Part 1:buddham saranam gachchhaami
dham{}mam saranam gachchhaami
sangham saranam gachchhaami

ghabaraae jab mann anamol
hriday ho uthe daanvaadol

ghabaraae jab mann anamol
aur hriday ho danvaadol
tab maanav tu mukh se bol
buddham saranam gachchhaami

jab ashaanti ka raag uthe, laal lahu ka phaag uthe
hinsa ki vo aag uthe, maanav mein pashu jaag uthe
upar se muskaate nar, bhitar zahar rahe hon ghol
tab maanav tu mukh se bol, buddham saranam gachchhaami

Part 2:
jab duhkh ki ghadiyaan aaye.n
sach par jhuth vijay paaye
is nirmal paavan mann par
jab kalank ke ghan chhaaye.n
anyaayon ki aandhi mein
kaan uthe jab tere dol

Part 3
ruth gaya jab sun ne vaala
kis se karuun pukaar
pyaar kahaan pahachaan saka ye
ye nirday sansaar

nirdayata jab le le dhaam
daya huyi ho antaryaam
jab ye chhota sa insaan
bhul raha apana bhagavaan
satya tera jab ghabaraaye
shradhdhha ho jab daanvaadol

Part 4
jab duniya se pyaar uthe, nafarat ki deewaar uthe
maan ki mamata par jis din, bete ki talawaar uthe
dharati ki kaaya kaanpe, anbar dagamag uthe dol
tab maanav tu mukh se bol, buddham saranam gachchhaami

Part 5
door kiya jis ne jan-jan ke vyaakul mann ka andhiyaara
jisaki ek kiran ko chhukar chamak utha ye jag saara

deep saty ka sada jale, daya ahinsa sada phale
sukh shaanti ki chhaaya mein jan-gan-man ka prem pale
bhaarat ke bhagawaan buddha ka gunje ghar-ghar mantr amol
