kankar kankar se mai puchhun
shankar meraa kahaan hai koi bataaye
kankar kankar se mai puchhun
shankar meraa kahaan hai koi bataaye

shikhar shikhar se puchh rahi hun
shankar meraa kahaan hai
gaurivar gagaadhar har har
shankar meraa kahaan hai koi bataaye

o nil gagan ki chadrkala
o nil gagan ki chadrkala
tu rehti unke pass bhala
mera kahan gaya pritam bata
meri bigadi kon banaye
kankar kankar se mai puchhun
shankar meraa kahaan hai koi bataaye

haule haule chal phanidhar
haule haule chal phanidhar
mai bhi tere sang chalun
tu haule haule chal phanidhar
tu lipategaa gale shyaam ke
mai charano me rah lun
meraa dhanya jivan ho jaaye
koi bataaye koi bataaye koi bataaye

I search each stone, a whispered plea,
"Where dwells my Shiva? Tell me, see?"
I search each stone, the whispered call,
"Where dwells my Shiva, lest I fall?"

From peak to peak, the question flies,
"Where is my Shiva, in the skies?"
Gaurivar, Gangadhar, Har, Har,
"Where is my Shiva, near or far?"

O crescent moon in azure deep,
O crescent moon, secrets you keep,
You dwell so close, his presence near,
My beloved lost, where does he steer?
Who'll mend the threads, my tangled plight?
I search each stone, with fading light,
"Where dwells my Shiva? Tell me, see?"

Serpent king, move soft and slow,
Serpent king, where you go, I go,
Oh, move with care, serpent king so grand,
You coil his neck, close to his hand,
I'll rest at his feet, my heart alight,
My life made whole, in sacred sight.
Oh tell me, tell me, where he's found.
