sapere bin baja ke nagin nachegi
sapere bin baja ke nagin nachegi
ke nagin nachegi ye bijli nachegi
ke nagin nachegi ye bijli nachegi
sapere bin baja ke nagin nachegi
sapere bin baja ke nagin nachegi

mere jahar ka koi nasha nahi
jise mai das lu mange na pani
mere jahar ka koi nasha nahi
jise mai das lu mange na pani
bijli se jo takrayega rakh wo jalkar ho jayega
bijli se jo takrayega rakh wo jalkar ho jayega
magar hai takat tere hath me, mai hu khali hath
payal tut gayi hai phir bhi bajegi ye bijli nachegi
sapere bin baja ke nagin nachegi sapere bin baja

nahi jhukungi mit jaungi hanste hanste mar jaungi
nahi jhukungi mit jaungi hanste hanste mar jaungi
in par apni jaan luta du apna sara khun baha du
in par apni jaan luta du apna sara khun baha du

upar wale majburo ke sath to kar insaf
warna meri laz yaha mit jayegi ye bijli nachegi
sapere bin baja ke nagin nachegi
sapere bin baja ke nagin nachegi
ke nagin nachegi ye bijli nachegi
ke nagin nachegi ye bijli nachegi
sapere bin baja ke nagin nachegi
sapere bin baja ke nagin nachegi

The snake charmer's tune, a serpent's sway,
The snake charmer's tune, a serpent's play,
The serpent dances, a lightning's gleam,
The serpent dances, a lightning's dream,
The snake charmer's tune, a serpent's way,
The snake charmer's tune, a serpent's day.

My venom holds no intoxication's sting,
Once I bite, they crave not water's spring,
My venom holds no intoxication's gleam,
Once I bite, they crave not water's dream,
That which faces lightning, turns to ash,
That which faces lightning, meets a crash,
Yet power resides within your hand,
I stand empty, across the land,
My anklet shattered, still the rhythm sings,
The lightning dances, on broken wings,
The snake charmer's tune, the serpent's sway.

I shall not yield, I'll vanish with a smile,
I shall not yield, I'll perish for a while,
For them, my life I'd gladly spend,
For them, my blood I'd freely lend,
To the wretched, grant justice, above,
Or my honor here will lose its love,
The lightning dances, in sorrow's night,
The snake charmer's tune, the serpent's light,
The snake charmer's tune, the serpent's gleam,
The serpent dances, a lightning's dream,
The serpent dances, a lightning's gleam,
The snake charmer's tune, a serpent's dream,
The snake charmer's tune, a serpent's day.
