Lije kachhu khabari hamaari ho Avadh Bihari

Ram — Avadh Bihari

Lyrics

Tek

Lije kachhu khabari hamaari ho

O Avadh Bihari (Ram), please give us some heed

Avadh Bihari

Pad

You are lord of all living and non-living, wishing good for all

Tumaho sakal charaachar naayak

Shelter of the unsheltered, destroyer of obstacles

Sab laayak hitakaari

You take away the grief of all people

Asharan sharan din tabhajan

O Avadh Bihari

Ganjan jan aarat bhaari

Ho Avadh Bihari

Abode of knowledge and love, crest-jewel of the wise

Protector of the good, destroyer of evil

Gyaan nidhaan sujaan shiromani

King of earth who breaks pride

Prit karat adhikaari

O Avadh Bihari

Taaran taran baran sab dushan

Mahi bhushan garv prahaari

Lord of all, protector of the weak, destroyer of wicked traits

Ho Avadh Bihari

Ocean of compassion and humility

The Vedas hail you as the one Supreme

Saahib sakal bal pratipaalak

O Avadh Bihari

Dhaalak khal gun jhaari

Din dayaal diya ke saagar

When I bow, see my humility and grant my wish

Ati naagar ved pukaari

Like the wish-tree grants desires

Ho Avadh Bihari

The days of the learned pass easily

When they worship the lotus-holder of Raghu’s line

Pranat kalpa taru yahaa bar dije

O Avadh Bihari

Mohi ati din nihaari

Drijachholakan ura ayan rayandin

Karu Raghukul kamal samhaari

Ho Avadh Bihari
