kahe paap kamaye re bande
kuch bhi kaam na aayega
todd ke tan ka pinjara ek din
man panchi udd jayega
udd jayega udd jayegav ye panchi udd jayega
kahe paap kamaye re bande
raam bolo re bhaiya raam bolo

takt taaj ye raaj paat
kuch bhi to jata sath nahi
rok sake udhate panchi ko
ye bhi to kisi ke hath nahi
bhai ye bhi to kisi ke hath nahi
lakh laga le pehre fir bhi
lakh laga le pehre fir bhi jor nahi chal payega
todd ke tan ka pinjara ek din man panchi udd jayega
kahe paap kamaye re bande
raam bolo re bhaiya raam bolo

kya kya soche sochne wala
par kya kuch ho jata hai par kya kuch ho jata hai
jane wala hath na aata aisa kahi kho jata hai
aisa kahi kho jata hai ek baar jo tara tuta
ek baar jo tara tuta fir vo najar na aayega
todd ke tan ka pinjara ek din
man panchi udd jayega
kahe paap kamaye re bande
raam bolo re bhaiya raam bolo
ha raam bolo re bhaiya raam bolo

na teri na meri duniya
na gore na kale ki bhai na gore na kale ki
yaha chali hai yaha chalegi marji upar wale ki
bhai marji upar wale ki bura bhala jaisa bhi karega
bura bhala jaisa bhi karega vaisa hi phal payega
todd ke tan ka pinjara ek din
man panchi udd jayega
udd jayega udd jayegav ye panchi udd jayega
kahe paap kamaye re bande
raam bolo re bhaiya raam bolo
ye panchi udd jayega
ha raam bolo re bhaiya raam bolo
ye panchi udd jayega
raam bolo re bhaiya raam bolo

Why sow sins, O mortal,
For nothing shall remain,
When the cage of flesh is shattered,
The soul-bird takes to the plain,
Takes to the plain, it will take to the plain, the soul-bird takes to the plain.
Why sow sins, O mortal,
Chant the name of Ram, brothers, chant the name of Ram.

Thrones and crowns, these realms of power,
None shall accompany thee,
None can halt the soaring spirit,
This too is not in decree,
No, this is not in decree.
Though you may build a thousand walls,
Though you may build a thousand walls, no force can hold its sway,
When the cage of flesh is shattered, the soul-bird takes its way.
Why sow sins, O mortal,
Chant the name of Ram, brothers, chant the name of Ram.

What plans the thinker weaves,
But what is brought to pass?
The departed cannot be grasped,
Lost in a shadowed mass,
Lost in a shadowed mass.
Once a star has fallen,
Once a star has fallen, it shall never reappear,
When the cage of flesh is shattered, the soul-bird leaves us here.
Why sow sins, O mortal,
Chant the name of Ram, brothers, chant the name of Ram.
Yes, chant the name of Ram, brothers, chant the name of Ram.

Neither yours, nor mine, this world,
Neither white nor black, friends, no, neither white nor black,
Here runs, here shall run,
The will of the One from above,
Yes, the will of the One from above.
Evil or good, as you shall sow,
Evil or good, as you shall sow, the fruits you shall receive,
When the cage of flesh is shattered, the soul-bird takes to leave.
Takes to the plain, it will take to the plain, the soul-bird takes to the plain.
Why sow sins, O mortal,
Chant the name of Ram, brothers, chant the name of Ram.
The soul-bird takes to the plain.
Yes, chant the name of Ram, brothers, chant the name of Ram.
The soul-bird takes to the plain.
Chant the name of Ram, brothers, chant the name of Ram.
