Lyrics:

mera naam raju gharana anam

mera naam raju gharana anam bahti hai ganga jahaan mera dhaam

mera naam raju gharana anam bahti hai ganga jaha mera dhaam

mera naam raju

kaam naye nit geet banana geet bana ke jaha ko sunana

koi na mile to akele me gana

koi na mile to akele me gana

kaviraj kahe na ye taj rahe na ye raj rahe na ye raj gharana

preet aur preet ka geet rahe kabhi lut saka na koi ye khazana

mera naam raju gharana anam bahti hai ganga jahaan mera dhaam

mera naam raju

dhool ka ek badal albela niklaa hoon apne safar me akela

chup chup dekhu mai dunia ka mela

chup chup dekhu mai dunia ka mela

kaahe man kare abhiman kare mehman tujhe ik din to hai jana

dafli utha aawaz mila ga mil ke mere sang prem tarana

mera naam raju gharana anam

mera naam raju gharana anam bahti hai ganga jaha mera dhaam

mera naam raju gharana anam bahti hai ganga jaha mera dhaam

mera naam raju
