ho kis ki chali hai kis ki chalegi
kiski chali hai kah gaye baat ye sachi jhule lalan
jag jara soch jara lagega sabka number
dama dam mast kalandar
aaj hai koi bahar to kal vo hoga andar
ho kis ki chali hai kis ki chalegi

ghumega jab vaqt ka pehiya
o ghumega jab vaqt ka pehiya
karte phiroge tum ta ta thaiya
baat pate ki baat pate ki
baat pate ki kaisi kah gaye pyare jhule lalan
phulo ka kanto ka badalta rahe kalandar
dama dam mast kalandar
aaj hai koi bahar to kal vo hoga andhar
ho kis ki chali hai kis ki chalegi

aaj lagi jo ye hathkadiya o aaj lagi jo ye hathkadiya
kal vo banegi sehre ki ladiya taaj bhi pani laaj bhi pani
taaj bhi pani keh gaye baat ye bhole jhule lalan
jaan bachao khair manao banega jo bhi sikandar
vo hoga ek din andar banega jo bhi sikandar
vo hoga ek din andar dama dam mast kalandar
aaj hai koi bahar to kal vo hoga andhar
ho kis ki chali hai kis ki chalegi

kiski chali hai kah gaye baat ye sachi jhule lalan
jag jara soch jara lagega sabka number
dama dam mast kalandar dama dam mast kalandar
aaj hai koi bahar to kal vo hoga andhar
dama dam mast kalandar dama dam mast kalandar
dama dam mast kalandar dama dam mast kalandar
dama dam mast kalandar
dama dam mast kalandar kalandar

Whose reign endures, whose time will fade?
So sang the truthful Jhoole Lalan,
The world, consider, ponder, each will know their turn,
Dum Dum Mast Qalandar.
Today's bloom, tomorrow's shadowed keep,
Whose reign endures, whose time will fade?

As the wheel of fortune turns and spins,
As the wheel of fortune turns and spins,
You'll dance your frantic, empty jig,
A lesson learned, a whispered truth,
A lesson learned, how wise the words,
Spoke dear Jhoole Lalan,
The bloom gives way, the thorns arise, a changing face,
Qalandar, Qalandar.
Today's bloom, tomorrow's shadowed keep,
Whose reign endures, whose time will fade?

Today, the chains, a heavy weight,
Today, the chains, a heavy weight,
Tomorrow, garlands for the wedding,
Crown of glory, shame of water,
Crown of glory, so they say, gentle Jhoole Lalan,
Save your soul, and hope for grace,
For even conquerors, time will bind,
For even conquerors, time will bind,
Dum Dum Mast Qalandar.
Today's bloom, tomorrow's shadowed keep,
Whose reign endures, whose time will fade?

So sang the truthful Jhoole Lalan,
The world, consider, ponder, each will know their turn,
Dum Dum Mast Qalandar, Dum Dum Mast Qalandar.
Today's bloom, tomorrow's shadowed keep,
Dum Dum Mast Qalandar, Dum Dum Mast Qalandar.
Dum Dum Mast Qalandar, Dum Dum Mast Qalandar.
Dum Dum Mast Qalandar.
Dum Dum Mast Qalandar Qalandar.
