When thirst collapses the wall of cast,
This truth reveals our bond at last
No temple stands, no mosque apart
we share one earth, one human heart.
There is no more that needs be said,
We breathe one air, by one earth fed
In Mother Earth's embracing span
We are one tribe, one human clan.
From different prayers our voices rise
yet seek the same unbounded skies,
The names we give, the forms, we claim,
All fade before one human name.
When water flows from hand to hand,
No border holds; no faith can stand.
A single drop, a shining sign,
your thirst and mine are design.
In Ahmedabad, when tubewells ran dry,
A mosque gave water none denied.
No Hindu, Muslim only thirst,
Shared compassion quenched it first.
Across the deserts, seas, and snow,
The same life-giving rivers flow
No race can claim, no creed denies,
Our common earth and shared blue skies.
The child who laughs in any land
Still clasps the same warm human hand.
No tongue, no color can erase
The kinship of our human race.
We build our walls of fear and name
yet burn beneath one sunlit flame,
And when all pride and walls depart,
We find one earth, one human heart.
So let this simple truth remain,
No life on earth is born in vain,
one soil, one breath, one destiny,
One earth, one shared humanity.
One earth beneath our countless feet
One sun above one rhythm beat
Through dust of time and lines we drew
one human truth remains the law.
One earth, one water, one shared air,
This truth the whole wide world must share,
Till hearts remember free from fear,
one earth, one humanity here.
Beyond all faiths, beyond all names,
Beyond our pride, our fears, our claims,
we stand as one beneath the sun,
One earth, one humanity, One.
