ram kahan, ram kahan
van ki lataon mujhe batao
mere prabhu shri ram kahan
ram kahan, ram kahan

kab tak darsh ko tarsengi ye
vikal humari do ankhiya
hum to aise peer ban gaye
tut gayi jinki pakhiya
van ki hawao tum hi batao
mere prabhu shri ram kahan
ram kahan, ram kahan

tumre darsh bina ye naina
prabhu kahan tak tarsenge
baadal sawan me barse ye
baroh maas hi barsenge
daso dishao tum hi batao
mere prabhu shri ram kahan
ram kahan, ram kahan

prashn bhi mera ram kahan
utar bhi to milta ram kahan
kyu hansi udati prati dhwni
kyu hansi udati prati dhwni
koi to bataye ram kahan
ram kahan, ram kahan, ram kahan

Where, oh where, is Ram?
Vines of the forest, tell me His name.
Where is my Lord, Sri Ram?
Where, oh where, is Ram?

How long will these eyes, in sorrow's deep plight,
Yearn for a glimpse, a sacred sight?
We've become like wounded birds,
Whose wings are shattered, lost for words.
Winds of the forest, whisper His name,
Where is my Lord, Sri Ram?
Where, oh where, is Ram?

Without His sight, these eyes will weep,
Lord, how long will they their vigil keep?
Like clouds of monsoon, ever they'll pour,
Through all twelve months, and evermore.
Ten directions, guide me to His face,
Where is my Lord, Sri Ram's embrace?
Where, oh where, is Ram?

My question echoes, "Where is Ram?"
But answer itself, it finds no home.
Why does the echo mock and jeer?
Why does the echo mock, my fear?
Someone, tell me, where is Ram?
Where, oh where, is Ram, is Ram, is Ram?
