kahe apno ke kam nahi aaye tu
kehte hai sabki bigdhi ram banaye tu
hey ram
kahe apno ke kam nahi aaye tu
kehte hai sabki bigdhi ram banaye tu
hey ram

kaise tamasha gair ki tadpan
man ko mere tadpati hai
tere bande ka khun hai behta
tujhko daya nahi aati hai
tujhi ko hasenge log tamam
tujhi ko hasenge log tamam
kahe apno ke kam nahi aaye tu
kehte hai sabki bigdi ram banaye tu
hey ram

chahe tu jitna chup rahe rama
mai na kabhi aise harunga
ha tu hi keh de tu nahi mera
fir mai kabhi na pukarungi
aage samjhana tera kam
aage samjhana tera kam
kahe apno ke kam nahi aaye tu
kehte hai sabki bigdhi ram banaye tu
hey ram

Why do you fail those you hold dear?
They say you mend all that's broken, year after year.
Oh, Ram,
Why do you fail those you hold dear?
They say you mend all that's broken, year after year.
Oh, Ram,

This spectacle of others' pain,
Torments my very soul, again, again.
Your servant's blood, it flows and spills,
And still, no mercy your heart fulfills.
The world will laugh at your design,
The world will laugh at your design.
Why do you fail those you hold dear?
They say you mend all that's broken, year after year.
Oh, Ram,

No matter how silent you remain, Rama,
I will never surrender to this drama.
If you declare, "You are not mine,"
Then never again will I entwine
My prayers with your name,
Then the rest is your game.
Why do you fail those you hold dear?
They say you mend all that's broken, year after year.
Oh, Ram.
