bhgwan bhagwan bhgwan bhagwan
o duniya ke rakhwale
sun dard bhare mere naal
sun dard bhare mere naal
o duniya ke rakhwale
sun dard bhare mere naal
sun dard bhare mere naal
aas nirash ke do rango se
duniya tune sajaai
naiya ke sang tufan banaya
milan ke sath judaai
ja dekh liya harjaai
o lut gayi mere pyar ki nagri
ab to neer baha le
ab to neer baha le
o ab to neer baha le

o duniya ke rakhwale
sun dard bhare mere naal
sun dard bhare mere naal
aang bani sawan ki barkha
phul bane angare
naagan ban gayi raat suhani
pathar ban gaye tare
sab tut chuke hai sahare
jeevan apna wapas le le
jeevan dene wale
o duniya ke rakhwale
chand ko dhundhe pagal suraj
shyam ko dhundhe sawera
main bhi dhundhu us pritam ko
ho na saka jo mera
bhagwan bhala ho tera
o kismat phuti aas na tuti
paanw main pad gaye chhale
o duniya ke rakhwale

mahal udaas or galiya suni
chup chup hai diware
dil kya ujda duniya ujdi
ruth gayi hai baahre
hum jeevan kaise gujare
o mandir girta phir ban jata
dil ko kaun sambhale
duniya ke rakhwale
sun dard bhare mere naal
sun dard bhare mere naal
o duniya ke rakhwale

rakhwale rakhwale rakhwale

rakhwale
rakhwale
rakhwale

God, God, God, God,
O Keeper of the world,
Hear my pain-filled cries,
Hear my pain-filled cries.
O Keeper of the world,
Hear my pain-filled cries,
Hear my pain-filled cries.
With hope and despair, two colors,
You have adorned the world,
The boat with the storm you fashioned,
Union with separation entwined.
I have seen, a wandering heart,
O, my love's city has been plundered,
Now, let the tears flow free,
Now, let the tears flow free,
O, now let the tears flow free.

O Keeper of the world,
Hear my pain-filled cries,
Hear my pain-filled cries.

Fire became the monsoon's rain,
Flowers turned to embers,
The lovely night, a serpent now,
Stars transformed to stone.
All support has crumbled,
Take back my life,
O Giver of life,
O Keeper of the world.

The mad sun seeks the moon,
Dawn seeks the dark of night,
I also seek that beloved one,
Who could not be mine.
May God's favor be upon you,
O, fate has broken, hope remains,
Blisters have formed on my feet.
O Keeper of the world.

Palaces are desolate, streets are silent,
Walls are hushed and still,
What heart is ruined, the world is ruined,
Springtime has turned away.
How shall I spend my life?
O, temples fall and then rebuild,
Who will mend the heart?
O Keeper of the world,
Hear my pain-filled cries,
Hear my pain-filled cries.
O Keeper of the world,
Keeper, Keeper, Keeper,
Keeper, Keeper, Keeper.
