BANJARANAMA by Nazeer Akbarabadi

Tuk hirs-o-hawas ko chhod mian, mat des bides phire mara,

Qazzaaq ajal ka loote hai din raat, baja kar naqqara;

Kya badhiya, bhainsa, bel, shutar, kya goien, palla, sarbhara,

Kya gehun, chawal, moth, matar, kya aag, dhuvaan, kya angara,

Sab thath para reh jayega jab laad chale ga BANJARA.

Gar tu hai lakhhi banjara, aur khaip bhi teri bhari hai,

Ae ghafil, tujh se bhi chadhta ik aur bara beopari hai,

Kya shakkar, misri, qand, giri, kya sambhar, meetha, khari hai,

Kya daakh, munaqqa, saunth, mirch, kya kesar, laung, supari hai

Sab thath para rah jayega jab laad chale ga BANJARA.

Ye badhiya laade, bail bhare, jo purab pachhim jawe ga,

Ya sood barha kar lawega, ya tota, ghata, pawe ga,

Qazzaq ajal ka raste mein jab bhala mar girawe ga,

Dhan, daulat, naati, pota kya, ik kunba kaam na aawe ga,

Sab thath para rah jayega jab laad chale ga BANJARA.

Har manzil mein ab sath tere ye jaana, dera,daanda hai

Zarr, daam, diram ka bhaanda hai, bandooq, sipar aur khaanda hai

Jab nayak tan ka nikal gya,jo mulkon mulkon baanda hai

Phir haanda hai na bhaanda hai, na halwa hai na maanda hai

Sab thath para rah jayega jab laad chale ga BANJARA.

Jab chalte chalte raste main ye joon teri dhal jave gi,

Ik badhya teri matti par phir ghaas na charne ave gi,

Ye khep jo tune laadi hai, sab hisson main batt jave gi

Dhan, pot , jamai ,beta kya, banjaran pas na ave gi

Sab thath para rah jayega jab laad chale ga BANJARA.

Ye khep bhare jo jata hai,ye khep mein miyan mat gin apni

Ab koi ghr,pal,saa'at main ye khep badan ki khapni hai

Kya thaal,katore chandi ke,kya peetal ki dabbiya dhapni,

Kya bartan sone,rupe ke,kya matti ki handiya dhapni,

Sab thath para rah jayega jab laad chale ga BANJARA.

Kuch kaam na ave ga tere, ye laal,zamurrud,seem-o-zarr,

Jab poonji baat main bikhre gi,phir aan bane gi jaan ooper,

Naqqaare nobat baan nishan,dolat hishmat fojen lashkar,

Kya masnad takiya,milk,makaan,kya choki,kursi,takht,chakkar,

Sab thaath para reh jaye ga jab laad chale ga BANJARA.

Kyun jee par bojh uthata hai,in konon bhaari bhaari ke

Jab mout ka dera aan pare phir doone hain Biyopaari ke

Kya saaz,jurao,zarr,zewar, kya doone hain Biyopaari ke

Kya ghore zeen sunehri ke,kya hathi laal umari ke

Sab thaath para reh jaye ga jab laad chale ga BANJARA.

Magroor na ho talwaron par,mat phool bharose dhaalon ke

Sab patta tor ke bhaagen ge,mooh dekh ajal ke bhaalon ke

Kya dibbe moti,heeron ke kya dher khazane maalon ke

Kya bukche taash mushjar ke,kya takhte shaal do shaalon ke

Sab thaath para reh jaye ga jab laad chale ga BANJARA.

Kya sakht makaan banwata hai,kham tere badan ka hai pola

Tu unche koot uthata hai,waan dekh goor garhe ne mooh khola

Kya reti,khandaq,rand bare,kya burj,kangola anmola

Garh,koot,rihakka,tope,qila,kya sheesha daaru aur gola

Sab thaath para reh jaye ga jab laad chale ga BANJARA.

Har aan nafa aur tote mai kyun marta phirta hai bann bann

Tuk ghafil dil mai soch zara, hai sath laga tere dushman

Kya londi,baandi,daai,dawa,kya banda,chela.naik chalan

Kya mandir,MASJID,taal,kunwen,kya ghaat sira,kya baagh,chaman

Sab thaath para reh jaye ga jab laad chale ga BANJARA.

Jab marg phira kar chahak ko ye bail badan ka haanke ga

Koi naaj samete ga tera,koi goon siye ga aur taanke ga

Ho dher akela jungle mai tu khaak lehad ki phaanke ga

Is jungle mai phir aah Nazeer~ ik bhanga aan na jhaanke ga

Sab thaath para reh jaye ga jab laad chale ga BANJARA

Tuk hirs-o-hawas ko chhod mian, mat des bides phire mara,

Qazzaaq ajal ka loote hai din raat, baja kar naqqara;

Kya badhiya, bhainsa, bel, shutar, kya goien, palla, sarbhara,

Kya gehun, chawal, moth, matar, kya aag, dhuvaan, kya angara,

Sab thath para reh jayega jab laad chale ga BANJARA.
