kaliyug ki sita ki uljhan
haye mat puchh mere man vairagi
jivan bhar ka vanvas liya
ram ke ghar ko bhi tayagi
kaliyug ki sita ki uljhan

har kadam pe uska haran hua
har mod pe rawan ko dekha
jab sayam ka dhiraz tuta
khud langh chali lakshman rekha
na rang me hai usko bhaya
wo sari khushiyo ko taz bhagi
haye kaliyug ki sita ki uljhan

nakaam hui badnaam hui
kal tak thi shardha ki murat
nakam hui badnam hui
kal tak thi sharda ki murat
dar dar bhatki mari mari
ashuvan me dub gayi surat
kaanton pe aayi nind jra
phulo ke bistar pe jaagi
haye kaliyug ki sita ki uljhan
mat puchh mere man vairagi
jivan bhar ka vanvas liya
wo ram ke ghar ko bhi tayagi
kaliyug ki sita ki uljhan

The Kali Yuga's Sita, adrift in doubt,
Oh, recluse heart, don't ask, my soul's worn shroud.
A lifetime's exile, a forest's lonely keep,
Even Ram's abode, she chose to weep.
The Kali Yuga's Sita, adrift in doubt.

At every step, a seizure of the soul,
At every turn, a Ravana taking toll.
When patience frayed, and courage met its end,
She crossed the Lakshman Rekha, a broken friend.
No color pleased, no joy could hold her fast,
She fled from all, her happiness surpassed.
Oh, the Kali Yuga's Sita, adrift in doubt.

Failed, disgraced, her honor overthrown,
Once an idol, now a face unknown.
Wandering lost, from door to desolate door,
Her beauty drowned in tears and nothing more.
Sleep came on thorns, a restless, thorny bed,
While on rose petals, she had once been led.
Oh, the Kali Yuga's Sita, adrift in doubt,
Don't ask, my recluse heart, my soul's worn shroud.
A lifetime's exile, a forest's lonely keep,
Even Ram's abode, she chose to weep.
The Kali Yuga's Sita, adrift in doubt.
