man ke taar hila ja mere man ke taar hila ja
man ke ek taare par bande pritam pritam gaa le
man ke ek taare par bande pritam pritam gaa le
man ke taar baja kar murakh man ke taar baja kar murakh
jivan ka sukh pa le jivan ka sukh pa le
dag mag dole o more sajan dag mag dole o more sajan
naiya paar laga ja naiya paar laga ja
man ke taar hila ja mere man ke taar hila ja

nagri nagri dware dware jhum raha hai pritam pyare
koun nagriya ho more sajan koun nagriya ho more sajan
man ke taar hila ja mere man ke taar hila ja
man ke taar hila ja mere man ke taar hila ja

Strum the strings, oh, strum the strings of the heart,
Strum the strings, oh, strum the strings of my heart.
Upon one string alone, O mortal, sing,
Sing Beloved, Beloved, let the echoes ring.
Upon one string alone, O mortal, sing,
Sing Beloved, Beloved, let the echoes swing.
Strike the strings, you fool, strike the strings,
Strike the strings, you fool, and joy shall spring.
Find the solace of life, the joy of life.
Wavering, swaying, O my love,
Wavering, swaying, O my love,
Guide my boat across, guide my boat across,
Strum the strings, oh, strum the strings of the heart.

City to city, door to door, I wander,
Searching for my Beloved, my dearest wander.
Which city now, O my love, which city now?
Which city now, O my love, which city now?
Strum the strings, oh, strum the strings of the heart,
Strum the strings, oh, strum the strings of the heart.
