khel wahi phir aaj tu khela pehle guru aaya ab chela
khel wahi phir aaj tu khela pehle guru aaya ab chela
oo pagal nadan shikari jaan agar hai tujhko pyari
to chhod de meri galiyo ka phera mai nagan tu saphera

mai nagan tu saphera bhul gaya kya tu vo zamana
bhul gaya kya tu vo zamana ye nagan ka git puarna
ek jitega ek harega dekhe kon kise marega
mai roshani hu tu hai andhera mai nagan tu saphera
mai nagan tu saphera

dard purana chot purani barso pehle thi ye kahani
dard purana chot purani barso pehle thi ye kahani
tune chhedi bin baza ke meri galiyo me aake
tune lgaya hai aaj dhera mai nagan tu saphera
mai nagan tu saphera mai teri dushman,
dushman tu mera mai nagan tu saphera
mai nagan tu saphera

The same game, played anew, today,
First the master, now the disciple's way.
Oh, foolish hunter, innocent and lost,
If life's sweet taste is what you count the most,
Then cease your wandering in my domain,
I am the serpent, you the charlatan's strain.

I am the serpent, you the fabled one,
Have you forgotten, the ages gone?
Forgotten the song of serpents' lore,
One will conquer, one forevermore,
Will fall to the earth, the victor's prize.
I am the light, and you, the darkened skies.
I am the serpent, you the fabled one.

Ancient wounds, and ancient scars that bleed,
A tale repeated, planted as a seed.
You strike your flute, with notes that softly call,
And pitch your tent, within my shadowed wall.
I am the serpent, you the charlatan's strain.
I am the serpent, your eternal bane.
Your enemy, I, and you, mine to disdain.
I am the serpent, and you remain.
I am the serpent, you remain.
