koi maange sona chandi
koi dhan dhaan re
main to maangu prem se
mere raam ji ka naam re

aai tere dawaar to fir
punji se kya kaam re
main to maangu prem se
mere raam ji ka naam re
koi maange sona chandi
koi dhan dhaan re
main to maangu prem se
mere raam ji ka naam re

jiske naam ko hanumant
hardam chhati par rakhe
jisne prem se sabri ke
sab jhuthe ber hi chaakhe
nahi aur shaan re ?
main to maangu prem se
mere raam ji ka naam re
koi maange sona chandi
koi dhan dhaan re
main to maangu prem se
mere raam ji ka naam re

ik din jab chhal se ravan ne
hari thi sita mayi
ravan ke chhal se bal se
jab dari thi sita maai
tab liye haath me dhanush
rath par chadhe ram raghurai
ravan ko sanghar ke
sita maa ki laaj bachai
kare gaiya halla pal me
pathar bhi taire jal me
aisa hain ram re
main to maangu prem se
mere raam ji ka naam re
koi maange sona chandi
koi dhan dhaan re
main to maangu prem se
mere raam ji ka naam re

Some crave gold and silver, shining bright,
Some seek wealth, fields of grain in morning light.
I crave only love, a burning pyre,
The name of Ram, my soul's desire.

I came to your door, my heart laid bare,
What need have I for earthly care?
I crave only love, a whispered plea,
The name of Ram, eternally.

Some crave gold and silver, a king's decree,
Some seek riches, for all the world to see.
I crave only love, a gentle art,
The name of Ram, within my heart.

The name Hanuman holds so dear,
Forever etched, dispelling fear,
And Ram, with love, embraced the fruit,
Offered by Shabari, at his foot.
No greater glory could there be,
Than love's embrace, setting souls free.
I crave only love, a silent vow,
The name of Ram, right here and now.

Some crave gold and silver, a fleeting dream,
Some seek abundance, it would seem.
I crave only love, my guiding star,
The name of Ram, both near and far.

When Ravana, with cunning hand,
Stole Sita, from the promised land,
And Sita, fearful, lost in dread,
From Ravana's darkness, she fled,
Then Ram, with bow in hand, so bold,
Upon his chariot, a story told,
He slew the demon, dark and grim,
And saved Sita, limb by limb,
And cows did moo in joyous sound,
And stones upon the water were found!
Such is Ram, his power so grand,
I crave only love, across the land,
The name of Ram, my final prayer,
Beyond compare.

Some crave gold and silver, glittering, bright,
Some seek fortune, with all their might.
I crave only love, my spirit's call,
The name of Ram, embracing all.
