Lyrics –

Areey man bairaagi bhaila hey Rama basna Chitrakoot mein
(Mind is being very recluse, Oh Ram, please stay in Chitrakoot)

Areey wahi Chitrakootwa mein haye dui go vrikshya
(The Chitrakoot, which has two trees)

Areey ek mahua ek aam, basna Chitrakoot mein
(One of Mahua and the other, Mango, please stay in Chitrakoot)

Areey kaise ka chinhala tu hayi mahua ho vrikshya?
(How would you recognise the Mahua tree?)

Areey kaise ka chinhala aamwa, basna Chitrakoot mein
(How would you recognise the Mango tree? Please stay in Chitrakoot)

Areey kuchat ke chinhali hum hayi mahua ho vrikshya
(With one bite, I recognised that it was a Mahua tree)

Areey baurat chinhali aam, basna Chitrakoot mein
(Seeing the blossoms, I recognise it is a Mango tree. Please stay in Chitrakoot)

Areey wahi Chitrakootwa mein haye dui go muratiya
(The Chitrakoot, which has two sculptures)

Ek Lakshman ek Rama basna Chitrakoot mein
(One of Lakshman and the other of Ram, please stay in Chitrakoot)

Areey man bairaagi bhaila hey Rama basna Chitrakoot mein
(Mind is very recluse, Oh Ram, please stay in Chitrakoot)

Areey tiriya dhanuiya laah le Lakshman bhaiya
(The one carrying all the arrows of a bow is Lakshman)

Areey dhanush baad lehliye Ram, basna Chitrakoot mein
(And the one with a bow and arrow is Ram. Please stay in Chitrakoot)

Areey man bairaagi bhaila hey Rama basna Chitrakoot mein
(Mind is very recluse, Oh Ram, please stay in Chitrakoot)
