o raama ho ho, o raama ho ho

man me lagan jagaayi
tan me agan lagaayi, phir de di judaayi
tum dost ho ya dusman raam ji
tum dost ho ya dusman raam ji
man me lagan jagaayi
tan me agan lagaayi, phir de di judaayi
tum dost ho ya dusman raam ji
tum dost ho ya dusman raam ji
ho raama ho ho, ho raama ho

kab tak main sahu ye sitam
kab tak chup rahu
kab tak aansuo ki
nadi banake main bahun
kab tak main sahu ye sitam
kab tak chup rahu

o raama ho ho, o raama ho ho
kaahe preet badhaayi
de di ye tanhaayi, tohe laaj na aai
tum dost ho ya dusman raam ji
tum dost ho ya dusman raam ji

mandir me tumhaare, jhilmilaate hai diye
gum ke andhere me, koi ghut ghut ke jiye
mandir me tumhaare, jhilmilaate hai diye

ho raama ho ho, ho raama ho
achchhi preet nibhaayi
aisi ki hasjagaayi, aankhen uth na paayi
tum dost ho ya dusman raam ji
tum dost ho ya dusman raam ji
man me lagan jagaayi
tan me agan lagaayi, phir de di judaayi
tum dost ho ya dusman raam ji

o raama ho ho, o raama ho ho
o raama ho ho, o raama ho ho
o raama ho ho, o raama ho ho

Oh Rama, ho ho, Oh Rama, ho ho,
You ignited longing in my heart,
Kindled a fire within my frame, then offered separation's art.
Are you friend or foe, O Ram, my God?
Are you friend or foe, O Ram, my God?
You ignited longing in my heart,
Kindled a fire within my frame, then offered separation's art.
Are you friend or foe, O Ram, my God?
Are you friend or foe, O Ram, my God?
Oh Rama, ho ho, Oh Rama, ho ho,

How long must I endure this plight?
How long remain in silent night?
How long must I, a river of tears,
Flow endlessly through passing years?
How long must I endure this plight?
How long remain in silent night?
How long must I, a river of tears,
Flow endlessly through passing years?
Oh Rama, ho ho, Oh Rama, ho ho,
Why did you awaken love's desire?
Then gift this solitude, consume me with fire?
Did shame not touch your divine eye?
Are you friend or foe, O Ram, my God?
Are you friend or foe, O Ram, my God?

Within your temple, lamps they gleam,
While in sorrow's dark, souls do scream.
Within your temple, lamps they gleam,
While in sorrow's dark, souls do scream.
Oh Rama, ho ho, Oh Rama, ho ho,
This love you gave, a cruel embrace,
Leaving me only tears to trace,
Eyes cast down, no strength to rise.
Are you friend or foe, O Ram, my God?
Are you friend or foe, O Ram, my God?
You ignited longing in my heart,
Kindled a fire within my frame, then offered separation's art.
Are you friend or foe, O Ram, my God?
Are you friend or foe, O Ram, my God?
Oh Rama, ho ho, Oh Rama, ho ho,
Oh Rama, ho ho, Oh Rama, ho ho,
Oh Rama, ho ho, Oh Rama, ho ho.
