pativarta sitamai ko tune diya banwas
kyu na fata dharti ka kaleja, kyu na fata aakash
zulm sahe bhari janak dulari, zulm sahe bhari janak dulari
janak dulari ram ki pyari, phire mari mari janak dulari
phire mari mari janak dulari, zulm sahe bhari janak dulari
zulm sahe bhari janak dulari, gagan mahal ka raja dekho
kaisa khel dikhaye kaisa khel dikhaye

o o gagan mahal ka raja dekho, kaisa khel dikhaye
kaisa khel dikhaye, ship se moti gande jal me
sundar kamal khilaye, khilaye sundar kamal khilaye
ajab teri lila hai girdhari, ajab teri lila hai girdhari
ajab teri lila hai girdhari, ajab teri lila hai girdhari
ajab teri lila hai girdhari, ajab teri lila hai girdhari
ajab teri lila hai girdhari, ajab teri lila hai girdhari
ajab teri lila hai girdhari, ajab teri lila hai girdhari
ajab teri lila hai girdhari, ajab teri lila hai girdhari

You banished Sita, the devoted wife,
To a wilderness of grief and strife.
Why did the earth not split in two,
Nor the heavens collapse in view?

The daughter of Janak bore such pain,
Janak's beloved, again, again.
Ram's darling wandered, lost and torn,
Janak's daughter, forlorn, forlorn.
Janak's daughter, bearing the brunt,
The King of Heaven, in his hunt.
He unveils a game, a cruel display,
He unveils a game, come what may.

Oh, King of Heaven, what a guise,
What a game before our eyes!
He plumbs a pearl from muddy deep,
And makes the lotus secrets keep.
What a wonder is Your sacred play,
What a wonder in every way.
What a wonder, in every guise,
What a wonder before our eyes.
What a wonder, in every guise,
What a wonder before our eyes.
What a wonder, in every guise,
What a wonder before our eyes.
What a wonder, in every guise,
What a wonder before our eyes.
