shiv to ek belpatte se hi tust
shiv to ek belpatte se hi tust
pal me parithwi kampate det wo jis jan hoye rust
shiv to ek belpatte se hi tust
shiv to ek belpatte se hi tust

wo hai re rajo ke raja inne khud bhi bod khai saja
wo hai re rajo ke raja inne khud bhi bod khai saja
ye hai shiv karta waish shiv to ek belpatte se hi tust
shiv to ek belpatte se hi tust

usko mahbub bol ke bajhu na jane
samjhao to samjhu murkh sahaj sambhale
uchi kardi ganga ki shan dukhi ke ye daya nidhan
uchi kardi ganga ki shan dukhi ke ye daya nidhan
ye wishw jagat wishaw nath hai karuna se pust
shiv to ek belpatte se hi tust
shiv to ek belpatte se hi tust
om nama shivay om nama shivay

A single leaf, a sacred offering, suffices,
A single leaf, his hunger gently soothes.
The earth may tremble, he whose wrath arises,
A single leaf, his peace forever smooths.
A single leaf, his spirit ever grooves.

He, King of Kings, yet bore a heavy cost,
He, King of Kings, with suffering embraced.
Shiva, the healer, though the world is lost,
A single leaf, his love forever traced.
A single leaf, his presence interlaced.

Call him beloved, and the burdens cease,
Explain, and wisdom blooms in the heart.
He raised the Ganges, brought the soul's release,
Compassion's fount, a brand new start.
He is the world, the world's most tender art.
A single leaf, his grace forever freed.
A single leaf, the seed of every deed.
Om Namah Shivaya, Om Namah Shivaya.
