on a pedestal

Chorus (Original Hindi):

Baahar baahar pooje mujhko duniya re

Bheetar bheetar ghure mora manwa re

Duniya jo ruse to phir bhi chal jaaye

Manwa na maane to kuch na chalna re

Verse 1:

The world outside puts me on a pedestal, you see

But deep inside, my heart keeps grinding me

If the world turns its back, I can still move along

But if my own heart says no, then nothing’s strong

Verse 2:

My heart keeps trying to tell you something, little by little

Just stop and listen — yeah, I know it’s difficult

You’re running around, chasing who knows what number

The world says stay ahead, don’t ever slumber

You couldn’t eat your fill, couldn’t sleep a wink

Every single day, a new tangle makes you sink

Verse 3:

Counting in God’s name, counting in the name of love

Now it’s WhatsApp, Twitter, Instagram — push and shove

Chorus (Original Hindi):

Baahar baahar pooje mujhko duniya re

Bheetar bheetar ghure mora manwa re

---

Verse 4:

First learn to live a moment just for you, my friend

Then go ahead, take a selfie if you must pretend

Dive deep into this moment, let it truly start

What’s the point of sharing if you never felt it in your heart

Verse 5:

Got stuck counting riches, always full of fear

Got tangled counting fame, the price was always clear

Counting all the relationships, just to raise the likes

Got lost inside the phone, lost real bonds on those hikes

---

Chorus (Original Hindi):

Baahar baahar pooje mujhko duniya re

Bheetar bheetar ghure mora manwa re

---

Verse 6:

If you feel like climbing Everest, go and climb it high

If you don’t, just stretch out in your courtyard, don’t ask why

Across the whole wide world, one soul that’s truly yours is plenty

If someone’s got your back, then nothing’s ever scary

---

Final Chorus (Original Hindi):

Baahar baahar pooje mujhko duniya re

Bheetar bheetar ghure mora manwa re

Duniya jo ruse to phir bhi chal jaaye

Manwa na maane to kuch na chalna re
