Lyrics –

Ram ka ladai
(Fights of Ram)

Dekho bhaiya hayi kaisa Ram ka ladai
(Look out brother, for the fights of Ram)

Ram bigad gaye Lakshman bigade
(Ram got angry, Lakshman got angry)

Bigade Janki maai
(Even Mother Jaanki is angry)

Anjani ke putra Mahaveer bigade
(Along with them, the son of Anjani, Mahaveer, is also angry)

Ek chalang mein Lanka jarai
(In just one jump, he set Lanka on fire)

Dekho bhaiya hayi kaisa Ram ka ladai
(Look out brother for the fights of Ram)

Arey Aisa phool phulaye ek semar
(See the kind of flower that bloomed)

Arey sugwa rahe lubhai
(To lure the parrot)

Arey maarat chonch bhuja udi gayile
(The moment his beak touched, the arms fell off)

Arey sugwa chalein parail
(And the parrot fell on Ram’s feet)

Dekho bhaiya hayi kaisa Ram ka ladai
(Look out brother for the fights of Ram)

Meghnaad Ravan ka beta baithe dhwaja phulaai
(Meghnaad, son of Ravan, sat in pride)

Aise koi hote Ram ke dal mein
(Asking if there is anyone in Ram’s army)

Arey unhaun se ladat ladai
(Who is brave enough to fight with him)

Dekho bhaiya hayi kaisa Ram ka ladai
(Look out brother for the fights of Ram)

Aetani baat suna jab Lakshman
(Seeing all this, Lakshman)

Haye man hi man risiayi
(Got very angry and)

Arey bhuja kaat lanka mein phekaye
(Tore his arm and threw it in Lanka)

Seesh giral jahan baithe Raghurahi
(And his head found a spot in the feet of Raghunath)
