As sung by Shri Mohit Mangru from Bath Settlement, ECD, Guyana. 0.(Dohā) Pratham pūjā mai'ne dekhā, kī apnī mātā kā pūjanā. Jhar sevā karnā chahatā ho, kī apne pitā kā sevā nā. Apne mātā pitā kī pūjā, Saravan kar dekhalāyā. (ĀĪŪṛāīū) Ek oṛhī andhā, ek oṛhī andhī, tīrath vrat karavāyā. Kyā? 1. Jab Saravan nīr ko dhāyī, pānī kā gun gun āvas jab āyī. Dasharath ne bān chalāyā, jab Saravan nīr ko dhāyī. Saravana . . . nīr ko dhāyī, jab Saravan nīr ko dhāyī; pānī kā gun gun āvas jab āyī, jab Saravan nīr ko dhāyī. 2. Nadī kināre baithe Saravan, bharane lage jab nīr. Nadī kināre baithe Saravan, bharane lage jab nīr. Rājā Dasharath dhyān kar miligā ..., Rājā Dasharath dhyān kar miligā; mār karejavā me' tīr. 3. Jab Saravan nīr ko dhāyī, pānī kā gun gun āvas jab āyī. Dasharath ne bān chalāyā, jab Saravan nīr ko dhāyī. Saravana . . . nīr ko dhāyī, jab Saravan nīr ko dhāyī; pānī kā gun gun āvas jab āyī, jab Saravan nīr ko dhāyī. -------------------- As sung by Shrimati-ji Alice Rambali-Sankar from Lot 8, Circle Street, Skeldon-Corriverton, Corentyne Berbice, Guyana. (Similar tune to the one above by Ustaad Mohit Mangru.) (Dohā) Dayā dharam kī rāsitā, kī sachatī kahe Bhagavān. Narak rāsitā jhūth hai, kī aur bat ne abhimān. Prem sab se baṛā hai, kī prem se rahā insān. Shavarī prem se jīt liye, Rāmachandra Bhagavān. 0. Merā Rām kahā' hai tū, merā Rām kahā' hai tū. Hai merā prān kahā' hai tū; hai re, merā Rām kahā' hai tū. My Lord, where are you? O (essence of) my life, where are you? 1.Tū mere man me', tū nas nas me'; tū mere zindagī ādhār (ho Rāma).(2) A'khiyā' mere taras rahā hai (2); ab tū darashā dikhā jā. Merā Rām kahā hai tū; hai re merā prān kahā hai tū. (ṛāūī) You're in my mind, you're in my veins; you are the basis of my life, O Lord. My eyes are craving for you; please give me a vision (of yourself). 2. Nagarī nagarī, dvāre dvāre; dungu rahā sāre nadiyā (ho Rāma).(2) Tūhī hai Prabhu sab ke svāmī, tūhī hai Prabhu antarayāmī; tū sab kā rakhāvālā. Merā Rām kahā hai tū, hai re merā prān kahā hai tū. I wander from city to city, door to door; and all the rivers (seeking you), O Lord. You are Lord and master of all, knower of my mind; you are my (only) protector. 3. Jo koī terā, sharan me' āye; khāli hāth na jā (ho Rāma).(2) Jo koī māne aur nahī' māne (2); mai' to na chhoṛ terā dham re. Merā Rām kahā hai tū, hai re merā prān kahā hai tū. Whoever comes to your shelter; do not go away empty handed, O Lord. Whoever may believe or may not believe, I will never leave-off your worship. 4. Merā Rām kahā' hai tū, merā Rām kahā' hai tū. Hai merā prān kahā hai tū, hai re, merā Rām hai tū. My Lord, where are you? O (essence of) my life, where are you? .
