haye ram
jisne dekha wo bola ye bijli hai ya shola
samjha na koi mujhe, mar gayi rama
jisne dekha wo bola ye bijli hai ya shola
samjha na koi mujhe, mar gayi rama
jisne dekha wo bola ye bijli hai ya shola

nashe ka jaam hai tu, hasi gulfam hai tu
nashe ka jaam hai tu, hasi gulfam hai tu
aaj ki raat raja
aaj ki raat raja mera mehman hai tu
mera mehman hai tu hoye
meri najro ne taula tu to hai balma bhola
samjha na koi mujhe, mar gayi rama
jisne dekha wo bola ye bijli hai ya shola

Oh, Ram,

They saw a lightning, a burning ember, they claimed,
Yet none understood, Rama, my soul is slain.
They saw a lightning, a burning ember, they claimed,
Yet none understood, Rama, my soul is slain.
They saw a lightning, a burning ember, they claimed.

You, a goblet of rapture, a beautiful bloom,
You, a goblet of rapture, a beautiful bloom,
Tonight, my King,
Tonight, my King, my guest in my room,
My guest in my room, oh.
My gaze weighed you, yet you’re an innocent dove,
Yet none understood, Rama, my soul is slain.
They saw a lightning, a burning ember, they claimed.
