Luk chup ke-mein ghoumi, ghali ghali
Kahin mila nahin mera piya
Khil khil ke hasdi kali kali
Par khila nahin mera jiya
Meri itni kahani, meri hay ye pareshaani
Kabhie aye koi aye koi bole maine dil diya
Dhund rahi houn mein aisa deewa ana
Thordasa pagala, thorda siana (2) Repeat above
Ha mujhse karen who aake, pyari pyari baaten Chahere ko chand kahede, zulfon urdate
Milne who jo aye, bole haaye meri ja ana
Dil mein tardap te hai, tere hi armaan
Mei tera diwana hun, tun jo maange jaan dedun (2)
Bigroun to karde, sharoun haslaana
Thorda sa pagala, thorda siana (2)
Luk repeat top
Han, kabhi laake de vo khutka, mujhe vo upal ka
Kabhi leke aye lenga, vo nainitaal ka
Bareli who jaye, to vo laaye sur medaani
Lucknow se lei aye, kurta kamadani
Banaras agar jaayen, sari leke hi ayen (2)
Puchhe Delhi se hai, kya mangwana Thorada sa pagala, thorda siana (2)
Luk chup ke-mein ghoumi, ghali ghali
Kahin mila nahin mera piya
Khil khil ke hasdi kali kali
Par khila nahin mera jiya
Meri itni kahani, meri hay ye pareshaani
Kabhie aye koi aye koi bole maine dil diya
Dhund rahi houn mein aisa deewa ana
Thordasa pagala, thorda siana (2)

Overall Meaning:
The lyrics to Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan's "Thoda Sa Pagla" are in Hindi and depict a woman who is madly in love with her partner but feels like he does not reciprocate the same level of emotion. She is hiding her feelings and is hoping that her partner understands how deeply she feels for him. The first verse describes how she is laughing and smiling but her heart is not feeling the same way. She is searching for someone who will understand her pain and emotions. The second verse talks about how whenever her partner talks to her, she enjoys his sweet words and longs for his company. The chorus contains the lines "Thoda Sa Pagla Thoda Sa Siana" which means a little bit crazy and a little bit shrewd, indicating how her emotions have made her a little bit irrational.
