basti basti nagri nagri kah do gav gav me
kal tak the jo sar pe chade wo aaj pade hai pav me
re basti basti nagri nagri kah do gav gav me
kal tak the jo sar pe chade wo aaj pade hai pav me
itni chhoti si galti ki itni badi saza na do
bhul ki mafi mang raha hu ab to mujhko maf karo
bhul ki mafi mang raha hu ab to mujhko maf karo
abhi to tumko pata chalega kya hai aate dal ka bhav
apni karni ka phal bhogo mafi wafi bhul jao
apni karni ka phal bhogo mafi wafi bhul jao

are waqt badalte der lage na
waqt badalte der lage na us malik se kuch to daro
husn pe itna na itrao kal ki bhi kuch fikar karo
husn me kitni takat hai tum bhul gaye nadani me
sharam hai kuch to dub maro tum ab chulu bhar pani me
sharam hai kuch to dub maro tum ab chulu bhar pani me
bahut niradar hua hamara raha nahi dil par kabu
todke bandhan duniya ke ab hone chale hai hum sadhu
ab hone chale hai hum sadhu

barso lag jayenge bhaiya ugne me asali dadhi
isiliye jhole me rakh kar laya hu nakli dadhi
yadi kuwari kanya koi sankat me fas jayegi
tod samaadhi madad karunga jab bhi wo chillayegi
alvida alvida alvida alvida alvida
alvida ae duniya walo kaha suna bisra dena
mere hriday ki dukhad katha tum is yantar se sun lena
jai shankar
yantar band kiya to kya
yantar band kiya to kya hum duni yahi ramayenge
bachhe bachhe ko bachha ab sari katha sunayenge

jai ho jai ho swaami ji ki
bhed jagat ka chhupa hai swami aaj tumhari aankho me
unpar aancha na aaye jinki laaz tumhare hatho me
phenk do jhola noch lo dadhi dadhi
phenk do jhola noch lo dadhi
apne dil ko saf karo
humne apni galti mani ab to humko maf karo
dost ka itna kare niradar apni nahi ye sewa hai
jo bhi cheli sharan me aaye usko milti mewa hai
basti basti nagri nagri kah do gav gav me
basti basti nagri nagri kah do gav gav me
kal tak the jo bigde bigde aaj hai apni baho me
kal tak the jo bigde bigde aaj hai apni baho me
aaj hai apni baho me

Across hamlets, across cities, whisper to every village,
Those once perched atop, now fallen beneath the foot.
Across hamlets, across cities, whisper to every village,
Those once perched atop, now fallen beneath the foot.
Such a small mistake, such a heavy price, don't you see?
I beg for forgiveness now, grant mercy unto me.
I beg for forgiveness now, grant mercy unto me.
You will soon learn the weight of flour and pulse, the cost of living.
Reap what you've sown, forget your pleas, forgiveness is not forthcoming.
Reap what you've sown, forget your pleas, forgiveness is not forthcoming.

Time shifts, it takes no time at all.
Fear the Master above, heed His call.
Don't be so vain, think of tomorrow,
Such beauty can be a shallow sorrow.
With such beauty, you have forgotten your folly.
If you have any shame, drown in a handful of water, slowly.
If you have any shame, drown in a handful of water, slowly.
We’ve been disrespected and lost control of our hearts.
Breaking free from worldly ties, as we now depart.
As we now depart.

Years it takes, brother, for a true beard to grow.
That’s why I carry a fake, in a satchel, you know.
If a maiden in distress should cry out in need,
I'll break my meditation, and her I shall indeed.
Farewell, farewell, farewell, farewell, farewell.
Farewell, world, forget what was said, what was felt.
Listen to the sorrowful story of my heart, as I have been dealt.
Jai Shankar.
So what if the instrument is closed?
So what if the instrument is closed?
We will be with the world, our spirits composed.
We will tell the story now to every single child.

Victory, victory, to the Swami, so grand.
The secrets of the world are hidden, Swami, in your hand.
May those whose honor is in your care, be safe and stand.
Throw away the satchel, tear off the beard.
Throw away the satchel, tear off the beard.
Purify your heart, my dear.
We admit our faults; now forgive us, we beseech.
Such disrespect to a friend, this is not a service we preach.
To every disciple who comes to the shelter, the reward will reach.
Across hamlets, across cities, whisper to every village,
Across hamlets, across cities, whisper to every village,
Those once lost, now within our arms, a sacred message.
Those once lost, now within our arms, a sacred message.
Now within our arms, a sacred message.
