dharmo ke pujari bhul gaye
insan ko apne usulo me
pathar ki murat phoolo me
insan pde hai dhoolo me
pathar ki murat pahne hai
poshake resham ke jode
insan pade hai raaho me
kapdo ki jagah kagaj odhe
charcho me chadhti hai shamee
charcho me chadhti hai shamee
insaan ke ghar me andhiyare

ae sabke khuda ye majhab kya
jo karde juda insaano ko
hum balak hai hum kya jaane
tu gyan de in nadano ko
sajdo me milega kya inko
insan ko ye thukrate hai
insan me hi rahman chhupa
rahman ko ye thukrate hai
kabhi pyar kiya na padosi ko
kabhi pyar kiya na padosi ko
or kashi kaba hai pyare

Of what worth are temples, mosques, churches,
Of what worth are all holy places?
God's children, homeless and lost,
God's children, wandering, forlorn,
Of what worth are temples, mosques, churches,
Of what worth are all holy places?

The priests of faith, they have forgotten,
Humanity, bound by their decrees.
Stone idols adorned with blossoms,
While humanity lies in the dust.
Idols in robes of silk they dress,
While humans wander, draped in paper.
In churches, the candles are lit,
While darkness reigns in human homes.
Of what worth are temples, mosques, churches,
Of what worth are all holy places?
God's children, homeless and lost,
God's children, wandering, forlorn,
Of what worth are temples, mosques, churches,
Of what worth are all holy places?

O God of all, what is this religion,
That separates humans so?
We are but children, what do we know?
Grant wisdom to these ignorant ones.
What can they find in mere prostration,
When they reject humanity itself?
Rahman resides within humankind,
Yet Rahman they choose to forsake.
They never loved their neighbor,
Never loved their neighbor,
And yet they seek Kashi, Kaaba, my love?
Of what worth are temples, mosques, churches,
Of what worth are all holy places?
Of what worth are temples, mosques, churches,
Of what worth are all holy places?
God's children, homeless and lost,
God's children, wandering, forlorn,
Of what worth are temples, mosques, churches,
Of what worth are all holy places?
