sonewale nind se jage upar niche pichhe aage
dar ke bhage chor jhume nache gaye jashan manaye
kuch aisa kare kaisa aisa chal aage
hey rama re hey rama re rama re rama
hey rama re hey rama re

jo tadviro se gir jaye wo takdire nahi hoti
badalti jo na takdire wo tadvire nahi hoti
rihai ka mausam ahed kar lete hai jab kaidi
dubara mad sitamgaaro ki janjire nahi hoti
ha janjire to tute tute na chahat ke dhage
hey rama re hey rama re rama re rama
hey rama re hey rama re

mohabbat me nigaho se juba ka kam lete hai
ye dil ki baat aur ispe takrire nahi hoti
tere didar se jaanam tasavur tera behtar hai
ki itni be murawat teri tasvire nahi hoti
aaja raja tere bina jiya nahi lage
hey rama re hey rama re rama re rama
hey rama re rama re hey rama re

sonewale nind se jage upar niche pichhe aage
dar ke bhage chor jhume nache gaye jashan manaye
kuch aisa kare kaisa aisa chal aage
hey rama re rama re hey rama re rama re rama
hey rama re rama re hey rama re hey rama re
rama re rama hey rama re

From slumber's hold, awaken, rise,
Above, below, behind, before your eyes.
Fear's shadows flee, the thieves now dance,
A joyful revel, a vibrant trance.
Do what you must, embrace the way,
Move forward now, come what may.
Oh, Rama, Rama, hear my plea,
Oh, Rama, Rama, set me free.

What falls from plans, fate does not decree,
And fates unyielding, plans cannot be.
When prisoners vow to break their chains,
No cruel torment, no lingering pains.
Let chains not break, nor love's threads tear,
Oh, Rama, Rama, banish fear.
Oh, Rama, Rama, hear my plea,
Oh, Rama, Rama, set me free.

In love's embrace, eyes speak the tongue,
Heart's language shared, though words are unsung.
Your face, my love, a vision bright,
Than painted portraits, more of light.
Without you, King, my life won't mend,
Oh, Rama, Rama, until the end.
Oh, Rama, Rama, hear my plea,
Oh, Rama, Rama, set me free.

From slumber's hold, awaken, rise,
Above, below, behind, before your eyes.
Fear's shadows flee, the thieves now dance,
A joyful revel, a vibrant trance.
Do what you must, embrace the way,
Move forward now, come what may.
Oh, Rama, Rama, hear my plea,
Oh, Rama, Rama, set me free.
Oh, Rama, Rama, hear my plea,
Oh, Rama, Rama, set me free.
Rama, Rama, oh, Rama, Rama, hear my plea.
