Mero Haatmaa - Kunti Moktan

मेरो हातमा न गीता थियो
न बाइबल थियो न कुरान थियो
पहिलो रोदनमा जब नेत्र खुल्यो
जगको सब सृष्टि समान थियो

तनभित्रको रातो रगत उही छ
मुटुको चारखण्ड पनि उही छ
किन कोही ईसाई र शिख भयौ
किन हुन्दू र अनि मुस्लिम भयौ

कति सुन्दर छ कति आत्मीय छ
सबै सृष्टि वरीपरी घुम्दछ
गोधुलि छ उही उषा छ उही
नील नभ छ उही सूर्य चन्द्र उही

कसले के लिई जगमा झर्‍यो
परधर्म बिना भवर को तर्‍यो
यही प्रश्नको उत्तर खोज्नु छ
भेदभाव सबै हटाउनु छ

Mero hatma na gita thiyo
Na baibal thiyo na kurana thiyo
Pahilo rodanama jab netra khulyo
Jagko sab srishti samana thiyo

Tanabhitrako rato ragat uhi chha
Mutuko charakhanda pani uhi chha
Kina kohi isai ra shikh bhayau
Kina hundu ra ani muslim bhayau

Kati sundar chha kati aatmiya chha
Sabai srishti waripari ghumdachha
Godhuli chha uhi usha chha uhi
Nil nabh chha uhi surya chandra uhi

Kasle ke lii jagma jhar‍yo
Paradharma bina bhawar ko tar‍yo
Yahi prashnako uttar khojnu chha
Bhedabhav sabai hataunu chha

Neither did I carry a Gita
Nor a Bible or a Qaran on my hands
When my eyes opened at the first wail
The entire creation of the earth stood equal

Inside the body, flows the same red blood
Similar are the four chambers of the heart
Why some became Christian and Sikh
Why some became Hindu or Muslim

How beautiful it is, how deeply interwoven
The entire existence revolves all around
The dawn is the same and so is the dusk
Blue are the skies, the same sun and moon

Who stepped in this world beholding things
Who crossed the samsara without faith
Need to seek for an answer of this quest
Need to put an end to every unfairness
