Raghupati Raghav Raja Ram lyrics in English with translation
Updated: Nov 1, 2021
Raghupati Raghava Raja Ram Patita Pavana Sitaram (x2)
Praise King Ram, Lord of the Raghu dynasty
Praise Sita Ram, who purify even the sinners
Sitaram, Sitaram, Bhaj Pyare Tu Sitaram
Lovingly recite Sitaram Raghupati Raghava Raja Ram
Patita Pavana Sitaram (x2)
Ishwar Allah Tero Nam, Sabako Sanmati De Bhagawan
Also known as Ishwar (God) or Allah
May He give everyone nobel thoughts Raghupati Raghava Raja Ram Patita Pavana Sitaram (x2)
Mukhmen Tulsi, Ghatamen Ram, Jab Bolo Tab Sitaram
In your mouth is the Tulsi (holy plant) leaf, you body is filled with Ram's name
At every opportunity chant Sita Ram Raghupati Raghava Raja Ram Patita Pavana Sitaram (x2)
Hathose Karo Gharka Kam, Mukhase Bolo Sitaram
While doing household chores
Recite Sita Ram Raghupati Raghava Raja Ram Patita Pavana Sitaram (x2)
Kaushalyaka Vhala Ram, Dashrathjika Pyara Ram
Ram who is the darling of Mother Kaushalya
Ram the favourite of King Dasharath
Raghupati Raghava Raja Ram Patita Pavana Sitaram (x2)
Bansivala Hay Ghanshyam, Dhanushya Dhari Sitaram Ghanshyam (Krishna) who plays the flute
Lord Rama who carries a bow
Raghupati Raghava Raja Ram Patita Pavana Sitaram (x2)
Ratre nindra divase kam,
Kyare bhajaso Sitaram
At night we rest and work during the day
In between since Sitaram
Raghupati Raghava Raja Ram Patita Pavana Sitaram (x2)
With Diwali fast approaching I wanted to share one of the first Ram bhajans that I was taught as a child. It was popularised by Mahatma Gandhi and sings the praises of Lord Rama. I have translated the meaning of Raghupati Raghava in English for children so you will find it to be a simplified explanation.
