Raghupati Raghav Rajaram
Patit Paavana Sitaram

Sitaram Jai Sitaram
Bhaj pyare tu Sitaram

Raghupati Raghav Rajaram
Patit Paavana Sitaram

Ishwar Allah Tere Naam
Sabko sanmati de Bhagwan

Raghupati Raghav Rajaram
Patit Paavana Sitaram

[edit] Translation into English

King Rama, O Raghav, Descendent of Raghu
O saviour of the downtrodden, O Sita and Rama
Praise be to you O Sita and Rama
O loved one chant Sita-Ram
You are both Ishwar(God in Hinduism) and Allah(God in Islam)...
O God, give everybody sanity of the mind
