bazi aisi aan phansi hai galat huyi har chal
hasna mushkil rona mushkil bura hai apna hal
mere maulla karishma dikha de
mere maulla karishma dikha de
mujhe makhi bana de chahe tota bana de
ke mai uad jau phur phur phur
mere maulla karishma dikha de
mere maulla karishma dikha de
mujhe makhi bana de chahe tota bana de
ke mai uad jau phur phur phur

phanda gale me pada hai
mujhe rah rah ke aati hai khansi
machhli sa tadpe kaleja
meri aankho me phirti hai fansi
dana pani yaha ka chhuda de
dana pani yaha ka chhuda de
o maulla mujhe makhi bana de
chahe tota bana de
ke mai uad jau phur phur phur
mere maulla karishma dikha de
mere maulla karishma dikha de
mujhe makhi bana de chahe tota bana de
ke mai uad jau phur phur phur

badla hai kaisa zamana
mujhe din me bhi dikhte hai tare
uadti hai muh par hawaye
gam ne chante mujhe aise mare
mere dil ke ye dhak dhak mita de
mere dil ke ye dhak dhak mita de
o maulla mujhe makhi bana de
chahe tota bana de
ke mai uad jau phur phur phur
mere maulla karishma dikha de
mere maulla karishma dikha de
mujhe makhi bana de chahe tota bana de
ke mai uad jau phur phur phur

A game of fate, a wrong move made, the losing hand I hold,
To laugh is hard, to weep is hard, my story, bleak and cold.
My Lord, perform a miracle,
My Lord, perform a miracle,
Make me a fly, a parrot bright,
That I may take to soaring flight,
Furr, furr, furr.
My Lord, perform a miracle,
My Lord, perform a miracle,
Make me a fly, a parrot bright,
That I may take to soaring flight,
Furr, furr, furr.

A snare around my weary neck,
A cough that racks me, breath by breath,
My heart, a fish, in pain it swims,
The noose of grief, a dance with death.
This sustenance, from me, remove,
This sustenance, from me, remove,
Oh, my Lord, make me a fly,
A parrot in the boundless sky,
That I may take to soaring flight,
Furr, furr, furr.
My Lord, perform a miracle,
My Lord, perform a miracle,
Make me a fly, a parrot bright,
That I may take to soaring flight,
Furr, furr, furr.

How changed the world, a twisting scene,
By day, the stars begin to gleam,
The winds they whip across my face,
Sorrow's harsh slaps, a brutal dream.
My heart's wild beat, let it be stilled,
My heart's wild beat, let it be stilled,
Oh, my Lord, make me a fly,
A parrot in the boundless sky,
That I may take to soaring flight,
Furr, furr, furr.
My Lord, perform a miracle,
My Lord, perform a miracle,
Make me a fly, a parrot bright,
That I may take to soaring flight,
Furr, furr, furr.
