lyrics

I am water
Main paani hoon
मैं पानी हूँ

I am Earth
Mein prithvee hoon
मैं पृथ्वी हूँ

I am clay
Mein mitthee hoon
मैं मिट्ठी हूँ

Earth, clay in motion
Prithvi aur mitthee milé jo,
पृथ्वी और मिट्ठी मिले जो

Made by nature
Prakriti se banaya hoon
प्रकृति से बनाया हूँ

I am part of it
Ek ang hoon main inka
एक अंग हूँ इनका

The essence of it
Saar hoon mein jinka
सार हूँ मैं जिनका

And I know
Har svas se yeh janoo
हर स्वास से यह जानू

I am clay
Mein mitthee hoon
मैं मिट्ठी हूँ


Constant change
Ulatein, palatein
उलटें पलटें

Then a return, often to fire
Phir jaayein vaapas aag mein
फिर जाएँ वापस आग में

Earth, clay in motion
Prithvi aur mitthee milé jo
पृथ्वी और मिट्ठी मिले जो

Made by nature
Prakriti se banaya hoon
प्रकृति से बनाया हूँ

I am not of this
Mein iska nahin hoon
में इसका नहीं हूँ

I am not of that
Main uska nahin hoon
में उसका नहीं हूँ

This is who I am
Jo hoon mein vahin hoon
जो हूँ मैं वही हूँ

Made by nature
Prakriti se banaya hoon
प्रकृति से बनाया हूँ

In nature’s hand
Kudrat ke haathon mein
कुदरत के हाथों में

I am clay but I stand alone
Mitthee hoon, lekin akela khada hoon
मिट्ठी हूँ लेकिन अकेला खड़ा हूँ
