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)
