mera naam raju gharana anam
mera naam raju gharana anam bahti hai ganga jahaan mera dhaam
mera naam raju gharana anam bahti hai ganga jaha mera dhaam
mera naam raju

kam naye nit geet banana geet bana ke jaha ko sunana
koi na mile to akele me gana
koi na mile to akele me gana
kaviraj kahe na ye taj rahe na ye raj rahe na ye raj gharana
preet aur preet ka geet rahe kabhi lut saka na koi ye khazana
mera naam raju gharana anam bahti hai ganga jahaan mera dhaam
mera naam raju

dhul ka ek badal albela niklaa hoon apne safar me akela
chup chup dekhu mai dunia ka mela
chup chup dekhu mai dunia ka mela
kahe man kare abhiman kare mehman tujhe ik din to hai jana
dafli utha aawaz mila ga mil ke mere sang prem tarana
mera naam raju gharana anam
mera naam raju gharana anam bahti hai ganga jaha mera dhaam
mera naam raju gharana anam bahti hai ganga jaha mera dhaam
mera naam

My name is Raju, lineage unknown,
My name is Raju, lineage unknown, where Ganges flows, my home is shown.
My name is Raju.

Each dawn, new songs I weave and birth,
And sing them out to all the earth.
If none will hear, then I alone, will sing.
The poet cries, No crown, no throne, no royal line,
Only love’s tune, in purest design,
A treasure none can ever steal or seize.
My name is Raju, lineage unknown, where Ganges flows, my home is shown.
My name is Raju.

A dust cloud, whimsical and free,
I journey forth, in solitude.
I watch unseen, this grand parade,
I watch unseen, this world's cascade.

Why pride, why boast?
Fool, you must depart one day,
Take your drum, and join the chorus,
Sing with me, love's sweet lay.
My name is Raju, lineage unknown,
My name is Raju, lineage unknown, where Ganges flows, my home is shown.
My name is Raju, lineage unknown, where Ganges flows, my home is shown.
My name is Raju.
