hamare manorath pure karna, raghupati raghaw raja ram
raghupati raghaw raja ram
tum chaho to pal bhar me, ban jaye apne bigde kam
raghupati raghaw raja ram, raghupati raghaw raja ram
raghuwar ke gun gawe re, hum raghuwar ke gun gawe re
raghuwar ke gun gawe re, hum raghuwar ke gun gawe re
hum raghuwar ke gun gawe re
bolo siyapati ram chandar ki jai

sone ke hiran ki piche gaye, kyu ram abhi tak aaye nahi
nari ka man komal thahra, sita ji ghabraye gayi
shri ram ki khoj lene, jab pada lakshman ko jana
khutiya ke charo or, ek ghera sa khicha anjana
nat math kiya fir sita se, tum iske bahar mat jana
tum iske bahar mat jana
raghuwar ke gun gawe re, hum raghuwar ke gun gawe re
ho raghuwar ke gun gawe re, hum raghuwar ke gun gawe re
hum raghuwar ke gun gawe re

rawan chatur khiladi, aaya ban ke bikhari
aaya ban ke bikhari
bola biksha de de mayi, sita ji ko daya aayi
sita ji ko daya aayi
ho jo tha ghar me leke aayi, kaha aage aao sai
kaha aage aao sai
rawan bola bahar aao, sadhu se kahe sharmao
sita bahkawe me aayi, ghera choda bahar aayi
ghera choda bahar aayi
rawan ne unko uthaya, jabran kandhe pe bithaya
jabran kandhe pe bithaya
lekar chala samundar par, sita rowe jar jar
rowe jungle or pahad, rowe jungle or pahad
sunke uka ha ha kar, sunke uka ha ha kar
sunke uka ha ha kar
raghuwar ke gun gawe re, hum raghuwar ke gun gawe re
ho raghuwar ke gun gawe re, hum raghuwar ke gun gawe re
hum raghuwar ke gun gawe re

jo koi har parai sita, uska hoke rahe fazita
ram ne ki lanka pe chadai, khud hui ghamsan ladai
idhar ram lakshman hanuman, udhar khada rawan shaitan
murkh raksash tu jidd mat kar, ab bhi kahna man mera
teri had ne o had dharmi, maut ka hai saman kiya
teri maut ka hai saman kiya
mere ek ban ke chut te hi, niklenge tere pran abhi
niklenge tere pran abhi
tere daso shish is dharti pe, ludhkenge gend saman abhi
ludhkenge gend saman abhi
raghuwar ke gun gawe re, hum raghuwar ke gun gawe re
ho raghuwar ke gun gawe re, hum raghuwar ke gun gawe re
hum raghuwar ke gun gawe re

raghuwar ke gun gawe re, hum raghuwar ke gun gawe re
ho raghuwar ke gun gawe re, hum raghuwar ke gun gawe re
hum raghuwar ke gun gawe re

Guide our desires, O King of Kings, Rama,
Rama, the sovereign, Rama.
If You will it, in a heartbeat,
Our fractured works will mend and bloom,
Rama, the sovereign, Rama,
Rama, the sovereign, Rama.

Sing the virtues of the Lord of Raghu,
We sing the virtues of the Lord of Raghu.
Sing the virtues,
We sing the virtues,

Glory to Sita's Lord, Ramachandra!

Chasing gold, why lingers Ram?
Still, he has not returned.
A woman's heart, a tender thing,
Sita’s fear took root and grew.
To seek for Ram, Lakshman was called,
And drew a circle, unknown, complete.
Bowing low, he spoke to Sita,
"Do not venture past this line."
Do not venture past this line.

Sing the virtues of the Lord of Raghu,
We sing the virtues of the Lord of Raghu.
Sing the virtues,
We sing the virtues,
We sing the virtues.

Ravana, the cunning player, came as a beggar,
Came as a beggar.
He begged for alms, O Mother,
Sita's heart filled with compassion,
Sita's heart filled with compassion.
She brought forth what she had within,
"Come closer, holy one," she said.
"Come closer, holy one."
Ravana said, "Step outside, you shame a holy man,"
Sita, misled, stepped forth,
Left the circle, stepped outside.
He seized her, lifted her,
Forcibly upon his shoulder set.
Forcibly upon his shoulder set.
He carried her towards the sea,
Sita wept a bitter stream,
The forest and the mountains wept,
The forest and the mountains wept,
At the sound of her cries,
At the sound of her cries,
At the sound of her cries.

Sing the virtues of the Lord of Raghu,
We sing the virtues of the Lord of Raghu.
Sing the virtues,
We sing the virtues,
We sing the virtues.

He who steals another's Sita,
For him, ruin is his fate.
Ram marched on Lanka,
A battle raged, a fearsome fight.
Here Ram, Lakshman, Hanuman,
There stood Ravana, demon-spawn.
Foolish protector, cease your stubbornness,
Even now, heed my words,
Your actions, O obstinate one,
Have brought you to the edge of death,
Have brought you to the edge of death.
With a single arrow's flight from me,
Your life will cease to be,
Your life will cease to be.
Your ten heads upon this earth,
Will roll like balls in play,
Will roll like balls in play.

Sing the virtues of the Lord of Raghu,
We sing the virtues of the Lord of Raghu.
Sing the virtues,
We sing the virtues,
We sing the virtues.

Sing the virtues of the Lord of Raghu,
We sing the virtues of the Lord of Raghu.
Sing the virtues,
We sing the virtues,
We sing the virtues.
