are mera nam chalta ram tera nam sayani bai
mera nam chalta ram tera nam sayani bai
ye log jo yaha pe jama inko pahchanti hai
pahchanti hu pahchanti hu
inke dukho ka karan kya hai
tu janti hai janti hu janti hu
batlayegi jarur samjhayegi jarur
to kahe ye chalta ram sayani bai

My name, Ram, a traveler's echo,
Yours, Sayani Bai, a whispered glow.
My name, Ram, a pilgrim's weary tread,
Yours, Sayani Bai, where truths are bred.

These souls assembled, a gathered throng,
Do you know them? Where do they belong?
I know them, I know them, I truly see,
The shadowed source of their misery.

Do you know the why? The heavy ache?
I know, I know, my heart will break.
Then speak, explain, with gentle hand,
This journey's truth, across the land.
Then tell, this Ram, and you, Sayani Bai,
How to live, before we die.
