be sir pair sapne dekhe aise hai ye tidak jham
najar utha kar jaha bhi dekho
are bhati bhati ke tidak jham
tidak jham tid tidak jham, tid tidak jham tid tidak jham
be sir pair sapne dekhe aise hai ye tidak jham
yahi nahi tidak jham bhai, bade bade hai tidak jham
tidak jham tid tidak jham, tid tidak jham tid tidak jham
kahi ek akela tidak jham
kahi jhund ke jhund hai tidak jham
najar utha kar jaha bhi dekho, bhati bhati ke tidak jham
bhati bhati ke tidak jham, bhati bhati ke tidak jham

ye dhoti wala tidak jham, wo shirt pant me tidak jham
ye unko samjhe tidak jham, wo inko samjhe tidak jham
ye unse badhke tidak jham, wo inse badhke tidak jham
inko unse apna kam, unko inse apna kam
are sachi sachi bat kaye, na inhe kam unhe kam
na inhe kam unhe kam
tidak jham sab tidak jham, tidak jham sab tidak jham

ye to sirf banbi hai ji, are bahut bade inke godam
jisne ki hai rachna inki, kare usi ki nind haram
inke fere me jo aaye, samjho uska kam tamam
najar utha kar jaha bhi dekho, bhati bhati ke tidak jham
tidak jham sab tidak jham, tidak jham sab tidak jham

ye dur ki kodi laye hai, wo machli pakadne aaye hai
ye khichdi khakar aaye hai, wo khatiya sath me laye hai
pani se dudh niklalenge, guthli samet khayenge aam
are ullu apna sidha hoye, isi fer me charo jham
isi fer me charo jham
kiski hogi balle balle, kiski hogi tidak jham
ab kya hoga anzam anzam

lo ho gayi inki tidak jham, dekho munna chuk gaya
or gaya kam tamam
fas gayi na jan ninde haram, lo mach gaya kohram
are ghoda bhaga chhod lagam, izzat inki hui tamam
are ghoda bhaga chhod lagam, izzat inki hui tamam
jaisi niyat barakat waisi, jaise karam waise anzam
najar uthakar jaha bhi dekha, tidak jham sab tidak jham
tidak jham sab tidak jham, tidak jham sab tidak jham
tidak jham sab tidak jham, tidak jham sab tidak jham
tidak jham sab tidak jham

These rootless dreams, a fractured play,
A circus mirrors every way.
Look where your gaze may chance to roam,
A thousand forms of fleeting foam.
Fractured play, a broken sound,
Fractured play on hallowed ground.
Rootless dreams, a fractured play,
A circus mirrors every way.
Look where your gaze may chance to roam,
A thousand forms of fleeting foam.
Fractured play, a broken sound,
Fractured play on hallowed ground.

One, a lonely fractured face,
A crowd, a jostling, shifting space.
Look where your gaze may chance to roam,
A thousand forms of fleeting foam.
A thousand forms, a fleeting show,
A thousand forms in ebb and flow.

The dhoti-clad, a fractured guise,
The shirt-worn one, before your eyes.
They judge each other, this broken art,
Each thinks they know the other's heart.
One thinks themselves a cut above,
The other seeks the world's deep love.
Their selfish needs, their petty greed,
No truth they seek, no helping deed.
No work for them, nor for the other,
A fractured play, one from another.

Mere puppets in a larger scheme,
With massive storehouses, it would seem.
The one who made them, brought to shame,
Their sleep is lost, consumed by flame.
Who falls within their tangled weave,
Their life is done, they can't believe.
Look where your gaze may chance to roam,
A thousand forms of fleeting foam.
Fractured play, a broken sound,
Fractured play on hallowed ground.

They seek the distant, foreign prize,
While others fish with hungry eyes.
They eat the gruel, then they lie,
And bring their cots beneath the sky.
They'll milk the water, drink the white,
And swallow whole the mango's light.
Each fool pursues their selfish way,
And ruins all, come what may.
Come what may, the final test,
Whose triumph, whose unrest?
What fate awaits, what end is near?

Their fractured game, now at its close,
The boy is lost, the whole world knows.
And all is lost, the final cost,
The frightened soul, the good is crossed.
The horse runs wild, its tether gone,
Their honor lost, the battle won.
The horse runs wild, its tether gone,
Their honor lost, the battle won.
As is your heart, so shall you find,
The fruits of deeds, left far behind.
Look where your gaze may chance to roam,
Fractured play, now finds its home.
Fractured play, now finds its home,
Fractured play, where all must roam.
Fractured play, now finds its home,
Fractured play, where all must roam.
