Yadaa yadaa hi dharmasya
Glaanir bhavati Bhaarata
Abhyutthaanam adharmasya
Tad'aatmaanam srjaamy aham
Paritraanaaya saadhoonaam
Vinaashaaya ca dushkrtaam
Dharma-samsthaapan'aarthaaya
Sambhavaami yuge yuge!
Avidya in the form of darkness
Is being preached by foolish religious leaders
Himsa in the form of darkness
Is still being led by terrorists
Adharma in the form of darkness
Had pervaded the world by Asuras
To illumine this darkness and to destroy Asuras
To sustain Dharma, an Avatar has to descend
Blinded in darkness
Fighting for Asat
Ahamkara ruling their life
Ajnana ruining their life
They are just living in darkness
Fooled by Kama, never there is Viveka
Driven by Artha, never there is Brahmavidya
If there's no Dharma
Never there is Moksha
When darkness triumphs
.
Whenever Dharma decays
Whenever Adharma is ascendant
I create Myself
For the protection of the good
For the destruction of Asuras
And to secure Dharma
I'm born From age to age
