O Dharti Tarse Ambar Barse Song Lyrics and Translation
From the movie – Baghban
baag ko janam denevaala baagbaan parivaar ko janam denevaala pitaa
A gardener gives life to a garden, a father gives life to a family;
donon hi apne khuun pasine se apne paudhon ko sinchte hain
both water their plants with their sweat and blood.
na sirf apne peR se uske saaye se bhi pyaar karte hain
They love not only their trees, but also the trees’ shadows,
kyonki use ummid hai ek roz jab voh zindagi se thak jaayega
because they hope that one day, when they are tired of life,
yehi saaya uske kaam aayega
these very shadows will shelter them.
o dharti tarse ambar barse rut aaye rut jaaye haay
Oh, the earth pines; the sky rains down; the season comes and goes.
har mausam ki khushbuu chunke baagbaan baag sajaaye
The gardener nurtures his garden with the fragrance of each season.
baagon ke har phuul ko apna samjhe baagban…
The gardener considers each and every flower his own…
har ghaRi kare rakhvaali patti patti Daali Daali sinche baagban
He unceasingly tends and waters each leaf, each branch.
baagbaan rab hai baagbaan…
The gardener is god…
o madhuban ki bahaar le aaye
He brings the spring of Madhuban.
mausam rite rite haay mausam rite rite
The seasons turn,
janam janam ki trishna bujh gayi
their desires are extinguished,
birhaa ke kshan bite haay birhaa ke kshan bite
the moments of separation pass.
phir se sajaaye bikhare apne sapne baagbaan…
Then, once again, the gardener adorns his scattered dreams…
baagbaan rab hai baagbaan…
The gardener is god…
maa pita ki unke man mein tanik nahin parvaah
The ones in whose hearts there isn’t the slightest concern for mother and father,
aansuu bhar nainon se inko dekhe baagbaan…
the gardener looks at them with tear-filled eyes…
baagbaan rab hai baagbaan…
The gardener is god…
kisne dukh ki agni daali banjar ho gaye khet
Who spread this fire of grief? The fields have gone barren.
hari bhari jivan bagiyaa se uRne lagi hai ret
Oh colorful life, sand has begun to fly from the garden.
kya boya tha aur kya kaaTa soche baagban…
The gardener wonders what he has reaped, and and what has been scythed away…
baagbaan rab hai baagbaan…
The gardener is god…
yehi sochke saansein likh di in phulon ke naam
He wrote his breaths in the names of the flowers,
inki chaniyaan chaniyaan bite umr ki dhalti shaam
in whose seeds was the setting of his evening.
gunche har dam hi muskaayein chaahe baagbaan…
The gardener wants his blossoms to smile forever…
har ghari kare rakhvaali patti patti Daali Daali sinche baagban
He unceasingly tends and waters each leaf, each branch.
baagbaan rab hai baagbaan…
The gardener is god…
