bharth avadh me shok manaye
ram bina kachu nahi suhave
bharth avadh me shok manaye
bharth ji ram ke liye vyakul ho rhe hai
bandh kyun ho gaya jake kakaho padhta jaye
jab bhi koi jor ka dhamaka hota hai
inka matha kharab ho jata hai
kaho padhata jaye

bharth avadh me shok manaye
ram bina kachu nahi suhave
man akhiyan jag mita tu de lal
avadh puri me bharth akele
bhaiya sab dukh sankat ka
karn keval main hath bhaga
ite ute khoje ite ute dole
gungi rshna kahe bole
tujh bin dur
kab main rutha bandhu manau
aaja aaja aaja aaja
aaja

Grief descends on Avadh's heart,
Bharat weeps, torn apart.
Without Ram, all beauty fades,
In Avadh, sorrow pervades.
Bharat, for Ram, a soul in pain,
A reading silenced, a closed refrain.
When thunder cracks, the spirit stings,
The brow clouds, the silence clings.
Speak, read, release the word.

Grief descends on Avadh's heart,
Without Ram, all beauty departs.
Mind, erase the world's deep hue,
In Avadh, Bharat, lonely, true.
Brother, all sorrow, all despair,
My fault alone, the weight I bear.
Searching high, searching low,
Silent tongue, why do you know?
Without you, lost and far,
When can I mend this broken scar?
Return, return, return, return,
Return.
