Six Tongues of Earth

(hummmmmmm) Before the sky first learned to glow,

The mountain

whispered from below.

हामी यहाँ

छौं — we rise slow.

Before the dawn

unveiled the skies, The wind awoke

with silver sighs.

हामी यहाँ छौं

—

our spirits rise.

Before the waters found their frame,

The river carried

ancient flame. हामी उठ्छौं

— we speak your name.

Before the night

first learned to burn,

The ember taught

the world to turn.

हामी

बल्छौं —

we always yearn.

Before the breath of life was known,

The spirit shaped

the world alone. हामी

छायाँ

— we move in tone.

Before the stars first crossed the dome,

The sky became

the world’s first home.

हामी

गगन

— we roam and roam.

Earth sings low. Wind sings high.

Water sings between. Fire sings bright.

Spirit sings soft. Sky sings

wide. Six voices,

one world. (hummmmmmm)
