Love them

Here are the some lyrics of a song from 'Swades' . These are written by Javed Akhtar and are loosely translated below(thanks to Sheece).

ram hriday mein hai mere, ram hi dhadkan mein hai
ram meri aatma mein, ram hi jeevan mein hai,
ram har pal mein hai mere, ram hi har shwaas mein
ram har asha mein mere, ram hi har aas mein

ram hi to karuna mein hai, shanti mein ram hai
ram hi hai ektaa mein, pragati mein ram hai
ram bas bhakton nahi, shatru ke bhi chintan mein hai
dekh taj ke paap ravan, ram tere man mein hai

ram tere man mein hai, ram mere man mein hai
ram to ghar ghar mein hai, ram har aangan mein hai
man se ravan jo nikale, ram uske man mein hai

A translation of sorts....

The woman sings, "Ram is in my heart, in my pulse, in my soul, in my life.
Ram is in my thots, in my breath, in my hopes. Ram is all I want."

The man interrupts "Ram is mercy, is peace, is unity, is progress
Ram is revered by all, his worshippers and his enemies
Look! Ravan, there is a Ram in you too
Ram is a part of you, Ram is a part of me

Ram is in every house, Ram is everywhere

Remove the Ravan in you, and there is a Ram in you...

(Ram signifies God, or a manifestation of good, Ravan is Satan or the dominance of bad qualities)
