Lyrics –

Racha swayamvar janak suta ka bhoop anekan aaye
(Many suitors have arrived for Goddess Sita at King Janak’s palace)

Til bhar dhanush sakaye nahin taare
(Alas! None of them could move the bow, not even a little bit)

Khade hue sarmaaye
(They were all greeted by shame)

Raghupati man hee man muskaaye hain awadh ke laana
(Lord Ram smiles, looking at their failed attempts)

He Awadh ke lalna
(Oh Lord of Awadh!)

Aaj mithilapur mein aaye hain Awadh ke laalna
(Awadh’s beloved has arrived at Mithilapuri, Oh Lord)

Sabha ki halat dekh ke Raja ati dil mein ghabraaye
(Looking at the best of warriors return no success, King Janak’s fear is rising)

Dharti Khaali hai veeron se dhanua kaun uthaaye
(None of the great warriors could pick up the bow)

Tab tak Lakshman bain sunaaye hain Awadh ke laalna
(Looking at a worried King Janak, Lakshman announced)

He Awadh ke lalna
(Oh Lord of Awadh!)

Aaj mithilapur mein aaye hain Awadh ke laalna
(Awadh’s beloved has arrived at Mithilapuri, Oh Lord)
