pagdi pehan ke turredar akadta kyu hai
pagdi pehan ke turredar akadta kyu hai
tu to nahi hai thanedar
tu to nahi hai thanedar oye akadta kyu hai
pagdi pehan ke turredar akadta kyu hai

sare gaaw me nahi tera jawab re
sare gaaw me nahi tera jawab re
dil me hai gussa muh me jhuta rubab se
dil me hai gussa muh me jhuta rubab se
mathe pe sokha jhurri dal mathe pe sokha jhurri dal
oye bigadta kyu hai pagdi pehan ke turredar akadta kyu hai

hamse na tum jhagdna gaaw ki chhoriyo
dekho bhago yaha se kali or goriyo
phir na kahna hamra sardar phir na kahna hamra sardar
bigadta kyu hai pagdi pehan ke turredar akadta kyu hai

humko na tum samjhna shehar ki chhoriya
ji shehar ki chhoriya
piche hamre tu bekar
piche hamre tu bekar piche hamre tu bekar
haye padta kyu hai
pagdi pehan ke turredar akadta kyu hai

tum jesi lakho mere piche firi hai
mere kadmo me aake ro ro giri hai
kehti thi hamse wo dildar
haye kehti thi hamse wo dildar
bichhadta kyu hai kehti thi hamse wo dildar
bichhadta kyu hai
tu gurur se madhosh tere gum kar denge hosh
ja ja ja bhag ja bhag ja ja ja bhag ja
tera thanda kar de josh o tujhe kar denge behosh
ja ja ja bhag ja bhag ja ja ja bhag ja
oye ja ja ja bhag ja bhag ja ja ja bhag ja
pagdi pehan ke turredar akadta kyu hai
pagdi pehan ke turredar akadta kyu hai
pagdi pehan ke turredar akadta kyu hai

Why the swagger, turbaned one, why the pride?
You're no sheriff, nowhere to hide.
Why the swagger, turbaned one, why the pride?

The village knows you're not the best,
In anger's grip, a false chest.
Wrinkles etched upon your brow,
Why the temper, here and now?
Why the swagger, turbaned one, why the pride?

Don't you dare to fight with us, village girls,
Black and fair, from this place unfurl.
Don't you say our chieftain's name,
Why the temper, fan the flame?
Why the swagger, turbaned one, why the pride?

Don't mistake us, city girls you see,
Your pursuit of us is empty, free.
Behind us, you're astray,
Why the fall, come what may?
Why the swagger, turbaned one, why the pride?

A million like you, they have chased,
Cried and crumbled, life misplaced.
They begged for love, they'd start to weep,
Why the leaving, secrets to keep?
Drunk on ego, lost to pride,
We'll break your will, cast aside.
Go, begone, away you flee,
We'll cool your fire, wild and free.
Go, begone, away you flee,
Why the swagger, turbaned one, why the pride?
Why the swagger, turbaned one, why the pride?
Why the swagger, turbaned one, why the pride?
