Man ḍole meraa tan ḍole

Man ḍole meraa tan ḍole
Mere dil kaa gayaa karaar re
Ye kaun bajaaye baasureeyaȧ

Madhur madhur sapanȯ mė dekhee
maine raah navelee
Toṛ chalee mȧi laaj kaa peharaa
jaane kahaȧ akelee
Chalee mȧi jaane kahaȧ akelee
Ras ghole, dhoon yoȯ bole
Jaise ṭhanḍee paṛe puhaar re
Ye kaun bajaaye baasureeyaȧ

Kadam kadam par rang suneharaa
ye kis ne bikharaayaa
Naagan kaa man bas karane
ye kaun saperaa aaya
Na jaane kaun sapera aaya
Pag ḍole, dil yoȯ bole
teraa ho ke rahaa shikaar re
Ye kaun bajaaye baasureeyaȧ

My mind is trembling, my body is trembling. My heart feels like it is suffocating. But I hear the sound of a flute, tell me who is playing the flute?

In these dreams, I looked for your unknown path. I left my shyness and alone, I walked along. Let the cold secrets all be open.

Who threw sunrays in my path. Who is playing that tune that can charm a snake? Who is the serpent? I am your goal.

Nagin (1954); Lata Mangeshkar
