pagle man, pagle man
tu ro ro kise sunaye
pagle man, pagle man
tu ro ro kise sunaye
is nagri me dekh hua hai
nyay aur anyay
nyay aur anyay

kauwo ko tu hans kahe ja
kauwo ko tu hans kahe ja
aur kaanto ko phul
aur kaanto ko phul
unka dosh nahi hai koi
kismat ki hai bhul
koi jo puche, kal the apne
koi jo puche, kal the apne
aaj hue kyu paraye
aaj hue kyu paraye
pagle man pagle man
tu ro ro kise sunaye
is nagri me dekh hua hai
nyay aur anyay
nyay aur anyay

kankar ke tukdo ko chahe
taj pe apne lagaye
taj pe apne lagaye
kankar ke tukdo ko chahe
taj pe apne lagaye
taj pe apne lagaye
aur heero ko jan ke patthar
aur heero ko jan ke patthar
maati me ye milaye
maati me ye milaye
kisme himmat jo unko
jake ye samjhaye
jake ye samjhaye
pagle man, pagle man
tu ro ro kise sunaye
is nagri me dekh hua hai
nyay aur anyay
nyay aur anyay

jo bhi julm kare wo tujhpe
chupke chupke sahna
chupke chupke sahna
tukde tukde ho jana par
tukde tukde ho jana par
muh se kuch na kahna
muh se kuch na kahna
chhuri bhi phere gardan par to
muh se na nikle haye
muh se na nikle haye
pagle man, pagle man

Foolish heart, oh foolish heart,
To whom do you pour your weeping art?
Foolish heart, oh foolish heart,
To whom do you pour your weeping art?
In this city, watch the scales,
Where justice and injustice prevail.

You call the crows, swans of grace,
You call the thorns, a flowered space.
Their fault it is not, no, not they,
But a twist of fate's cruel sway.
If they should ask, "Were we not one?"
"Why strangers now, when day is done?"
Foolish heart, oh foolish heart,
To whom do you pour your weeping art?
In this city, watch the scales,
Where justice and injustice prevails.

They crown the pebbles, with crowns of might,
They crown the pebbles, with crowns of might,
And cast the diamonds, from sight and light.
They cast the diamonds, from sight and light.
Who dares to speak, to make them see?
Who dares to tell what should not be?
Foolish heart, oh foolish heart,
To whom do you pour your weeping art?
In this city, watch the scales,
Where justice and injustice prevails.

When they inflict their cruelest blow,
Silently, you must let it flow.
Shatter, break, though you may be,
From your lips, no word must flee.
Though the knife may graze your throat,
From your mouth, no cry will float.
Foolish heart...
