ENGLISH This is my father's world And to my listening ears All nature sings, and round me rings The music of the spheres This is my father's world The birds their carols raise The morning light, the lily white Declare their maker's praise This is my father's world I rest me in the thought Of rocks and trees, of skies and seas His hand the wonders wrought This is my father's world Oh, let me never forget That though the wrong seems oft so strong God is the ruler yet This is my father's world Why should my heart be sad? The Lord is king, let the heavens ring God reigns, let the earth be glad This is my father's world He shines in all that's fair In the rustling grass, I hear him pass He speaks to me everywhere In the rustling grass, I hear him pass He speaks to me everywhere | HINDI ये मेरा पिता का जहां और मेरे सुनते कानों में सारी कुदरत गाती झूमती है सरगम वो रचना की ये मेरा पिता का जहां पक्षियां भी गाती है सुबह का तेज, और सोसन श्वेत उसकी महिमा सुनाते है ये मेरा पिता का जहां मेरा मन अब चैन में है की चट्टानें, पेड, समुद्र और गगन उसके हाथों की अचरज है ये मेरा पिता का जहां मै कभी नही भूलूं ये की चाहे दुष्ट अकसर लगते वीर परमेश्वर शासक है ये मेरा पिता का जहां मेरा दिल क्यूं हो उदास प्रभु राजा है, स्वर्ग गाती है पृथ्वी मगन हो जाए ये मेरा पिता का जहां उसकी चमक हर भलाई में है सरसराहट घास में गुजरते हुए वह हर जगह मुझसे बोलता है सरसराहट घास में गुजरते हुए वह हर जगह मुझसे बोलता है (Translation by Domenic M.) |
