khushbu shabab rang rawani utha ke la
kahte hai umar rafta kabhi lauti nahi
jamkabe se mneri jawani utha ke la
haye gujara hua jamana kabhi louta nahi
sayad isne kabhi bhi dekha na aaina
sathiya gaya hai isko kuch sujhta nahi
chhunder ke sar pe na bhaye chameli
chachhundar ke sar pe
chachhundar ke sar pe na bhaye chameli
kaha raja bhoj kaha gangu teli
kaha raja bhoj kaha gangu teli
kyu ustaj thik hai na, kyu bola chachhundar
mai sakar ki pori ye hai guad ki beli
mai sakar ki pori ye hai guad ki beli
kaha raja bhoj kaha gangu teli
kaha raja bhoj kaha gangu teli

kaber ke ander teri kameriya
kaber ke ander teri kameriya, kameriya, kameriya
kaber ke ander teri kameriya
bus kuch din hai baki teri umariya
ghar mera dekhe jhake ateriya
ghar mera dekhe jhake ateriya, ateriya, ateriya
ghar mera dekhe jhake ateriya
dhan pe hai mere is ki nazeriya
arey bhudu ye sher aa gaya tere liye
log ache ho to dhulat nahi dekhi jati
sirat achi achi ho to, surat nahi dekhi jati
itna bata do is bekhabar sodagar ko
maal acha ho to kimat nahi dekhi jati
kya sher mara hai

boya mujhko kone ne, boya tujhko kone ne
na mai hota to kya hota, na tu hota to kya hota
na tu hota to ye hotal nahi hota
na mai hota to ye dhaba nahi hota
na hotal hota, na dhaba hota
na ragda hota, na ye jhakda hota
bujha na mujhe jhuthi moti paheli
bujha na mujhe jhuthi moti paheli
kaha raja bhoj kaha gangu teli
kaha raja bhoj kaha gangu teli

gangu rey e pangu, rey gangu gangande
pange langade, suna suna to sun
smajh smajh ke smjh ko samjho
samjh samjh na dekh samjh hai
smajh smajh ke smjh ko samjho
samjh samjh na dekh samjh hai
samjh samjh ke jo na samjh
meri samjh me vo nasamjh hai
ae nasamjh na samjh na samjh mujhe
ae nasamjh na samjh na samjh mujhe
meri samjh to teri samjh ki samjh se bahar hai
meri samjh to teri samjh ki samjh se bahar hai
maine de diya unko pyar ki hadki
maine jaan di unko atbar ki hadki
marne ke baad bhi khuli nahi aankhe
ye mere intzzar ki had thi
ye mere intzzar ki had thi
mere intzzar ki had thi
mere intzzar ki had thi

mai tujhe jhel gaya jhelne ki had se
mai tujhe khel gaya khelne ki had se
tere samane dhaba khola
ye mere kholne ki had thi, ha mere kholne ki had thi
ye mere kholne ki had thi, ye mere kholne ki had thi
mai idher jau ke udher jau
badi mushkil, mushkil, mushkil me hu
mai kidher jau idher jau, udher jau kidher jau
daulat se gaya soulat se gaya
bahari mehfil me izzat se gaya, bhut hawa me tha
yaaro me bazi mar gaya
meri jeet hui ye haar gaya
meri jeet hui ye haar gaya
meri ho gayi is ki khothi hawali
meri ho gayi ha meri ho gayi
meri ho gayi is ki khothi hawali
kaha raja bhoj kaha gangu teli
kaha raja bhoj kaha gangu teli
kaha raja bhoj kaha gangu teli
kaha raja bhoj kaha gangu teli

The fragrance, youth, hues, and flow, bring them forth,
They say the fleeting years never return.
From the depths of my being, bring forth my youth,
Alas, the bygone era never returns.
Perhaps it never gazed upon a mirror,
It has become senile, understanding nothing.
Jasmine ill suits a shrew's head,
Where is King Bhoj, where is Gangu the oil-presser?
Why, O Master, is it right, why speaks the shrew?
I am a sack of sugar, it is a sugarcane vine.
Where is King Bhoj, where is Gangu the oil-presser?

Within the tomb lies your waist, your waist, your waist,
Within the tomb lies your waist.
Only a few days remain of your lifespan.
My home it surveys, peeking from the attic, the attic, the attic.
Its gaze is fixed upon my wealth.
Oh, old man, this verse is for you.
If people are good, wealth is not considered.
If character is good, appearance is not considered.
Tell this oblivious merchant this:
If the goods are good, the price is not considered.
What a verse!

The corner bore me, the corner bore me,
If I wasn't, what would be? If you weren't, what would be?
If you weren't, this hotel wouldn't be; if I weren't, this dhaba wouldn't be.
No hotel, no dhaba, no scuffle, no quarrel.
Don't quench me with false, trivial riddles.
Where is King Bhoj, where is Gangu the oil-presser?

Gangu, the lame one, Gangu, lame-legged, listen, listen then.
Understanding, understand understanding; understand and don't look, understand.
In my understanding, he is ignorant.
Oh, ignorant one, oh ignorant one, don't be ignorant to me.
Oh, ignorant one, oh ignorant one, don't be ignorant to me.
My understanding is beyond your understanding.
I gave them the limit of love.
I gave them my life, the limit of trust.
Even after death, the eyes did not open,
This was the limit of my wait, this was the limit of my wait.

I endured you beyond the limit of endurance.
I endured you beyond the limit of endurance. I opened a dhaba before you.
This was the limit of my opening, yes, the limit of my opening.
This was the limit of my opening, this was the limit of my opening.
Which way shall I go, this way or that?
I am in great difficulty, difficulty, difficulty.
Where shall I go, this way or that, where shall I go?
Gone by wealth, gone by glory.

In a crowded gathering, gone by honor, was in a ghost wind.
In the company of friends, I perished, my victory was his defeat.
His bad mansion became my own.
Mine has become, yes, mine has become.
Mine has become, his bad mansion has become mine.
Where is King Bhoj, where is Gangu the oil-presser?
