chola maati ke ram
ekar ka bharosa, chola maati ke re
chola maati ke ho chola maati ke ram
ekar ka bharosa, chola maati ke re
haye chola maati ke ram
ekar ka bharosa, chola maati ke re

dona jaise guru chalege, kaaran jaise daahik
sangai kaaran jaise daani
bali jaise beer chalege, raavan jas abhimani
chola maati ke ram
ekar ka bharosa, chola maati ke re

kono rees nah, kono rahaye bahiya hi sab ke paarik
ik din aayi sab pe paari
kaal ko nola chhode naahi, raja rank bikhari
chola maati ke ram
ekar ka bharosa, chola maati ke re

bause paal lagey barahe the, hari ke naam sumarle
sangi hare ke naam sumarle
aye duniya maaya ke re pagla, jeevan mukti kar le
chola maati ke ram
ekar ka bharosa, chola maati ke re
chola maati ke ho haye chola maati ke ram
ekar ka bharosa, chola maati ke re
chola maati ke ram
ekar ka bharosa, chola maati ke re
haye chola maati ke ram
ekar ka bharosa, chola maati ke re
ekar ka bharosa, chola maati ke re
ekar ka bharosa, chola maati ke re

A cloak of earth, O Ram,
what faith to hold, in earth's embrace,
a cloak of earth, O Ram,
what faith to hold, in earth's embrace,
ah, a cloak of earth, O Ram,
what faith to hold, in earth's embrace.

Like a guru, a leaf-cup will fade,
like embers, the pyre's hold,
a companion, like charity's hand,
like a valiant warrior, a husk will be,
like Ravana, ego's shadow,
a cloak of earth, O Ram,
what faith to hold, in earth's embrace.

No anger, no resentment,
flow on, embrace all,
a turn will come to all,
time leaves none untouched,
king, beggar, all the same,
a cloak of earth, O Ram,
what faith to hold, in earth's embrace.

When the ship of breath begins to row,
remember Hari's name,
a companion, remember Hari's name,
this world, a veil of illusion,
seek liberation in life's breath,
a cloak of earth, O Ram,
what faith to hold, in earth's embrace,
a cloak of earth, ah, a cloak of earth, O Ram,
what faith to hold, in earth's embrace,
a cloak of earth, O Ram,
Ram, what faith to hold, in earth's embrace,
ah, a cloak of earth, O Ram,
what faith to hold, in earth's embrace,
what faith to hold, in earth's embrace,
what faith to hold, in earth's embrace.
