rawan ki lanka mai sona rawan ki lanka mai sona
avadhpuri mai dhul sone mai kata upjaage
sone mai kata upjaage
dhul mai upja dhul kaho ji kon bada hai
ram ram ram raja ram sita ram
ram ram ram raja ram sita ram
parnari ko mata samjhe parnari ko mata samjhe
sab pradhi ka naal ravan chardhadi ke karan bhula apni chaal
ek jivan hai ek maut hai ek jivan hai ek maut hai
ek thalgati dhan kaho ji kon bada hai
ram ram ram raja ram sita ram
ram ram ram raja ram sita ram

ram or ravan ek rashi ram or ravan ek rashi
pandit kare vichaar jo rashi majhdaar juba de
wahi laga de paar
tum hi bata do in dono mai tum hi bata do in dono mai
kon sa taran haar kaho ji kon bada hai
ram ram ram raja ram sita ram
ram ram ram raja ram sita ram

ravan ki lanka mai sona
avadhpuri mai dhul sone mai kaata upjaage
dhul mai upja dhul kaho ji kon bada hai
ram ram ram raja ram sita ram

In Lanka, gold, in Lanka, gold it gleams,
In Ayodhya, dust, where gold cannot seize,
Where thorns arise, in golden dreams,
From dust, dust springs, which is greater, please?
Ram, Ram, Ram, King Ram, Sita Ram,
Ram, Ram, Ram, King Ram, Sita Ram.

To see all women as a mother's grace,
But lust did blind, Ravana's fall begun,
He forgot his way, lost in this place,
One life, then death, life's course is run,
One burning pyre, which is greater, please?
Ram, Ram, Ram, King Ram, Sita Ram,
Ram, Ram, Ram, King Ram, Sita Ram.

Ram and Ravana, bound by fate's design,
The scholar ponders, on the tide of the time,
The soul's river, to cross the line,
Tell me now, in this paradigm,
Which one is the savior, which is greater, please?
Ram, Ram, Ram, King Ram, Sita Ram,
Ram, Ram, Ram, King Ram, Sita Ram.

In Lanka, gold, in Lanka, gold it gleams,
In Ayodhya, dust, where gold cannot seize,
Where thorns arise, in golden dreams,
From dust, dust springs, which is greater, please?
Ram, Ram, Ram, King Ram, Sita Ram,
Ram, Ram, Ram, King Ram, Sita Ram,
Ram, Ram, Ram, King Ram, Sita Ram,
Ram, Ram, Ram, King Ram, Sita Ram.
