sapera been bajaye gayo
nagan ko mast banaye gayo
mai to baithi hu dil ko har
teer tore nayanan ka laga jigarwa ke par
teer tore nayanan ka

sun sun dhun jiya so bal khaye re
nas nas bas gayi peed kaisi haye re
kaha bhi na jaye kuch raha bhi na jaye re
raha bhi na jaye re
mai to baithi hu dil ko har
teer tore nayanan ka laga jigarwa ke par
teer tore nayanan ka

khichi chali aayi teri jadu bhari tan se
aaya teri nagri me bade arman se
lut liya tune ek mithi muskan se
mithi muskan se mai to baithi hu dil ko har
teer tore nayanan ka laga jigarwa ke par
teer tore nayanan ka

sapera been bajaye gayo
nagan ko mast banaye gayo
mai to baithi hu dil ko har
teer tore nayanan ka laga jigarwa ke par
teer tore nayanan ka sapera been bajaye gayo
nagan ko mast banaye gayo
mai to baithi hu dil ko har
teer tore nayanan ka laga jigarwa ke par
teer tore nayanan ka

The snake charmer plays, his flute's lament,
Entrancing the serpent, heaven-sent.
I sit, my heart a fallen prize,
Your eyes, like arrows, pierce my soul's disguise.
Your eyes, like arrows.

The music's swell, my spirit swayed,
Each pulsing vein, a searing cascade.
Words fail, no solace can be made,
No solace can be made.
I sit, my heart a fallen prize,
Your eyes, like arrows, pierce my soul's disguise.
Your eyes, like arrows.

Drawn by your tune's enchanting plea,
I came to your city, wild and free,
You stole my heart, with a smile of glee,
A smile of glee.
I sit, my heart a fallen prize,
Your eyes, like arrows, pierce my soul's disguise.
Your eyes, like arrows.

The snake charmer plays, his flute's lament,
Entrancing the serpent, heaven-sent.
I sit, my heart a fallen prize,
Your eyes, like arrows, pierce my soul's disguise.
Your eyes, like arrows.
The snake charmer plays, his flute's lament,
Entrancing the serpent, heaven-sent.
I sit, my heart a fallen prize,
Your eyes, like arrows, pierce my soul's disguise.
Your eyes, like arrows.
