Khatu Wale Shyam

[Verse 1]
[Male] When the whole world turned away, You reached and held my hand;
You taught my broken heart to live, when I could barely stand.
[Female] I came to Khatu with my hopes, and laid them at Your feet;
[BOTH] For every soul that calls Your name, You come running through the deep.

[Chorus]
[BOTH] Shyam, the refuge of the fallen, no one leaves Your door alone;
When our hearts cry out, You hurry—Khatu Shyam, our home.
Shyam… Shyam… Baba Shyam…
Khatu Wale Shyam, our shelter and our song.

[Verse 2]
[Male] My boat was caught in storm and whirl; You steered me through the night.
When I fall along the road, You raise me to my feet.
[Female] I light the flame of Your sweet name; Your mercy cools my pain.
The world may doubt, but I believe—Your hand will still remain.
[BOTH] The one the world has left behind, You welcome as Your own.
Thorns bloom beneath our steps, wherever You walk with us.

[Chorus]
[BOTH] Shyam, the refuge of the fallen, no one leaves Your door alone;
When our hearts cry out, You hurry—Khatu Shyam, our home.
Your name is strength, Your name is breath; our keeper, joy, and guide.
Shyam… Shyam… Baba Shyam… stay ever by our side.

[Bridge]
[Male] I have so little, Baba, yet Your love is mine.
[Female] Dust from Your feet feels like the whole world’s grace.
[BOTH] Though I’ve failed a thousand times, You still embrace me;
At my last breath, let “Shyam” be the name upon my face.

[Outro]
[BOTH] No wealth, no crown—just a place at Your feet.
Hare ka sahara… Shyam hamara… Khatu Wale Shyam.
