chal sanyasi mandir me mandir me mandir me
chal sanyasi mandir me tera chimta meri chudiya
dono sath bajayenge, sath sath khanakayenge
kyu ham jaye mandir me pap hai tere andar me
lekar mala kath dushala, ram nam gun gayenge
chal sanyasi mandir me tera chimta meri chudiya
dono sath bajayenge sath-sath khanakayenge
chal sanyasi mandir me

resham sa ye rup salona yauvan hai ya tapata sona
ye teri mohan si murat kar gayi mujhpe haye jadu tona
kaisa jadu tona, sari man ki ye maya hai
are tujh par devi kisi rog ki padi vikat chhaya hai
chal sanyasi mandir me tera kamandal meri gagariya
sath sath chhalakayege, sath sath chhalakayege
kyu ham jaye mandir me pap hai tere andar me
ham to jogi ram ke rogi dhuni alag ramayenge
chal sanyasi mandir me

man se man ka deep jala le madhur milan ki jyot jagale
puran kar de meri asha aaj mujhe apna le apna le
man se man ka dip jalana mujhe nahi aata hai
bas puja ki jyot jalana mujhe yahi bhata hai
chal sanyasi mandir me mera rup aur teri javani
milakar jyot jalayenge, milakar jyot jalayenge
kyo ham jaye mandir me pap hai tere andar me
dharm chhod akar, dhyan chhod akar pap nahi apanayenge
chal sanyasi mandir me

prem hai puja prem hi pujan
prem jagat hai prem hi jivan, mat kar tu apaman prem ka
prem hai nam prabhu ka bada hi pavan
prem prem kar ke mujhko kar degi ab tu pagal
mera dhiraj dol raha hai, laj rakhe gangajal
chal sanyasi mandir me teri mala mera gajara
ganga sath nahayege, ganga sath nahayege
chal sanyasi mandir me tera chimta meri chudiya
dono sath bajayenge, sath sath khanakayenge
chal sanyasi mandir me

Walk, Sannyasi, to the temple, to the temple, to the temple,
Walk, Sannyasi, to the temple, your tongs, my bangles,
Together we'll play, together we'll chime,
Why go to the temple? Sin dwells within you.
With prayer beads and shawl, we'll sing the glory of Ram,
Walk, Sannyasi, to the temple, your tongs, my bangles,
Together we'll play, together we'll chime,
Walk, Sannyasi, to the temple.

This silken form, so fair, is youth, or burning gold?
This captivating face has cast a spell on me untold.
What sorcery is this? It's all the mind's illusion,
Alas, upon you, a shadow of illness has fallen.
Walk, Sannyasi, to the temple, your bowl, my water pot,
Together we'll spill, together we'll spill,
Why go to the temple? Sin dwells within you.
We are Ram's ascetics, his devotees, we'll light a different fire,
Walk, Sannyasi, to the temple.

Light the lamp of the heart with heart, ignite the flame of sweet union,
Fulfill my hopes today, embrace me, make me your own,
Lighting the heart's lamp, I do not know how,
Only lighting the puja's lamp, that's what I cherish.
Walk, Sannyasi, to the temple, my form and your youth,
Together we'll light the flame, together we'll light the flame,
Why go to the temple? Sin dwells within you.
Leaving the path, abandoning meditation, sin we will not embrace,
Walk, Sannyasi, to the temple.

Love is worship, love is prayer,
Love is the world, love is life.
Do not disrespect love,
Love is the name of God, it's so sacred.
By love, love, you'll drive me mad,
My patience wavers, may the holy Ganges save my honor!
Walk, Sannyasi, to the temple, your beads, my jasmine garland,
In the Ganges we'll bathe, in the Ganges we'll bathe,
Walk, Sannyasi, to the temple, your tongs, my bangles,
Together we'll play, together we'll chime,
Walk, Sannyasi, to the temple.
