Lyrics –

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)

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)

Shyamal sundar gaur manohar mor mukut chhavi laaye
(The beautiful, fair-skinned, and adorable lord of Awadh has arrived)

Rama Lakshman naam hai inke saath guru ke aaye
(Lord Rama and Lakshmana have arrived, along with their mentor Vashisht)

Haath dhanua vaan chalaaye hain, Awadh ke laalna
(They are carrying a bow and arrow, Oh Lord of Awadh!)

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)
