ab to aao dhanush ke dhari
ab to aao dhanush ke dhari
aa kar ke dekho meri lachari
aa kar ke dekho meri lachari
hai badi yaha dukhiyari
hai badi yaha dukhiyari
tumhari janki tumhari janki
ab to aao dhanush ke dhari

ashok ban ye nahi hai parbhu
ashok ban ye nahi hai parbhu mai shok ban me rahti hu
ram ban ke hote hue mai shabdo ke ban sahti hu
aaj to hai jiwan se hari aaj to hai jiwan se hari
tumhari janki tumhari janki ab to aao dhanush ke dhari

dekho sawan bhi aake parbhu tum
dekho sawan bhi aake parbhu tum
mujh par bita kya hai kal tak thi jo mahlo ki dulhan
aaj wo sita kya hai sahti hai sankat parwat se bhari
sahti hai sankat parwat se bhari
tumhari janki tumhari janki
ab to aao dhanush ke dhari
aa karke dekho meri lachari
hai badi yaha dukhiyari
hai badi yaha dukhiyari
tumhari janki tumhari janki
ab to aao dhanush ke dhari

Come, O Wielder of the Bow, now descend,
Come, O Wielder of the Bow, and see,
My helplessness laid bare, my suffering,
My heart burdened, a sea of misery.
Your Janaki, forever yearning,
Come, O Wielder of the Bow, and see.

This is no Ashok Grove, my Lord,
But a forest of sorrow, I reside within.
Though you are Rama, I endure
The arrows of words, a constant din.
Defeated by life's cruel decree,
Your Janaki, forever yearning,
Come, O Wielder of the Bow, and see.

See, even the monsoon arrives, my Lord,
Yet the pain does not cease.
Once a queen in palaces grand,
Now Sita endures, her burdens increase.
A mountain of troubles, all I see,
Your Janaki, forever yearning,
Come, O Wielder of the Bow, and see.

Come, witness my helplessness,
My heart burdened, a sea of misery.
Your Janaki, forever yearning,
Come, O Wielder of the Bow, and see.
