bhawra bada nadan hay, bagiyan ka mehman hay
phir bhi jaane na, jaane na, jaane na kaliyan ki muskan hay
bhawra bada nadan hay, bagiyan ka mehman hay
phir bhi jaane na, jaane na, jaane na kaliyan ki muskan hay
bhawra bada nadan

kabhi ud jaaye kabhi mandaraaye, bhed jiya ke khole na
kabhi ud jaaye kabhi mandaraaye, bhed jiya ke khole na
saamane aaye naina milaaye, mukh dekhe kuchh bole na
vo mukh dekhe kuchh bole na
bhawra bada nadan hay

aakhiyo me rachke chale bach bachke, jaise ho koyi begana
aakhiyo me rachke chale bach bachke, jaise ho koyi begana
rahe sang dil ke mile nahi milke, banke rahe woh anjana
ho banke rahe woh anjana
bhawra bada nadan hay

koyi jab roke koyi jab toke, gungun karta bhaage re
koyi jab roke koyi jab toke, gungun karta bhaage re
na kuchh puchhe na kuchh bujhe, kaisa anaadi laage re
vo kaisa anaadi laage re
bhawra bada nadan hay, bagiyan ka mehman hay
phir bhi jaane na, jaane na, jaane na kaliyan ki muskan hay
bhawra bada

A stranger's guise, upon his face.

How simple and uncouth is he!
A foolish bee, a garden's guest, alas,
