Tatvdarshi Lyrics English Translation – Masoom Sharma

Dharm-Karm Ka Beej Khatam Maryada Tod Ke Dhar Di
Are Pyare Desh Hamare Ki Kati Re Maati Kar Di
Ho Jaat-Paat Mein Baant Ke Har Insaan Aa Liya Khatre Mein
Are Hindu Hindu Kona Hindustan Aa Liya Khatre Mein

Muglon Barge Kapti Maanas Ghane Firre Se Guru Bane
Jagah-Jagah Pe Dere Khul Gaye Baithe Se Kai Guru Bane
Sab Apni Zanjeer Baandh De Apni-Apni Shiksha De
Are Naam Den Ka Odda Leke Band Kamre Mein Deeksha De

Dayanand Se Purusha Ki Bhi Maadi Seekh Bata De Re
Chor Kehve Jo Krishan Ne Ve Kisne Theek Bata De Re
Wo Ye Kade Khot Rey Jisne Bera Kona Mehatabata
Are Tatvdarshi Bane Firre Aur Baal Ni Bera Tatav Ka

Arre Fuddu Se Wo Log Jo Inke Maatha Teke Jailan Mein
Moksh Dawaave Bhagata Ne Aur Aap Padhe Se Jailan Mein
Are Kamar Toot Gayi Janta Ki Par Inki Chaandi Hori Se
Padhi-Likhi Ya Janta Fer Bhi Khamkha Aandhi Hori Se

Baalaji Ke Bhagat Bane Darbaar Lagaave Mangal Ne
Chata Raakh Ki Chutki Re Ye Bhoot Bhajaave Mangal Ne
Suljhaye Te Suljhe Koi Na Buddhi Inke Bheda Ki
Rape Case Mein Fanse Pade Aur Baat Kare Se Veda Ki

Bhaktaniya Ki Baat Kasooti Mukti Towe Dera Mein
Ghar Ke Baalak Bhookhe Sove Roti Pove Dera Mein
Doodh Te Nawaave Mushtande Ye Usse Doodh Te Kheer Bane
Prasad Ke Tariya Khaave Log Nu Soche Amar Shareer Bane

Are Sache Maanas Thode Se Beimaan Bathere Hore Se
Anaath Aashram Vridh Ashram Suthra Business Tore Se
Copy Thaaye Desh Firre Se Chanda Karte Haande Se
Leke Ne Kai Naam Ka Dhandha Karte Haande Se

Thode Maanas Aise Hain Jo Sachi Seva Kar Rahe Se
Gau Mata Ki Raksha Khaatir Sab Kuch Girvi Dhar Se
Katha Karniye Business Kar Re Dhaase Maare Bade Bade
Ye Parche Khole Auran Ke Khud Ke Parche Khade Pade

Jo Leen Rahve Se Bhakti Mein Ve Gine-Chune Sanyaasi Se
Baaki To Ghane Paakhand Karke Kare Atyasi Se
Harry Lather Badla Kyon Kar Padhe-Likhe Gawara Ne
Ya Duniya Pagal Kar Rakhi In Dharm Ke Thekedaar Ne

Ya Duniya Pagal Kar Rakhi In Dharm Ke Thekedaar Ne
Re Duniya Bawli Kar Rakhi In Dharm Ke Thekedaar Ne
Ya Duniya Pagal Kar Rakhi In Dharm Ke Thekedaaro Ne
Re Duniya Bawli Kar Rakhi In Dharm Ke Thekedaar Ne

The seed of righteousness and duty has been destroyed by breaking all boundaries.
Oh, our beloved country has been reduced to dust.
By dividing every person through caste and creed, everyone has been put in danger.
Oh, by dividing Hindus against Hindus, Hindustan has been put in danger.

Many deceitful people like the Mughals are roaming around pretending to be gurus.
Ashrams have opened everywhere, with many people sitting there pretending to be gurus.
Everyone binds their own chains and gives their own teachings.
Oh, taking the pretext of giving a name, they initiate people in closed rooms.

They even teach men lessons worse than those of Dayanand.
Tell me who can rightly explain those who call Krishna a thief.
Who knows what is true or false when they themselves know nothing about its importance?
Oh, they roam around claiming to be enlightened while having no knowledge of the truth.

Those foolish people bow their heads before them and remain trapped in their clutches.
They promise salvation to their devotees while they themselves remain trapped.
Oh, the common people are struggling, while these people are prospering.
Even though this population is educated, it is still being needlessly swept away like a storm.

They become devotees of Balaji and hold gatherings in his name.
With a pinch of ash, they claim to drive away ghosts and spirits.
No one can unravel the mysteries of their minds.
They are caught up in rape cases, yet they talk about the Vedas.

The female devotees speak of liberation while staying in the religious camp.
Their children sleep hungry at home while bread is served at the camp.
These strongmen bathe in milk, while that same milk is used to make pudding.
They eat food as prasad and make people believe it will make their bodies immortal.

Oh, there are few honest people and many dishonest ones.
Orphanages and old-age homes are being run as profitable businesses.
They roam around copying others in the name of the country and collecting donations.
They use various names to carry on their businesses.

There are a few people who are genuinely serving others.
For the protection of the sacred cow, they are willing to mortgage everything.
Those who turn religious discourses into business make grand claims.
They expose the faults of others while their own faults stand exposed.

Those who remain devoted to worship are only a handful of true ascetics.
Most others commit atrocities while practicing great hypocrisy.
Why has the educated common person accepted such a change, Harry Lather?
These self-appointed guardians of religion have driven the world crazy.

These self-appointed guardians of religion have driven the world crazy.
They have made the whole world foolish, these self-appointed guardians of religion.
These self-appointed guardians of religion have driven the whole world crazy.
They have made the whole world foolish, these self-appointed guardians of religion.
