sarayu ke neere teere avadh nagariyaa
sarayu ke neere teere avadh nagariyaa
jahaa base raam lakhan dono bhiyaa
jahaa base raam

jaake dhanush shiv ji ka toda
vedehi se raam naata joda
mil gayi chandr chakor ki jodi
mil gayi chandr chakor ki jodi
avadhpuri me baaje re badhaiyaa
jahaa base raam lakhan dono bhiyaa
jahaa base raam

jogi ka bhesh leke paapi raavan aaya
chhaliya ke chhal se sita haran huaa
kutiyaa se jaise baahar pag nikale
fansi re dali leke jaal me chiraiyaa
jahaa base raam lakhan dono bhiyaa
jahaa base raam

raamchandr ko chain na aaye
siyaa ke viyog pal pal tadpaawe
kahat sita sita chali birahani gali
raam raghuraiyaa
jahaa base raam lakhan dono bhiyaa
jahaa base raam
sarayu ke neere teere avadh nagariyaa
jahaa base raam lakhan dono bhiyaa
jahaa base raam

path me veer pawan sut aaye
raam ke dukh me hath bataaye
khoke raam nindra aur bhukh
chal lanka ? ravan kar daale
ek lakh pote sawa lakh naati
us ravan ke deeya na baati
kaise deeye me tel, tel me jale
prem ki baati
waise siya me raam, raam me basi
siya din raati
kya pina praan ke jag me koi
apni deh rakh pata
kya yahi ram ka raaj
kya yahi ram ka raaj
jaha hai nahi vo seeta mata
kaha hai sati vo seeta mata
kaha hai sati vo seeta mata
kaha hai sati vo seeta mata

By the Saryu's tranquil flow, Avadh's city sleeps,
By the Saryu's flow, Avadh's city weeps.
Where Ram and Lakshman dwell, brothers of light,
Where Ram resides, a star in the night.

He shattered Shiva's bow, a feat of might,
And wove with Vaidehi a bond of purest light.
Like moon and chakor, a couple meant to be,
In Avadh's heart, joy's symphony.
Where Ram and Lakshman dwell, brothers of light,
Where Ram resides, a star in the night.

A yogi's guise, a wicked Ravana crept,
By deceit's dark trick, Sita was swept.
From her hut's threshold, a fateful stride,
Like a bird ensnared, caught in a tide.
Where Ram and Lakshman dwell, brothers of light,
Where Ram resides, a star in the night.

Ramchandra's heart found no solace, no ease,
Sita's absence, a torment that wouldn't cease.
"Sita, Sita," he cried in the desolate street,
Ram, the Raghuvanshi, his sorrow to meet.
Where Ram and Lakshman dwell, brothers of light,
Where Ram resides, a star in the night.
By the Saryu's tranquil flow, Avadh's city sleeps,
Where Ram and Lakshman dwell, brothers of light,
Where Ram resides, a star in the night.

Hanuman, the brave, on the path did appear,
To ease Ram's burden, to conquer all fear.
Forsaking sleep, and hunger's hold,
To Lanka he went, a story to be told.
A hundred thousand grandsons, and a million great-grandsons he knew,
Yet for Ravana, no lamp would ever burn true.
No oil for the flame, no wick to ignite,
Only a flame of love to take flight.
Like Sita in Ram, and Ram in Sita resides,
Day and night, their love abides.
Can a world without breath truly thrive?
This is Ram's kingdom, can it survive?
Where Sita, the blessed, is no more,
Where is Sati Sita, forevermore?
Where is Sati Sita, forevermore?
Where is Sati Sita, forevermore?
