diwane ko kuch aaj pana to hai hisab apne dil ka chukana to hai
diwane ko kuch aaj pana to hai hisab apne dil ka chukana to hai
nazar tumse aaj milana to hai badi dur se badi dur se
ha badi dur se chal kar aaye hai tumhe jalwa dikhana hoga
badi dur se chal kar aaye hai tumhe jalwa dikhana hoga
badi dur se chal kar aaye hai tumhe jalwa dikhana hoga
nahi aa kar ha ha nahi aa kar aahe nahi aakar phir hume
apne hatho se parda uthana hoga
badi dur se chal kar aaye hai tumhe jalwa dikhana hoga

meri tano se parde kanp ke gir jate hai
mere nagmo pe dilbar daude chale aate hai
jiske sangit ka ghayal hai zamana
is diwane ko tune haye tune na samjha na jana
bhala tu kya gaye magar kuch ho to zidd hai
gala hai kawe jaisa surile pan ki had hai
aaj mausam basanti hai to maza aaj hoga
kaun mausam ka panchi hai faisala aaj hoga
jani kawa ho jani kawa ho tum ya koyal ho
humko boli sunana hoga
badi dur se chal kar aaye hai tumhe jalwa dikhana hoga

kya kiya jaye zamana hi kuch aisa hai
chhod aag ko mahal me tu baitha hai
na ho aisa ke rang badal jaye
yahi mehfil kahi tujhpe na kayamat dhaye
lo to phir aa gaye hum aa gaye chha gaye hum
waqt hai jag ja tu ab kahi bhag ja tu
dekhe nahi koi mukhada chhupao
dekhe nahi koi mukhada chhupao
kahi more raja pakde na jao kahi more raja pakde na jao
bahut banaya ab na banao bahut banaya ab na banao

shakal hai teri jaise koi sukha chukandar
jo aaya hai sar pe baitha jaise dali pe bandar
apni maddari ko bekari bana kyu chhupaya hai
raz bhi duje ka hai taz bhi pehnaya hai
raz bhi mera hai ye taz bhi mera hai ye
saz bhi mera hai ye taz bhi mera hai ye
bhag ja lekar apni dholki me ghodi ko
lag gaye ab hath tere jin ghodi ko
pyar ki bat jo bolega pyar ko jit lega
jo kala dikhlayega wo mehfil ko lut lega
kala dikhlayega kala dikhlayega
jab diwana pichhe pichhe zamana hoga
badi dur se chal kar aaye hai tumhe jalwa dikhana hoga
badi dur se chal kar aaye hai tumhe jalwa dikhana hoga

The madman craves a prize tonight,
To settle accounts, and set the heart aright.
The madman craves a prize tonight,
To settle accounts, and set the heart aright.
To meet your gaze, a burning light,
From afar, from a great distant plight.

We've journeyed far, a weary plight,
To show you now, our burning light.
We've journeyed far, a weary plight,
To show you now, our burning light.
No, coming, ah yes, coming, sighing, no coming,
From your own hands, the veil you must unwind.
We've journeyed far, a weary plight,
To show you now, our burning light.

My melodies, the veils tremble and fall,
My songs, my love, they heed my call.
Whose music wounds and thrills the age,
This madman, you, alas, you did not engage.
What can you sing? Yet still, a stubborn claim,
A crow's harsh throat, devoid of fame.
The season's spring, a playful spree,
Who is the bird of spring, we shall see.
Beloved crow, beloved crow,
Or nightingale, you must bestow.
We've journeyed far, a weary plight,
To show you now, our burning light.

What to do, the world, it is as such,
You’ve forsaken fire, in a palace of touch.
Lest colours shift, a sudden sway,
Lest this very gathering, your doom convey.
So we arrive, we come, we cast our spell,
Awake, awake, now flee, escape this hell.
Let no one see your face, hide it well,
Let no one see your face, hide it well,
Lest my king be caught, my king be caught, let them tell,
We've journeyed far, a weary plight,
To show you now, our burning light.

Your face, a beet, withered and dry,
Upon the head, a monkey, hanging high.
Why hide your art, your circus play?
And share another's secret, in disarray?
The secret is mine, the crown is mine,
The secret is mine, the crown is mine,
The music is mine, the crown is mine,
Flee now, with your drum and your steed,
Now, let them touch your steed indeed.
He who speaks of love, love he shall seize,
He who shows his art, the gathering will appease.
Show your art, show your art,
When the world follows, and tears apart,
We've journeyed far, a weary plight,
To show you now, our burning light.
We've journeyed far, a weary plight,
To show you now, our burning light.
