Japo Re Rama Nama Sukhadai
(Refrain) japo re rāma nāma sukhadāī
Refrain: Please chant the name of Lord Rama, the reservoir of pleasure.
rāma nāma ke do akṣara meṅ saba sukh śāntih ̣ samāyī
In the two syllables of Rama contains all happiness and tranquility.
rāma caraṇa ke sumiraṇa se nara bhava sāgara tara jāni
nāma leta hī tero bhakta jana sīkho sadhana kā sthāyī
O man, please meditate and remember the lotus feet of Lord Rama and cross the ocean of nescience. Your devotees take up to the chanting of Your name. Please learn this stanza of the practice of spiritual life.
rāma nāma ke kārana bana gayī pāgala mīrā bāī patha
choḍā parivāra bhī choḍā is nāma ke mahimā gāyī
It is for the sake of Lord Rama's name that has maddened Mira Bai. I have rejected all posts and family and took up to only singing glories of this name.
