unche unche mehlo wale ban baithe bagwan
kabhi na socha kbhi na samjha hum bhi hai insaan
hum bhi hai insaan

bhai bhai hai hum fir bhi kar nahi sakte pyar
hum dono ke bich khadi hai daulat ki diwar
aa nirdhan ko gale laga le has kar o dhanwan
kabhi na socha kbhi na samjha
hum bhi hai insaan hum bhi hai insaan
unche unche mehlo wale ban baithe bagwan
kabhi na socha kbhi na samjha
hum bhi hai insaan hum bhi hai insaan

ek hi sager ek hi nayia ek hi khevan hara
hum bhi musafir tum bhi musafir
sab ka ek kinara ho o sab ka ek kinara
do tinke ek sath me ye nafrat ka tufan
kabhi na socha kbhi na samjha
hum bhi hai insaan hum bhi hai insaan
unche unche mehlo wale ban baithe bagwan
kabhi na socha kbhi na samjha
hum bhi hai insaan hum bhi hai insaan

ek kutiya kuch tute bartan ye jagir hamari
unche mehlo walo is par bhi hai nazar tumahri
ye jagir na tumko denge de denge hum jaan
kabhi na socha kbhi na samjha
hum bhi hai insaan hum bhi hai insaan
unche unche mehlo wale ban baithe bagwan
kabhi na socha kbhi na samjha
hum bhi hai insaan hum bhi hai insaan

Those in high palaces, gods they feign to be,
Never pondering, never seeing, we are human, you and me.
We are human, you and me.

Brothers we are, yet love we cannot find,
Between us stands a wall of wealth, unkind.
Embrace the poor, rich man, with laughter bright,
Never pondering, never seeing, in our shared plight.
We are human, you and me.
Those in high palaces, gods they feign to be,
Never pondering, never seeing,
We are human, you and me.

One sea we share, one vessel on the tide,
One boatman guides, with naught to hide.
We are travelers, you and I, to the very end,
Toward the same shore our journeys wend.
Two straws entwined, a storm of hate’s cruel art,
Never pondering, never seeing, one beating heart.
We are human, you and me.
Those in high palaces, gods they feign to be,
Never pondering, never seeing,
We are human, you and me.

A humble hut, a few cracked bowls we own,
This simple land, your eyes upon it flown.
This heritage, we’ll not relinquish, though life may cease,
Never pondering, never seeing, in our heart's peace.
We are human, you and me.
Those in high palaces, gods they feign to be,
Never pondering, never seeing,
We are human, you and me.
