ram aayodhya chhod chale
chhod chale chhod chale
ram aayodhya chhod chale chhod chale
ram aayodhya chhod chale chhod chale
vanvasi ban raj dulare
sabse nata tod chale
ram aayodhya chhod chale

balak budhe nar nari ko ram sisakta chhod chale
balak budhe nar nari ko ram sisakta chhod chale
maya mamta aur mahal se apna nata tod chale
ram aayodhya chhod chale chhod chale

jaise pinjre ke panchhi ki buri dasha ho jati hai
dashrath ke jivan ki waise pran jyoti akhlati hai
ram aayodhya chhod chale chhod chale
sath siya ke aur lakhan ke
chhod chale chhod chale chhod chale

Ram departs Ayodhya,
Departing, departing.
Ram departs Ayodhya, departing, departing,
Ram departs Ayodhya, departing, departing.
A forest dweller, a prince beloved,
Severing ties with all,
Ram departs Ayodhya, departing, departing.

Children, elders, men and women,
Ram leaves weeping,
Children, elders, men and women,
Ram leaves weeping.
From illusion, from love, from the palace,
He breaks his bond,
Ram departs Ayodhya, departing, departing.

Like a caged bird's wretched plight,
So the life's flame of Dasharatha flickers and fades.
Ram departs Ayodhya, departing, departing,
With Sita and Lakshman he leaves,
Departing, departing, departing, departing.
