hey baba re baba hey baba re baba ye kya ho gaya
aankhe hai jagi tan so gaya
jab aa gaya nasha to hosh kho gaya
jab aa gaya nasha to hosh kho gaya
hey baba re baba baba re baba ye kya ho gaya
aankhe hai jagi tan so gaya
jab aa gaya nasha to hosh kho gaya
jab aa gaya nasha to hosh kho gaya hey baba re baba

ye duniya bahki hai ya hum hai bahke
khushbu sunayi de aawaz mahke
pedo pe machali bsera kare pani me chidiyo ki dhum
sadke lachakti hai care pighalti hai aise me paidal hi ghum
he baba re baba baba re baba ye kya ho gaya
aankhe hai jagi tan so gaya
jab aa gaya nasha to hosh kho gaya
jab aa gaya nasha to hosh kho gaya re baba re baba

building se lipti hai sadiya ghodo ke aage hai gadiya
building se lipti hai sadiya ghodo ke aage hai gadiya
raste khud chal pade dekha kiye hum tum khade
baba re baba baba re baba ye kya ho gaya
aankhe hai jagi tan so gaya
jab aa gaya nasha to hosh kho gaya
jab aa gaya nasha to hosh kho gaya re baba re baba

kagaj ke ghar or pathar ke kapde sone ke hathi hai chiti ne pakde
shishe ke galiyo me ugne lage khambo pe juhi ke phul
ek billi roti hai tab rat hoti hai tu aisi bate na bhul
baba re baba baba re baba ye kya ho gaya
aankhe hai jagi tan so gaya
jab aa gaya nasha to hosh kho gaya
jab aa gaya nasha to hosh kho gaya re baba re baba

Oh Father, oh Father, what has become?
Eyes are awake, the body numb.
When the intoxication arrives, senses succumb,
When the intoxication arrives, senses succumb.
Oh Father, oh Father, what has become?
Eyes are awake, the body numb.
When the intoxication arrives, senses succumb,
When the intoxication arrives, senses succumb.

Is the world astray, or are we lost in the maze?
Fragrance is heard, voices in a haze.
Fish find refuge in trees, in water birds' melodies,
The roads undulate, cars melt with ease, let's wander, you and me.
Oh Father, oh Father, what has become?
Eyes are awake, the body numb.
When the intoxication arrives, senses succumb,
When the intoxication arrives, senses succumb.

Saris entwine with the towers so tall,
Cars lead the steeds, answering the call.
Paths take a step forward, watching you and I standing there.
Oh Father, oh Father, what has become?
Eyes are awake, the body numb.
When the intoxication arrives, senses succumb,
When the intoxication arrives, senses succumb.

Paper houses, stone clothes to adorn,
Golden elephants, by ants are borne.
In glass-walled streets, lamps begin to bloom,
A jasmine flower atop the gloom.
A cat weeps, and then night descends. Never forget this tune.
Oh Father, oh Father, what has become?
Eyes are awake, the body numb.
When the intoxication arrives, senses succumb,
When the intoxication arrives, senses succumb.
