kali nagan dasegi nagan ke paas mat jana
kali nagan dasegi nagan ke paas mat jana
nagan ka dasa hua pani nahi mange
nagan ka dasa hua pani nahi mange
mar jaye akhir ho jaye vo diwana kali nagan arey re re
kali nagan dasegi nagan ke paas mat jana
na na na kaali nagan dasegi nagan ke paas mat jana

patanga aag se khele or jal jaye
patanga aag se khele or jal jaye
pagal premi ko bhala kon samjhaye
pagal premi ko bhala kon samjhaye
koi dava fir kaam nahi aye
koi dava fir kaam nahi aye
lag jaye jisko rog ye purana kali nagan arey re re
kali nagan dasegi nagan ke paas mat jana
na na na kaali nagan dasegi nagan ke paas mat jana

photo babu tum photo utaro yu hi din raat apne gujaro
ye sitam na karo mera gum na karo
ab tumhe kya pata ye hasina hai kya
chiz ye khub hai meri mehbub hai
dil ka aaram hai or kuch naam hai
keh ke nagan ise mat pukaro
photo babu tum photo utaro yu hi din raat apne gujaro

sapera kab bhala nagan se darta hai
sapera kab bhala nagan se darta hai
nagan ke zeher se to vo bhi marta hai
nagan ke zeher se to vo bhi marta hai
jeene or marne ki baato ko chodo
jeene or marne ki baato ko chodo
chedo na arey chedo na bewaqt ka ye tarana
kali nagan aisi nagan dase to manjur hai mar jana
mar jana hai mar jana manjur hai mar jana

Black serpent will strike, do not go near her,
Black serpent will strike, do not go near her.
The bitten one asks not for water,
The bitten one asks not for water,
Dies at last, becomes a madman, black serpent, oh, oh, oh!
Black serpent will strike, do not go near her,
No, no, no, black serpent will strike, do not go near her.

The moth plays with fire and is consumed,
The moth plays with fire and is consumed.
Who can reason with a mad lover?
Who can reason with a mad lover?
No medicine will work then,
No medicine will work then,
This ancient disease has gripped him, black serpent, oh, oh, oh!
Black serpent will strike, do not go near her,
No, no, no, black serpent will strike, do not go near her.

Photographer, capture this image, waste your days and nights,
Do not do this injustice, do not grieve for me.
Now, what do you know of this beauty?
This treasure, my beloved.
Comfort of the heart, with another name,
Do not call her serpent,
Photographer, capture this image, waste your days and nights.

Does the snake charmer fear the serpent?
Does the snake charmer fear the serpent?
He too dies from the serpent's poison,
He too dies from the serpent's poison.
Forget these talks of living and dying,
Forget these talks of living and dying.
Do not, oh do not, sing this untimely song.
Black serpent, such a serpent, to be struck, to die is accepted,
To die, is to die, death is accepted.
