beparwah bewajah bezuban khauf
ghoome ghoome ghoome lakh vaari
lakh vaari
sarhde pareshan bewajah
tute sapne apne sapne
har baari, har baari

badmashi baari baari baaram baari
baari baari, badmashi
baari baari baaram baari
baari baari, badmashi
na ghar bigde, na ghar ujde
na shamshiro ki ho taiyari baari baari
na aankh roye koi moye na
ho chain-o-aman ki jimmedari, baari baari
o badmashi bari bari baram baari
baari baari

sholo ki shokho pe kaise, bashinde ghar banaye
hui dhua dhua hawaye, bhaye na bhaye re
gaalo pe masumo ke phiki hansi nazar na aaye
rasta bhool gayi ashaye, aaye na aaye re
baari baari baram baari, junun taari

baari baari baari baari baari
baari baari, baari baari
baari baari baari baari baari

baari baari baaram baari
baari baari, badmashi
baari baari baaram baari
baari baari, badmashi
baari baari baaram baari
baari baari, badmashi

Uncaring, unbidden, voiceless dread,
It circles, circles, a million times, I said.
A million times.
Boundaries shattered, for no good cause.
Broken dreams, our very own,
Each time, each time.

Mischief's turn, again and again,
Turn by turn, mischief's reign.
Mischief's turn, again and again,
Turn by turn, mischief's reign.
No homes destroyed, no dwellings fall,
No swords are readied, at all.
No weeping eyes, no one to die,
No peace, no safety, passing by,
Oh, mischief's turn, again and again,
Turn by turn.

Upon the flames, how can the dwellers build their homes?
The air now smoke, a bitter scent, it roams.
On children's cheeks, a pale, lost smile, unseen.
Hope's lost its path, where has it been?
Again and again, the madness now.

Turn by turn, turn by turn, turn by turn,
Turn by turn, turn by turn.
Turn by turn, turn by turn, turn by turn,
Turn by turn, again and again.
Turn by turn, mischief's reign.
Turn by turn, again and again,
Turn by turn, mischief's reign.
Turn by turn, again and again,
Turn by turn, mischief's reign.
