bansi ki madhur
bansi ki madhur dhun se mere bhag jaga de
bhag jaga de mere shyam bhag jaga de
he shyam mere shyam meri par baat bana de
shaym ghanshyam he shyam ghanshyam
he shyam ghanshyam he shyam ghanshyam
he shyam ghanshyam

tu chahe to ban sakte hai sab kaaz hamare
tu chahe to ban sakte hai sab kaaz hamare
aakash pe lag sakte hai tute hue tare
aakash pe lag sakte hai tute hue tare
tuti hui nawo ko kinare se laga de
he shyam ghanshyam he shyam ghanshyam
he shyam ghanshyam he shyam ghanshyam
bansi ki madhur
bansi ki madhur dhun se mere bhag jaga de
he sham mere shyam par baat bana de par baat bana de

mere armano ki bhakti ko bacha de
mere armano ki bhakti ko bacha de
bujhte hue aashao ke deepak ko jala de
tufa se bachake hame
tufa se bachake hame raste pe laga de
he shyam he shyam he shyam he shyam
he shyam he shyam he shyam he shyam
he shyam he shyam he shyam he shyam
he shyam he shyam he shyam he shyam

From the flute's sweet song, awaken my fate,
Awaken my fate, O Shyam, awaken my fate.
O Shyam, my Shyam, make my world anew,
Shyam Ghanshyam, O Shyam Ghanshyam,
Shyam Ghanshyam, O Shyam Ghanshyam,
Shyam Ghanshyam.

If You will, all our tasks can be done,
If You will, all our tasks can be done.
Broken stars can light the heavens' dome,
Broken stars can light the heavens' dome.
Bring broken boats to the shore's embrace,
Shyam Ghanshyam, O Shyam Ghanshyam,
Shyam Ghanshyam, O Shyam Ghanshyam.
From the flute's sweet song, awaken my fate,
O Shyam, my Shyam, make my world anew, make my world anew.

Protect the devotion of my soul's desires,
Protect the devotion of my soul's desires.
Ignite the lamps of hope, now fading away,
Ignite the lamps of hope, now fading away.
Save us from the storm,
Save us from the storm, and guide us on our way,
O Shyam, O Shyam, O Shyam, O Shyam,
O Shyam, O Shyam, O Shyam, O Shyam,
O Shyam, O Shyam, O Shyam, O Shyam,
O Shyam, O Shyam, O Shyam, O Shyam.
