meri hirni jaisi chal ho mere ghunghar wale bal
palat kar dekh le o kali topi wale aa
palat kar dekh le o kali topi wale aa

o mati ke putle kahe idhar udhar tu bhatke
jhuthi rah na chalna murkh sachi rah se hatke
ho sachi rah se hatke jagat ke jhuthe sare kam
hai sacha ek usi ka nam
palat kar aa bhi ja palat kar aa bhi ja
sharan us ram ki palat kar aa bhi ja
palat kar dekh le o kali topi wale aa
palat kar dekh le o kali topi wale aa

ye jag hai gum ki aag rup mera sabnam hai
ye jag hai gum ki aag rup mera sabnam hai
jab suraj nikle bol tera fir kya dam hai
jab suraj nikle bol tera fir kya dam hai
mera ek ishara dekh kafile ruk jaye
mera ek ishara dekh kafile ruk jaye
rab ungli ek uthaye to parwat jhuk jaye
rab ungli ek uthaye to parwat jhuk jaye
do ghadi baith kar dekh

meri julfo ki chaw me meri julfo ki chaw me
tana hua hai nile gagan ka chatar prabhu ke gaw me
is chatar tale jo aram deta hai bedam
palat kar aa bhi ja sharan us ram ki
sanwaare sabke bigde kam
karodo jeb me jiske nam
palat kar aa bhi ja sharan us ram ki
palat kar aa bhi ja sharan us ram ki

My gait, a doe's soft tread, curls in my hair's dark cascade,
Turn and behold, O man of shadowed hat,
Turn and behold, O man of shadowed hat.

O clay-born soul, why wander aimlessly,
Forsake false paths, you fool, and seek the Truth's decree.
From Truth you stray, in worldly games you play,
His Name alone, the only way.
Turn back, return, before the shadows grow,
Find refuge in Ram, and let your spirit flow.
Turn and behold, O man of shadowed hat,
Turn and behold, O man of shadowed hat.

This world, a fire of grief, my form, a dewdrop bright,
This world, a fire of grief, my form, a dewdrop bright.
When sun ascends, your boast loses its light,
When sun ascends, your boast loses its light.
A single glance from me, and caravans cease,
A single touch from Him, and mountains find release.
Sit a while, and see.

Beneath my tresses' shade, my sheltering embrace,
Beneath my tresses' shade, my sheltering embrace,
The sky's blue canopy, a realm of grace.
Beneath this roof, rest without price,
Turn back, return, in Ram's embrace,
He mends all broken, sets all free,
In countless pockets, His Name you see,
Turn back, return, in Ram's embrace,
Turn back, return, in Ram's embrace.
