oh dharti ki beti sun
nain me tere neer hai
or prano me peer hai
oh dharti ki beti
teri bhi kya takdir hai
oh dharti ki beti
teri bhi kya takdir hai
jaalim duniya tera
dukhda kya jaane
tere dil ka dard
koi kya pehchane
tu ek jakhmi ghayal
chalti firti takdeer hai
oh dharti ki beti
teri bhi kya takdir hai
teri bhi kya takdir hai
teri bhi kya takdir hai

ek dukhiya nari ka dekho
hathi bana hai bhai
dekho re duniya walo
bhagwan ki ye chaturayi
ke dekho hathi bana hai bhai
pati se thukrayi abla ka
man tha jab ghabraya
jungle ka gajraj
ek dukhiya ki madad ko aaya
sidhe sadhe hastiraz
me jaagi mamta maya
man ke sahayak

ek behn par usne pyar lootaya
phir kuch socha hathi ne
phir kuch socha hathi ne
or man hi man muskaya
bhaari bharkam soond me
bharkar ghaspus wo laya
phir wo pakkad gajraya
jungle se lakkad laya
behna ke rehne ko usne
chota sa ghar banwaya
ek dukhiya nari ka dekho
hathi bana hai bhai
dekho re duniya walo
bhagwan ki ye chaturayi
ke dekho hathi bana hai bhai
jab di behna ne roti
toh kah gayi kaya moti
ek bhole bhale prani
ki dekho re prem sagai
ek dukhiya nari ka dekho
hathi bana hai bhai

Daughter of Earth, attend,
Tears bloom in your eyes,
And sorrow's ache, a fire within.
Daughter of Earth,
What destiny is yours?
Daughter of Earth,
What fate has been decreed?
This cruel world, it knows not
Your suffering, your plight.
Who can fathom the pain
That dwells within your heart?
You are a wounded one, a spirit
That walks, a living fate.
Daughter of Earth,
What destiny is yours?
What destiny is yours?
What destiny is yours?

Behold, a sister, in despair,
Finds solace in an elephant's grace.
Look, ye people of the world,
At God's own wondrous ways.
Behold, the elephant, a brother now.
Rejected by her husband,
Her heart trembling with fear,
The forest's giant,
Came to her aid, a comfort near.
The gentle-souled elephant,
Awakened by compassion's tear,
A helping heart.

He showered her with love's affection,
Then paused, the elephant did,
And in his heart, a smile he hid.
With his mighty trunk,
He gathered grass and hay,
Then, with gentle strength, he brought,
From the forest, wood's array.
For his sister, he did fashion,
A tiny home, to stay.
Behold, a sister, in despair,
Finds solace in an elephant's grace.
Look, ye people of the world,
At God's own wondrous ways.
Behold, the elephant, a brother now.
When she offered him bread,
His form grew strong and fed.
A simple creature's love so true,
A marriage of hearts for you.
Behold, a sister, in despair,
Finds solace in an elephant's grace.
