ek chokariya bich bajriya hamse ankh ladaye
ek chokariya bich bajriya hamse ankh ladaye
pyar se jab ham pas bulaye wo bhage katraye
wo hamre hath kaise aye wo hamre hath kaise aye
nam lahriya ang ang mera bijli sa lahraye
nam lahriya ang ang mera bijli sa lahraye
jan jise na pyari ho wo hamko hath lagaye
hasi me jan kahi na jaye hasi me jan kahi na jaye

pyar me gori jan lutana dil walo ka kam
pyar me gori jan lutana dil walo ka kam
bijli ko mai pani kardu heera mera nam
najar ek bar jo lad jaye to kaise pyar na ho jaye
to kaise pyar na ho jaye
hamre gaw me hamne dekha aj gajab andher
hamre gaw me hamne dekha aj gajab andher
ek mati ka madho bole apne ap ko dher
ke jhuthi shan pe itraye use to ram ji samjhaye
use to ram ji samjhaye

hamre gaw mw hamne dekha ek ajuba yar
hamre gaw mw hamne dekha ek ajuba yar
ek phul ki jhadi phuljhdi
ban gayi tej katar jo aise rup badle
wo hamre hath kaise aye wo hamre hath kaise aye
rup ka rasiya bhawra jab koi aise jal bichaye
rup ka rasiya bhawra jab koi aise jal bichaye
kali manchali rang na badle phir to jan se jaye
ye juthe jal kyu failaye ke tujhse ram hi bachaye
ke tujhse ram hi bachaye

man ke angana ek matwari maina shor machaye
man ke angana ek matwari maina shor machaye
pyar ka pinjra lakh dikhau dekh dekh ud jaye
chidiya hath kaise aye chidiya hath kaise aye chidiya
kad ka chota akala ka mota surat jaise bhalu
kad ka chota akala ka mota surat jaise bhalu
jaha bhi dekhe mujhko karde pyar ka bhopu chalu
jaha mil jaye piche pad jaye use to ram hi samjhaye
use to ram hi samjhaye

are lala dekho dekho ha ha dekho
lala aye bolo ram
ram ram bolo ram ram ram bolo ram
hai kuch gadbad hone wala bolo ram
ram ram bolo ram ram ram bolo ram
pahnao phulo ki mala
ram ram bolo ram ram ram bolo ram
kanjusi me hai sarnam kabhi na kharche ek chatak
ram ram bolo ram ram ram bolo ram
mal ki pooja subah sham inka mandir ma lgodam
dolat se hai inko kam inka nam hai dhani ram
inka nam hai dhani ram dhani ram athani ram
ram ram bolo ram ram ram bolo ram

A maiden, in the bazaar, her eyes met mine,
A maiden, in the bazaar, her eyes met mine.
With love I beckoned, she fled, a shy design.
How could she grace my touch, how could she be mine?
Her name, a wave, her limbs, a lightning shine,
Her name, a wave, her limbs, a lightning shine.
Who holds no life dear, let them entwine.
Her laughter, a soul's escape, her laughter, a soul's design.

To lose one's life in love's embrace, a lover's art,
To lose one's life in love's embrace, a lover's art.
I'll turn the lightning to water, my diamond heart.
Once eyes meet, how can love depart?
Once eyes meet, how can love depart?
In my village, I saw a strange, dark start,
In my village, I saw a strange, dark start.
A clay idol, they call it a god, a self-made mart.
On false pride, they preen and they preen,
May Ram illuminate their heart.

In my village, I saw a wondrous sight,
In my village, I saw a wondrous sight.
A single flower, a firework bright,
Turned to a dagger, in its might.
With such shifting forms, how could she be mine?
With such shifting forms, how could she be mine?
The beauty's lover, a bumblebee, casts a web's design,
The beauty's lover, a bumblebee, casts a web's design,
A black fish won't change its color,
Then from life it does decline,
Why weave these false snares,
May Ram be thy confine.

In the courtyard of my mind, a wild one did wail,
In the courtyard of my mind, a wild one did wail.
The cage of love I show, it flees, it does not prevail.
How can the bird be caught, how can the bird prevail?
How can the bird be caught, how can the bird prevail?
Short in stature, mind a bear,
A bear of a face, it does not wail,
Wherever I appear, it starts love's horn to hail.
Wherever I appear, it starts love's horn to hail.
It follows, it pursues, may Ram show it the trail.

Oh, Lalaji, look, look, ha ha, look,
Lalaji arrives, say Ram.
Ram Ram, say Ram, Ram Ram, say Ram.
Something's amiss, say Ram.
Ram Ram, say Ram, Ram Ram, say Ram.
Adorn him with garlands, Ram.
Ram Ram, say Ram, Ram Ram, say Ram.
A miser, he, in his name, never spends a dime,
Ram Ram, say Ram, Ram Ram, say Ram.
They worship the mall, morning and night,
Their temple is the mall's hold.
Wealth is their only aim, their name, Dhani Ram.
Their name is Dhani Ram, Dhani Ram, Atthani Ram.
Ram Ram, say Ram, Ram Ram, say Ram.
