Khaike Paan Banaras Wala Lyrics English Translation - Kishore Kumar | From Don (1978)
Hmm… Dhurrrr.. Dhurrrr..
Hmm… spinning… spinning…
Arey Bhag Ka Rag Jama Ho Chakachak
Oh wow! The rhythm of luck shines brilliantly
Phir Lo Paan Chabay Aaye
Now come, chew some paan!
Hmm.. Aa Ha..
Hmm.. Ah ha..
Arey Aisa Jhatka Lage Jiya Pe
Such a shock hits the heart
Punar Janam Hoi Jaye
Feels like being reborn
O Khaike Paan Banaras Wala
Oh, after chewing paan from Banaras
Khul Jaye Band Akal Ka Tala
The locked mind opens up!
O Khaike Paan Banaras Wala
Oh, chewing Banaras paan
Khul Jaye Band Akal Ka Tala
Unlocks the frozen brain!
Phir Toh Aisa Kare Dhamaal
Then watch the wild fun begin
Seedhi Kar De Sabki Chaal
It straightens out everyone’s attitude
O Chhora Ganga Kinare Wala
Oh, that boy from the banks of Ganga
O Chhora Ganga Kinare Wala
Yes, that Ganga-side boy
O Khaike Paan Banaras Wala
Khul Jaye Band Akal Ka Tala
Chewing Banaras paan unlocks the mind
Arey Ram Duhai
Oh Lord Ram, help me!
Kaise Chakkar Mein Pad Gaya
What mess have I fallen into?
Haye Haye Haye
Oh no… oh no…
Kahan Jaan Phansai
Where have I trapped my life?
Main Toh Sooli Pe Chadh Gaya
Feels like I’m hanging on the gallows
Haye Haye Haye
Oh no… oh no…
Kaisa Seedha Saada
Main Kaisa Bhola Bhala
I was such an innocent and simple man
Arey Kaisa Seedha Saada
Main Kaisa Bhola Bhala
Yes, so naïve and pure-hearted
Jaane Kaun Ghadi Mein
Pad Gaya Padhe Likhon Se Pala
Don’t know in which moment I crossed paths with clever people
Meethi Chhuri Se
Meethi Chhuri Se Hua Halaal
Got cut by a sweet knife
Chhora Ganga Kinare Wala
The boy from the Ganga ghats
O Chhora Ganga Kinare Wala
That same Ganga-side boy
O Khaike Paan Banaras Wala
Khul Jaye Band Akal Ka Tala
Chewing Banaras paan opens the mind’s lock
Ek Kanya Kunwari
Humri Surat Pe Mar Gayi
A young unmarried girl fell for my face
Haye Haye Haye
Oh dear… oh dear…
Ek Meethi Kataari
Humre Dil Mein Utar Gayi
A sweet dagger pierces my heart
Kaisi Gori Gori
O Tikhi Tikhi Chhori Wah Wah
Such a fair beauty, such a sharp girl — wow!
Arey Kaisi Gori Gori
O Tikhi Tikhi Chhori
What a fair and fiery girl
Kar Ke Jora-Jori
Kar Gayi Humre Dil Ki Chori
Teamed up and stole my heart
O Mili Chhori Toh
Mili Chhori Toh Hua Nihaal
When I met her, my life felt blessed
Chhora Ganga Kinare Wala
The boy from Ganga bank
O Chhora Ganga Kinare Wala
That Ganga-side boy
O Khaike Paan Banaras Wala
Khul Jaye Band Akal Ka Tala
Banaras paan opens up the jammed mind
O Khaike Paan Banaras Wala
Khul Jaye Band Akal Ka Tala
Chewing it unlocks wisdom again
Phir Toh Aisa Kare Dhamaal
Seedhi Kar De Sab Ki Chaal
Then watch the grand madness — correcting everyone’s style
O Chhora Ganga Kinare Wala
O Chhora Ganga Kinare Wala
O Chhora Ganga Kinare Wala
Oh that boy from the Ganga shore
