raam
chalta chal chalta chal
o dhup ho chhanw ho
dur terea gaon ho, chahe thake panw ho
chalta chal tu chalta chal

ye ful aur ye kante, maliq ne barabr bante
fulo ka bag lagana to, kanto se bhi na tal
ram, chalta chal chalta chal
o dhup ho chhanw ho

mat mang dya ki bhikh
ye teri agni pariksha
is jag ivan ki jwala me
tu kundan ban ke nikal
chalta chal
o dhup ho chhanw ho
chahe thake panw ho
chalta chal tu chalta chal

mat kho ankhiyan ke moti
sach ki chamkegi jyoti
hardam suraj ko dhak na saka
udta firta baadal
chalta chal
o dhup ho chhanw ho
chalta chal
dur tera gaon ho, chahe thake panw ho
chalta chal tu chalta chal
chalta chal tu chalta chal
chalta chal tu chalta chal
chalta chal tu chalta chal

Walk on, Ram, walk on, walk on,
Whether sun or shadow falls.
Though your village waits afar,
Though your weary foot now stalls,
Walk on, walk on, walk on.

These blooms and thorns, the Master's hand,
Equal measure, knows no greed.
To plant a garden, flowers bright,
From thorns, no turning you must heed.
Ram, walk on, walk on, walk on,
Whether sun or shadow waits.

Do not beg for pity's dole,
This is the fire that refines your soul.
In this world's consuming flame,
A golden form, you will make whole.
Walk on.
Whether sun or shadow waits.
Though your weary foot now stalls,
Walk on, walk on, walk on.

Do not lose the pearls of sight,
Truth's own radiance will ignite.
The sun, forever, cannot hide,
The fleeting cloud in endless flight.
Walk on.
Whether sun or shadow waits.
Walk on.
Though your village waits afar,
Though your weary foot now stalls,
Walk on, walk on, walk on.
Walk on, walk on, walk on.
Walk on, walk on, walk on.
Walk on, walk on, walk on.
