GANGA BEHTI HO KYUN? 

Vistar hai apar, praja dono par, kare hahakar ni sabdth sada,

Oh ganga tum, oh ganga behti ho kyun?..

Vistar hai apar, praja dono par, kare hahakar ni sabdth sada,
Oh ganga tum, ganga behti ho kyun?..
Naitikta nasht ***, manavta bhrasht ***,

nirlajj bhav se behti ho kyun?..

Itihas ki pukar, kare hunkar, oh ganga ki dhar, nirbal jan ko, sabalsangrami, samagrogrami, banati nahi ho kyun?.
Vistar hai apar, praja dono par, kare hahakar ni sabdth sada,
Oh ganga tum, oh ganga behti ho kyun?..
Anparjan, aksharheen, anginjan, khadyoviheen, neatravhiheen,
dikshmon ho kyun?.
Itihas ki pukar, kare hunkar, oh ganga ki dhar, nirbal jan ko, sabalsangrami, samagrogrami, banati nahi ho kyun?.
Vistar hai apar, praja dono par, kare hahakar ni sabdth sada,
Oh ganga tum, ganga behti ho kyun?..
vayakti rahey, vayakshti nirvighn, sakalsamaj, vayakshtitva rahit,
nishpran samaj, upbhoktina kyun?..
Itihas ki pukar, kare hunkar, oh ganga ki dhar, nirbal jan ko, sabalsangrami, samagrogrami, banati nahi ho kyun?.
Vistar hai apar, praza dono par, kare hahakar ni sabdth sada,
Oh ganga tum, ganga behti ho kyun?..
Tejasvini, kyun na rahin,tum nishchay, chintan nahin,

prano mey prerna deti na kyun?

Tum madhyavami, kurushetra grami, gangey janani, navbharat mey, bhismarupi sutsamrajey, janati nahi ho kyun?.

Vistar hai apar, praja dono par, kare hahakar ni sabdth sada,
Oh ganga tum, ganga behti ho kyun?..
Vistar hai apar, praja dono par, kare hahakar ni sabdth sada,
Oh ganga tum, ganga behti ho kyun?..
Vistar hai apar, praja dono par, kare hahakar ni sabdth sada,
Oh ganga tum, ganga tum, ganga tum, oh ganga tum, ganga tum, ganga behti ho kyun?..

English translation


your expanse is unreachable, the public on both sides is wailing silently
O Ganges, why do you flow

morality is destroyed, humanity has been corruptedwhy do you flow in this shameless way

the call of history is roaring Oh flow of Ganges, why don't you make the weak people stronger, make the villagers unite to fight for their rights


innumerable people are illiterate, letterless, without food, blind,
Why are you not teaching them the path?

people stay without sufficient income, the entire society is economically challenged
society is lifeless, why are you unaware / unfeeling of this?
why did you not stay full of glory
you are decided, no worries
why don't you give inspiration to life
you are flowing through the middle, seen the villages of Kurushetra (where Mahabharat took place), mother of Bhishm (great uncle of Pandavs & Kauravs), in this new India why don't you give birth to sons like Bhishm again?
