Dukh door kar hamaaraa sansaar ke rachaiyaa
Jaldee se do saharaa majhdhaar mè hai naiyaa.
Tujh bin koee hamaaraa, rakshak nahee yahaa par
Ḍhoonḍhaa jahaan saaraa, tum saa nahee rakhaiyaa
Duniyaa mè khoob dekhaa, ààkhe pasaar karke
Saathee nahee hamaaraa màà baap aur bhaiyaa
Sukh ke sabhee hài saathee, duniyaa ke mitra saare
Teraa hee naam pyaaraa, dukh-dard ke bachaiyaa
Duniyaa mè phàs ke hamko, haasil huvaa na kuchha bhee
Tere binaa hamaaraa, koee nahee sunaiyaa
Charo taraf se ham par, gam kee ghaṭaa hai chhaee
Sukh kaa karo ujaalaa, prakaash ke karaiyaa
Achhaa-buraa hai jaisaa, raajee me ‘raam’ rahataa
Cheraa hai ye tumhaaraa, sudhi le-u sudh levaiyaa
Send away all our pains, O creator of the world. May you give us help quickly for our boat is caught in the current of sin.
Without you, no one is here to become our protector. We have looked all over, no one can compare to you.
We have observed with full attention how the world operates. And we have concluded that neither mother, father or brother proves to be a true friend.
In times of pleasure, everyone is my friend nay, the whole world comes to my side to befriend me. But in times of distress, it is only the remembrance of Your name that soothes me and befriends me.
We are entangled in this world and have had no fruit of our labor. Without You, there is no one to listen to our tales of woe.
On all sides, the dark clouds of problem and distress have surrounded us. Bring to us the light of bliss, O Enlightener.
Whether it is good or bad around you, live your life like a Raama. Give your best.
