tere sau sau dasi daas rahe, mere ik bhi dasi daas nahi
kya ke saare ji laavegi, satranj chhopad taas nahi
tu syaal dusale odhan aali, mera kambal tak bhi paas nahi
tu baaghan ki koyal se adde, baraf pade hari ghas nahi
tu sahukari gujare aali, main khasi kotte aala su

main avdoot darasni baba, raag dekh ke darr jaagi
pach dhuneya ke bich tappu meri, aag dekh ke dar jaagi
main to raakh ghol ke piya karu
mera bhaag dekh ke darr jaagi
mere so so naag pade rahe ghar me, naag dekhke dar jaagi
ek kar mandal ek katora, main foote lotte aala su
bhang ragad ke re, bhang ragad ke re
bhang ragad ke piya karu mai kundi sotte aala su

joon sa khel khilana chaho, khel khilana thik nahi
jiski dono dhar ho paani, sale chalana thik nahi
mai bhaang dhatura piya karu, manne tel pilana thik nahi
mange ram boch marjangi main jabar bharote aala su
bhang ragad ke re, bhang ragad ke re
bhang ragad ke piya karu mai kundi sotte aala su
bhang ragad ke piya karu mai kundi sotte aala su
bhang ragad ke piya karu mai kundi sotte aala su

You, a princess of royal decree,
I, a pauper in loincloth's decree.
I grind the hashish, my only release,
In mortar and pestle, I find my peace.
I grind the hashish, my only release,
In mortar and pestle, I find my peace.
I grind the hashish, my only release,
In mortar and pestle, I find my peace.
I grind the hashish, my only release,
In mortar and pestle, I find my peace.
You grind the hashish, my only release,
In mortar and pestle, I find my peace.

Your court swarms with a hundred servants' eyes,
I possess not even one to patronize.
How will you ever find joy in my plight,
In chess and dice, you won't last the night.
You drape in shawls of silken grace,
I own no blanket, no warm embrace.
You sing like a cuckoo in gardens so grand,
While I shiver where frozen grass can't stand.
You live a life of opulent degree,
I am but a beggar, eternally.
I grind the hashish, oh, I grind it so,
In mortar and pestle, my solace will grow.
I grind the hashish, my only release,
In mortar and pestle, I find my peace.
I grind the hashish, my only release,
In mortar and pestle, I find my peace.
I grind the hashish, my only release,
In mortar and pestle, I find my peace.

I, a hermit, a seeker of the divine,
Fear the vision you may find mine.
In the world's vastness, I am a speck,
Fear the fire, the shadows that wreck.
I drink of ash, my sustenance so deep,
Fear the fate that I'm bound to keep.
A hundred serpents coil within my home,
Fear the serpents, where I roam.
One begging bowl, a broken gourd,
I am a wanderer, forever ignored.
I grind the hashish, oh, I grind it so,
In mortar and pestle, my solace will grow.
I grind the hashish, my only release,
In mortar and pestle, I find my peace.
I grind the hashish, my only release,
In mortar and pestle, I find my peace.
I grind the hashish, my only release,
In mortar and pestle, I find my peace.

Why unite with the royal, so they say?
This union, they claim, won't light the way.
You wish to play a game of the sun?
Such a game, they say, is never done.
Where both blades cut through watery space,
Such swordplay is never a safe place.
I drink of bhang and the datura's art,
They say oil is not for my heart.
Maange Ram will die in this embrace,
I am but a beggar in this desolate place.
I grind the hashish, oh, I grind it so,
In mortar and pestle, my solace will grow.
I grind the hashish, my only release,
In mortar and pestle, I find my peace.
I grind the hashish, my only release,
In mortar and pestle, I find my peace.
I grind the hashish, my only release,
In mortar and pestle, I find my peace.
