songwriter: javed akhtar
singer: sujatha mohan, anuradha shriram

iswar allah tere jaha mein
(O God! in the world created by you)

nafrat kyo hai, jung hai kyo?
(why there is hatred, why wars break out)

tera dil to itna bada hai
(your heart is all accomodating)

insaa ka dil tang hai kyo?
(why humans are pursuing narrow self-interests)

iswar allah tere jaha mein, nafrat kyo hai, jung hai kyo?
tera dil to itna bada hai, insaa ka dil tang hai kyo?

kadam kadam par sarhad kyo hai
(why boundaries of nations have creeped up on every step)

sari jamee jo teri hai
(when the entire land belongs only to you)

sooraj ke phere karti hai
(it is revolving around the (glazing) sun)

phir kyo itni andheri hai
(then why there is so much darkness (of feelings on earth) )

is duniya ke daaman par
(why the attire of this world)

insaa ke lahoo ka rang hai kyo
(has got spotted by human blood)

iswar allah tere jaha mein, nafrat kyo hai, jung hai kyo?
tera dil to itna bada hai, insaa ka dil tang hai kyo?

goonj rahi hai kitni cheekhe
(how many screams are echoing)

pyaar ki baate kaun sune
(that nobody is able to hear to the messages of love)

toot rahe hai kitne sapne
(how many dreams are getting broken)

inke tukde kaun chune
(that nobody cares to sort out their pieces)

dil ke darwajo par taale
(locked are the doors of heart)

taalo par ye jang hai kyo
(why these locks have got rusted (so that heart doesn't open anymore))

iswar allah tere jaha mein, nafrat kyo hai, jung hai kyo?
tera dil to itna bada hai, insaa ka dil tang hai kyo?
