khele ja khele ja tu khel khiladi khele ja
tu khele ja re kaam ram ka rehta nahi adhura
khel khiladi khele ja
kaam ram ka rehta nahi adhura
har khili kali jaadu na mili
fir kihlne ko fir khilne ko
har khili kali

jiwan ke taar huye taar taae
fir milne ko fir milne ko
jiwan ke taar
nadi ki gadir guti hai
chalne ko chalne ko
chalne ko chalne ko
deepak ki jyot bujhti hai
jalne ko jalne ko
deepak ki jyot bujhti hai
re kaam ram ka rehta nahi adhura
khele ja khele ja tu khel khiladi khele ja
khel khiladi khele ja

Play on, play on, you player of the game, play on,
Play on, for the work of the Ram, it never remains unfinished.
Play, you player, play on.
The work of the Ram, it never remains unfinished.
Each bloomed bud, a magic denied,
Yet to bloom again, to bloom again,
Each bloomed bud.

The threads of life, frayed to shreds,
Yearning to meet again, to meet again,
The threads of life.
The river's depths are obscured,
Yearning to flow, to flow,
Yearning to flow.
The lamp's flame flickers, dying,
Yearning to burn, to burn,
The lamp's flame flickers.
For the work of the Ram, it never remains unfinished.
Play on, play on, you player of the game, play on,
Play, you player, play on.
