hakim ne kaha ghar ka khtta thikha nahi khana

ha ha mujhe gaane nachne me aata hai aanand
kehana nahi uska mana jo tha mera dard mand
ho kahana nahi uska mana jo tha mera dard mand
ha hakim tara chand jo ripiya mange panch

What happened, I almost died, oh, what befell?
A cough? No. A cold? No headache, no fever's hell.
Not fever, love, they say, summon the doctor's art.
I don't desire a physician's touch, it tears me apart.
Who knows the malady that dwells within my heart?
Only Hakim Tara Chand, a master of his trade.
He'll charge five rupees, the coin for which he's made.
He, alone, has known the ache that deep inside I bear.
Yes, Hakim Tara Chand, who charges five rupees fair.

The first time I showed him my pulse, my fragile thread,
The first time I showed him my pulse, my fragile thread,
He placed his finger, a touch of fate's design, upon my bed.
The magician's gaze met mine, a spell that he had cast,
The magician's gaze met mine, a spell that he had cast.
"All is well," he declared, without a medicine's hold, so fast.
Seeing my blush, he thought my heart had found its peace,
Seeing my blush, he thought my heart had found its peace.
Yes, Hakim Tara Chand, who charges five rupees, release.

The Hakim warned, "Avoid the sour and sharp,"
But I crave the tangy, the spicy, the heart's sharp dart!
He said, "Sleep beneath the moon's soft harp,"
Yet I shut the doors, I play a different part.
He whispered, "Speak gently, walk with a tender tread,"
He whispered, "Speak gently, walk with a tender tread,"
But I sing, oh, I must sing!
Yes, in song and dance, my joy is read.
He did not see the depths of my afflicted mind.
He did not see the depths of my afflicted mind.
Yes, Hakim Tara Chand, who charges five rupees, find.

Shall I forget, or summon Tara Chand again?
Shall I forget, or summon Tara Chand again?
I did not heed the wisdom that he knew.
Now, pride has closed his door, his love untrue.
I did not heed the wisdom that he knew.
Now, pride has closed his door, his love untrue.
I did not heed, his pride, he's turned away, gone by.
He won't return, he won't return, no more, I cry!

I am a disciple of Luqman, the wise physician!
I am a disciple of Luqman, the wise physician!
I have thousands of remedies at my command.
Your cure is not within the vials that I hold.
Your cure lies in love, my friend, I understand!
I come prepared, I come at your call.
I understand your sickness, embracing all.
Oh, my darling, oh, my darling, speak, dear one, speak!
If I find a beautiful patient like you, I would leave wisdom's path.
And become a yogi, and become a yogi, complete.

If I find a beautiful patient like you, I would leave wisdom's path,
And become a yogi, and become a yogi.
In your eyes, I'd cast my own,
Close your eyes, my dear, and you will find,
Tara Chand within your mind.

He'll hold me close, Hakim Tara Chand, he'll adore.
If my eyes are sad, he'll meet my gaze.
If my heart beats fast, he'll embrace my maze.
He has arrived, he has arrived, Hakim Tara Chand is here!
He has arrived, he has arrived, Hakim Tara Chand is here!
He has entered my heart, Hakim Tara Chand is near!
He has arrived, he has arrived, Hakim Tara Chand is here!
He took her, he took her, the maiden he did bind, Hakim Tara Chand.
