By Goswami Tulsidas (Ramcharitmanas)Language Awadhi5 verses
मंगल भवन अमंगल हारी। द्रवउ सो दसरथ अजिर बिहारी॥ राम सिया राम सिया राम जय जय राम॥
Mangal bhavan amangal haari, Dravau so Dasrath ajir bihaari. Ram Siya Ram Siya Ram jai jai Ram.
May he who is the abode of everything auspicious and the remover of everything inauspicious, who played as a child in Dasharatha's courtyard, melt with compassion for me. Ram, Sita-Ram, Sita-Ram, victory, victory to Ram.
हरि अनंत हरि कथा अनंता। कहहिं सुनहिं बहुबिधि सब संता॥
Hari anant Hari katha ananta, Kahahin sunahin bahubidhi sab santa.
Hari is infinite and the story of Hari is endless; the saints tell it and hear it in many ways.
सीय राममय सब जग जानी। करउँ प्रनाम जोरि जुग पानी॥
Siya Ram-may sab jag jaani, Karaun pranaam jori jug paani.
Knowing the whole world to be filled with Sita and Ram, I bow to it with folded hands.
होइहि सोइ जो राम रचि राखा। को करि तर्क बढ़ावै साखा॥
Hoihi soi jo Ram rachi raakha, Ko kari tark badhaavai saakha.
Only that will happen which Ram has already ordained; why argue and add branches to the debate?
रामहि केवल प्रेमु पिआरा। जानि लेउ जो जाननिहारा॥
Raamahi keval premu piaara, Jaani leu jo jaananihaara.
Ram loves only love. Let those who wish to understand, understand this.
