raam naam dhan paya maine
raam naam dhan paya
na main tirath karne nikali
na main barham rijhaya
raam naam dhan aap simat kar
more ghar mein aaya

na main ae ganga gayi nahane
na main shankh bajaya
janam janam ki kismat jagi
man mein raam samaya

duja dhan hai aana jaana
chalti firti chhaya
raam naam dhan ghatatghate nahi
dam-dam hinth samaya

I have found the wealth of Rama's name,
I have found it true.
No pilgrimage did I seek,
No Brahman did I woo.
The wealth of Rama, drawn to me,
Came home, and stayed anew.

No Ganges did I bathe within,
No conch did I now blow.
The fortune of a thousand lives,
In my heart did overflow.
Rama entered then, within my soul,
And set my spirit aglow.

Other wealth, a fleeting dance,
A shadow on the way.
The wealth of Rama, never fades,
It rests upon my sway.
With every breath, with every sigh,
His name, my lips now say.
