shad rahe aabad rahe tu
shad rahe aabad rahe tu
dekhu na teri ankho me ansu
hath uthake rab se dua ye
hath uthake rab se dua ye
mangu ye din raat ho
rab jaane hai kya baat ho
rab jane hai kya baat

meri dafli teri payal ho meri dafli teri payal
bajte hai ik saath ho rab jane hai kya baat ho
rab jane hai kya baat

ujad gaya geeton ka mela
ujad gaya geeton ka mela
tere bina kitna mai akela
ro padta hu jab rakta hu
ro padta hu jab rakta hu
dafli pe ye haath

May you be joyous, may you be forever.
May you be joyous, may you be forever.
Never shall I see tears in your eyes.
With raised hands, I pray to the Lord,
With raised hands, I pray to the Lord,
That I may beg this day and night.
The Lord knows what the matter is,
The Lord knows what the matter is.

My drum, your anklets,
My drum, your anklets,
They sound together,
The Lord knows what the matter is,
The Lord knows what the matter is.

The fair of songs has scattered,
The fair of songs has scattered,
How alone I am without you.
I weep when I place,
I weep when I place,
My hand upon the drum.
