Lyrics of Diya Bujhaao Jhatpat Jhatpat - दिया बुझाओ झटपट झटपट
aaye masto ki mehfil me bade bade mehman
kis kis ki tarif karu mai hai ek se ek mahan
sabke dil me chor hai oye sabke dil me chor hai
arey sab ujiyale se ghabraye
arey sab chahe andhiyara ho
arey sab chahe andhiyara ho
sabko dekhe ye sharmaye kya
diya bujhao jhatpat jhatpat
diya bujhao diya bujhao bujhao ho
jhatpat jhatpat jhatpat jhatpat jhatpat
mat puchhiye ye shekji hai kis karan
aji hajrat ki tar karte hai dadi ki aad me
hajrat ki tar karte hai dadi ki aad me
dilbar ko aawaj karte hai
iman ko bachao iman ko bachao
hote hi rat kahte hai la zame sharab lao
diya bujhao jhatpat jhatpat diya bujhao
diya bujhao bujhao ho diya bujhao
are pandit se puchhiye kya karte hai ye kam
are mandir ka dan khate hai
aur japte hai ram ram ram ram japna praya mal
apna ram ram japna praya mal apna
bale bale bale bale ram ram japna praya mal apna
ye jag jhuta hai sapna pagle
ye jag jhuta hai sapna ab kahe ko sharma
zara samne aao zara samne aao
zara samne aao zara samne aao
zara samne aao zara samne aao
varna diya bujhao bujhao bujhao diya bujhao
dukhb de ye janta kitne bhi hum sahe
dukhb de ye janta kitne bhi hum sahe
aap hai bade rahish khandani rahish
aur uncha khandan hai magar dil jawan hai
Poetic Translation - Lyrics of Diya Bujhaao Jhatpat Jhatpat
Guests of grandeur, in the revelry arrive,
Whose praise to sing, when each is a life sublime?
A thief in each heart, oh, a thief in each breast,
All, they recoil from the luminous light,
All crave the darkness, the fading of day,
All crave the darkness, the shadows to stay.
Ashamed, they watch, with eyes cast down low,
Put out the lamp, quickly, quickly, go!
Extinguish the light, extinguish, let go!
Quickly, quickly, quickly, quickly, go!
Ask not, why the Sheikh, this curious deed,
For in the beard, they hide their secret need,
In the beard they hide, their deceitful plea,
Calling to the beloved, across the night sea.
Guard your faith, guard your faith, with all your might,
As night descends, they cry, "Bring wine, bring light!"
Extinguish the lamp, quickly, quickly, go!
Extinguish the light, extinguish, let go!
Ask the priest, what deeds he does pursue,
Eating the temple's offering, meant for the few,
And chanting "Ram, Ram," a sacred refrain,
While stealing from others, amassing their gain.
"Ram, Ram," they chant, while others do the work,
Praising their greed, in the endless dark.
This world is false, a dream, a passing show,
Why this shame now? Come, your true selves show!
Come forward, oh, come forward, appear,
Come forward, oh, come forward, draw near!
Come forward, oh, come forward, appear,
Or else, put out the lamp, extinguish, let go!
Though suffering we endure, the people's plight,
Though suffering we endure, in the fading light,
You are the rich, of noble, ancient birth,
Of high lineage, but with hearts of youthful mirth.
