shiv ka vandan kiya karo

meri ek suno antaryami
meri ek suno bhole swami
mai to dasi janam janam ki

tumhe chodke kahi na jau
tumhe jo chodu to mar jau

ek suno na meri bholenath ji
ek suno na meri dinanath ji
din bhar mai teri bhang ragad dungi
bhang ragdu tera ragdu dhatura
tera pura tujhe pilau tiragnatiya
tujhe pilau tiragnati aur
jo bach jave mai pi lungi
amrit jaan samajh pi lungi
sharan me le lo bholenath mohe
apni bana lo dinanath ji

ek suno ji parvati meri ek suno gora rani
is jungle me tu kya pavegi
kanjdi ban ban mar javegi
hathi chitadi sher dahaade
hathi chitadi sher dahaade
bhasam ramau dhuni ramau
tandav kar kar damru bajau
gufa bich mera hai dirari
abhi samajh ja hey gorari
abhi maan ja hey gora
meri bhut ki mala gale pad
meri khakkad mala gale padi
unko dekh is dar javegi
mere sang tu kya pavegi
koi acha kuwar raja ko dhundh
koi rup kuwar raja ko dhundh
tu rani banke baith mehel
are samajh ja hey gorari
maha maan ja hey gora

With folded hands, the maiden spoke,
"You, who dwell in every realm,
While you build homes, you choose the wild.
Oh, the wild, a place of trial!
Chant Ram, chant Ram, with every breath,
Praise Shiva, with every plea,
Bagad bum, babam bum, babam bum, lahri.

Listen, oh Inner Soul, my Lord,
Listen, oh innocent one,
Your servant through all lives,
From tender years, my devotion blooms,
From youth, my worship burns,
I cannot leave, nor can I stray,
To leave you means my end.
Bagad bum, babam bum, babam bum, lahri.

Hear me, Lord of all,
Hear me, Savior of the meek,
All day I'll grind your sacred herb,
Grind the bhang, the datura too,
And offer all to you,
To drink, a draught of bliss divine,
And what remains, I'll drink,
Embracing wisdom's purest light.
Shelter me, oh Lord of all,
Make me thine, oh Lord of the poor.
Bagad bum, babam bum, babam bum, lahri.

Hear me, Parvati, my love,
Hear me, fair-skinned queen,
In this wild, what will you find?
A life of pain, a wasted plight.
Elephants, tigers, lions roar,
I'll smear ash, stoke the fire,
Dance the tandav, beat the drum,
My cave, my dwelling place.
Yield now, oh my love,
This garland of ghosts around my neck,
Will frighten you, I know,
What can you gain with me?
Seek a noble prince,
Sit upon a throne,
Understand, oh fair one,
Yield now, my love.
Bagad bum, babam bum, babam bum, lahri.
