Gulzaar Chhaniwala’s Tandav Lyrics Translation
The lyrics build a persona of untouchable power. The narrator contrasts an opponent’s social media “Reels” with the “Rail” of destruction he will cause. He states his crew has no fear of Yamraj, the god of death, because they are protected by Mahakal.
Dar Jagah Jagah Pe DikhhegaYou’ll see fear in every single place
Re Jade Jade Hum JaawangeWherever we decide to go
Tu Raakh Taiyaari Arthi KiYou should start preparing your funeral bier
Tera Kafan Banake LyawangeWe’ll arrive with your shroud already made
Entry Pe Dharti HallegiThe earth itself will tremble at our entrance
Teri Link Ki Ek Na ChallegiNot a single one of your connections will work
Poori Yaad Mein Ghee Sa GhaalegiWe’ll pour ‘ghee’ on the flames of your memory
Mahaul Bana DyangeWe’ll create an unforgettable scene
Na Chhed Aghori NeDon’t provoke the ‘Aghori’. (‘Aghori’ – an ascetic devotee of Shiva)
Tandav Bhi Dikha DyangeWe’ll show you a ‘Tandav’ as well. (‘Tandav’ – Shiva’s cosmic dance of destruction)
Tu Reel Bananda Reh JagaYou’ll be left just making short videos
Hum Rail Bana DyangeAnd we’ll unleash an unstoppable chain of events
Re Na Chhed Aghori NeDon’t provoke the ‘Aghori’.
Tandav Bhi Dikha DyangeWe’ll show you a ‘Tandav’ as well.
Tu Reel Bananda Reh JagaYou’ll be left just making short videos
Hum Rail Bana DyangeAnd we’ll unleash an unstoppable chain of events
Na Bhai Padiye Na Chakkar MeinBrother, don’t get yourself involved
Na Koi Door Door Takkar MeinThere’s no one around who can even compete
Re Na Chaale Ghani Akad MeinSo don’t walk around with so much arrogance
Nikde Saans Ek Lappad MeinOne slap from us will knock your breath away
Na Bhai Padiye Na Chakkar MeinFriend, don’t make the mistake of crossing us
Na Koi Door Door Takkar MeinNo one here is even in our league
Re Na Chaale Ghani Akad MeinSo stop walking with that conceited swagger
Nikde Saans Ek Lappad MeinA single slap is enough to take your life
Bhaukal Macha Ke Dhar RaakhyaWe’ve already established our dominance
Poore Seher Mein Dhoomma Kar RaakhyaWe’ve caused an uproar through the entire city
Mahakal Bachaway Yaara Ne‘Mahakal’ protects my friends. (‘Mahakal’ – a fierce form of Lord Shiva)
Yamraj Ka Na Koi Dar RaakhyaWe hold no fear of ‘Yamraj’. (‘Yamraj’ – the god of death)
Laye Maut Ki Gelya Fere SeWe have taken vows with death itself
Poori Raakh Te Dhak Reh Chehre SeOur faces are completely covered in ash
Rishikesh Laa Re Dere SeWe’ve set up our camp in ‘Rishikesh’. (‘Rishikesh’ – a holy city)
Tanne Darsh Kara DyangeAnd we’ll grant you a divine sight
Re Na Chhed Aghori NeDon’t provoke the ‘Aghori’.
Tandav Bhi Dikha DyangeWe’ll show you a ‘Tandav’ as well.
Tu Reel Bananda Reh JagaYou’ll be left just making short videos
Hum Rail Bana DyangeAnd we’ll unleash an unstoppable chain of events
Tu Kade Sochi Na HogiSomething you could never have imagined
Ho Teri Gelya Bana DyangeIs exactly what we’ll do to you
Tu Reel Bananda Reh JagaYou’ll be left just making short videos
Hum Rail Bana DyangeAnd we’ll unleash an unstoppable chain of events
Posham Pa Bhai Posham PaRing around the rosie, brother
Tu Jade Bhi Dikhe Hum DikhaWherever you’re seen, we will appear
Manne Paad Jo Aa Gaya Darr JaagaYou’d be terrified by the slightest sound I make
Je Haath Laga Diya Mar JaagaIf I so much as lay a hand on you, you’ll die
Re Sunn Mitar Oye Sunn MitarHey, listen friend, oh listen here
Bhai Maut Te Bhidna Fun KonyaBrother, clashing with death is no game
Bhai Pyar Kamaya Dhan KonyaWe’ve earned love, not wealth
Mahra Aaj Ladan Ko Mann KonyaAnd we’re not in the mood to fight today
The track builds through repetition of its central warning not to provoke the Aghori. This structure ties the narrator’s confidence to a spiritual identity instead of physical strength. The lyrics’ meaning is found in this connection, claiming power from the divine protection of Mahakal.
