A beautiful hymn from the film Ship of Theseus. Music by Rohit Sharma.

Lyrics & English Translation

नाहं जाणामि कंपि देवं न दईवं , णत्थि इसरो णियन्ता।

णत्थि सग्गभूमि ण णिरयं। 

णो जगकत्ता णो विकत्ताय ण य जगईसरो कोवि।

ण रक्खओ ण भक्खओ।

ण य कालाईओ आदित्ठो दन्दनाईओ।

कम्मुणो चेव दण्डं।

हं सयमेव सट्ठा भोत्ता य मे सुहदुह - पियाप्पिअसंजोगाण।

अप्पसरियो जीवो सव्वाण सुहुमतिसुहुमेसु।

नत्थु कोवि कयापि दुहिओ मया।

सया मे इइ संवेअणा।

सच्चस्स मग्गा बहवे, सच्चो य एगरुबो णवरं।

समया मे मणो दुव्विहअवस्थासु।

मम पत्थणा -निज्जरउ अन्नाणकंमं।

शुद्धसासयरुवो हं इइ अत्थु मे सद्दंसणंअन्ते- ण य भवउ चवियं 

मे पयं मोक्खमग्गओ ।

There are no celestial beings I know of, there is no god. 

Neither heaven nor hell. 

Neither a preserver, nor an owner of this universe. 

Neither a creator nor a destroyer. 

No eternal judge. 

There is only the law of causality. 

I take responsibilities for my actions and their consequences. 

The smallest of creatures have a life-force just like mine. 

May I always have such compassion. 

May I never cause any harm to anybody. 

The truth is multi-faceted, and there are many ways to reach it. 

May I find balance in this duality. 

I pray, may my karma of ignorance be shed. 

May my true self be liberated from the cycle of life and death. 

And attain moksha.
