tujhe ram kahu ya sham kahu
ishwar kahu ya allah
tujhe ram kahu ya sham kahu
ishwar kahu ya allah
tu jaanta mujhe kya chahiye
tu jaanta mujhe kya chahiye
pasara hai maine palla
tujhe ram kahu ya sham kahu
ishwar kahu ya allah
tujhe ram kahu ya sham kahu
ishwar kahu ya allah

dharti pe jab jab badha paap tab tab
logo ne di hai duhai
tumne mitakar anyay jag se
prem ki jyot jagai
nanak kahe mahaveer kahe
jhule laal kabhi, kabhi sai
jitne hi naam tere utne hi dham
par sab me hai ek parchhayi
suraj chanda taare dipak
sab me tera ujiyara
tujhe ram kahu ya sham kahu
ishwar kahu ya allah

aasha ka dipak jalaye huye
aandhi ise na bujha de
tere bharose pe chhodi hai naiya
dubo de ya paar laga de
hum ye na jane bhala kya bura kya
kya paap hai punay kya hai
hai kaun kya, kiske dil me hai kya
ae maalik tu sab jaanta hai
antaryami jag ke swami
humko tera hi sahara
tujhe ram kahu ya sham kahu
ishwar kahu ya allah
tu jaanta mujhe kya chahiye
tu jaanta mujhe kya chahiye
pasara hai maine palla
tujhe ram kahu ya sham kahu
ishwar kahu ya allah
tujhe ram kahu ya sham kahu
ishwar kahu ya allah
tujhe ram kahu ya sham kahu
ishwar kahu ya allah
tujhe ram kahu ya sham kahu
ishwar kahu ya allah

Ah, ah, ah, oh, oh…
Shall I call you Ram, or Shyam?
God, or Allah?
Shall I call you Ram, or Shyam?
God, or Allah?
You know what I need,
You know what I need,
I have spread my arms to you.
Shall I call you Ram, or Shyam?
God, or Allah?
Shall I call you Ram, or Shyam?
God, or Allah?

When sin swelled on earth, again and again,
People cried out in despair.
You erased injustice from the world,
Igniting the flame of love.
Nanak speaks, Mahavir speaks,
Jhulelal, sometimes, Sai.
As many names as you have, as many abodes,
Yet in all, one shadow.
The sun, the moon, the stars, the lamps,
In all, your light shines.
Shall I call you Ram, or Shyam?
God, or Allah?

Holding the lamp of hope alight,
May the storm not extinguish it.
On your trust, I’ve left my boat,
Drown it, or bring it to shore.
I don't know what is good or bad,
What is sin, what is virtue.
Who is what, what is in whose heart?
Oh Master, you know it all.
Inner dweller, Lord of the world,
We have only your support.
Shall I call you Ram, or Shyam?
God, or Allah?
You know what I need,
You know what I need,
I have spread my arms to you.
Shall I call you Ram, or Shyam?
God, or Allah?
Shall I call you Ram, or Shyam?
God, or Allah?
Shall I call you Ram, or Shyam?
God, or Allah?
Shall I call you Ram, or Shyam?
God, or Allah?
