My name, Ram, a traveler known, yours, Sayani Bai, wise and deep,
My name, Ram, a journey's echo, yours, Sayani Bai, secrets to keep.
These faces gathered, a tapestry of woes, do you know them well?
Do you recognize them, the silent stories they tell?
I recognize, I recognize the burdens they bear.
What is the source of their sorrow, the weight they have to share?
Do you know their suffering, the tears that they cry?
I know, I know, reflected in the endless sky.
You will speak the truth, you will help them to understand,
So tell me, Ram, the wandering, and Sayani, the knowing hand.
