arrrrrrr
pakdo re pakdo daudo re daudo
pakdo re pakdo daudo re daudo
lekar uda abhaga arey kya
nathaniya
nathaniya kaga lekar bhaga
nathaniya kaga lekar bhaga
mai to gori mere pichhe
kala mua laga
kyu kala mbua laga
nathaniya kaga lekar bhaga
nathaniya kaga lekar bhaga

chandni chowk se bade shauk se
banwai nathaniya
chandni chowk se bade shauk se
banwai nathaniya
pahan ke jab mai gali se nikali
pichhe pad gayi duniya
kisi ne mera aanchal khincha
kisi ne pakdi kalai
kisi ne aisi nazar milai mai to ghabrai
bhagi to gir gayi bhagi to gir gayi
tut gaya nathaniya ka dhaga
nathaniya
nathaniya kaga lekar bhaga
nathaniya kaga lekar bhaga

jabse kho gayi prem nishani
saiya mere ruth gaye
ho jabse kho gayi prem nishani
saiya mere ruth gaye
ek nathani ke pichhe dekho
sare bandhan tut gaye
saiya ko jab gayi manane
dol gayi meri duniya
meri jagha uski baho me
baithi thi sautaniya
bhari jawani
bhari jawani me hi mujhko
jhatka aisa laga
nathaniya hoye
nathaniya kaga lekar bhaga
nathaniya nathaniya nathaniya
haye haye
nathaniya kaga lekar bhaga
nathaniya kaga lekar bhaga

hote mere pankh to mai ud ud jati
hote mere pankh to mai ud ud jati
mue kale kaga se nathaniya le aati
ab jo koi dhund ke meri layega nathaniya
wohi mera saajan hoga mai uski sajaniya
pyar se wo hi
pyar se wo hi bhandega nathaniya ka dhaga
nathaniya
nathaniya kaga lekar bhaga
mai to gori mere pichhe
kala mua laga
kyu kala mua laga
nathaniya kaga lekar bhaga
nathaniya kaga lekar bhaga

Hark, hark!
Seize him, chase him, run, run!
He snatched, the wretch, oh what?
My nose ring,
My nose ring, the crow has flown away with it!
I am fair, behind me
The dark, dead one, pursues.
Why does the dark, dead one pursue?
My nose ring, the crow has flown away with it!

From Chandni Chowk, with such delight,
I had my nose ring made.
From Chandni Chowk, with such delight,
I had my nose ring made.
When I wore it, stepped out in the lane,
The world fell behind me.
One tugged my shawl,
Another held my wrist.
One met my gaze in such a way, I was frightened.
Ran and fell, ran and fell,
The nose ring's thread broke.
My nose ring,
My nose ring, the crow has flown away with it!

Since I lost the token of love,
My beloved is displeased.
Oh, since I lost the token of love,
My beloved is displeased.
Over a nose ring, see,
All bonds have broken.
When I went to appease my love,
My world toppled.
In his arms, in my place,
Sat his rival.
In the fullness of youth,
In the fullness of youth, such a blow struck me.
My nose ring, oh!
My nose ring, the crow has flown away with it!
Alas, alas!
My nose ring, the crow has flown away with it!

If I had wings, I would fly away,
From that dark crow, I would bring back my nose ring.
Now, whoever finds and brings back my nose ring,
He alone will be my beloved, he will be her beloved.
With love, he alone,
With love, he alone will tie the nose ring's thread.
My nose ring,
My nose ring, the crow has flown away with it!
I am fair, behind me
The dark, dead one, pursues.
Why does the dark, dead one pursue?
My nose ring, the crow has flown away with it!
