The version popularized by Vishnu Digambar Paluskar and the Gandhian movement:

रघुपति राघव राजाराम, पतित पावन सीताराम

सीताराम सीताराम, भज प्यारे तू सीताराम

ईश्वर अल्लाह तेरो नाम, सब को सन्मति दे भगवान!!

Transliteration (ITRANS):

raghupati raaghav raajaaraam,

patit paavan siitaram

siitaaraam, siitaram,

bhaj pyaare tu siitaram

Iishvar Allaah tero naam,

sab ko sanmati de bhagavaan

Translation:

Chief of the house of Raghu_Ram, Lord Rama,

Uplifters of those who have fallen, Sita and Rama,

Sita and Rama, Sita and Rama,

O beloved, praise Sita and Rama,

God and Allah are your names,

Bless everyone with this wisdom, Lord.

Original lyrics:

Raghupathi raghava rajaram

Pathithapaavana sitharam

Sundhara vigraha meghashyam

Ganga tulasi salagram

Bhadra girishwara sitharam

Bhakatha janapriya sitharam

Janaki ramana sitharam

Jaya jaya raghava sitharam

Sometimes these words are added:

जय रघुनंदन जय सिया राम जानकी वल्लभ सीताराम

Transliteration:

Jai Raghunandan, Jai Siyaa Raam,

Jaanakii Vallabh Siita Raam.
