o jab talak dam me dam
dam lagate raho
jab talak dam me dam
dam lagate raho
khud peeyo aur sabko peelate raho
jab talak dam me dam
dam lagate raho
hare rama rama o hare krishna krishna
o hare rama rama
rama rama rama rama
hare rama rama o hare krishna krishna
o hare rama rama
rama rama rama rama
ho jab talak dam me dam
dam lagate raho

dhua dhua raat hai
masti bhari har baat hai
dama re dama re dama
dugna hoga nasha
kyuki husn bhi sath hai
aag ke phul bhi
tum khilte raho
jab talak dam me dam
dam lagate raho
hare rama rama o hare krishna krishna
o hare rama rama
rama rama rama rama
ho jab talak dam me dam
dam lagate raho

kahan kahan jaoge
kahin kuch na paoge
dama re dama re dama
milega dil ko suku
jab chilam sulgaoge
ek jalate raho ek bujhate raho
jab talak dam me dam
dam lagate raho
hare rama rama o hare krishna krishna
o hare rama rama
rama rama rama rama
ho jab talak dam me dam
dam lagate raho

khoyi khoyi zindagi
manzil par aayegi
dama re dama re dama
peete raho umar bhar
ye bhi to hai bandgi
husn hai samne
lau lagate raho
jab talak dam me dam
dam lagate raho
khud peeyo aur sabko peelate raho
jab talak dam me dam
dam lagate raho
jab talak dam me dam
dam lagate raho
jab talak dam me dam
dam lagate raho

While breath remains, let the rhythm reside,
Drink deep, and offer the cup, far and wide.
While breath remains, let the rhythm reside,
Hare Rama Rama, Hare Krishna Krishna,
Hare Rama Rama, Rama Rama Rama Rama,
Hare Rama Rama, Hare Krishna Krishna,
Hare Rama Rama, Rama Rama Rama Rama,
Oh, while breath remains, let the rhythm reside.

Smoke-veiled the night, where ecstasy thrives,
The smoke, the smoke, the intoxication now doubles,
For beauty entwines, and fire-blooms bloom,
Bloom on, dear heart, while breath takes its time,
Let the rhythm reside, Hare Rama Rama, Hare Krishna Krishna,
Hare Rama Rama, Rama Rama Rama Rama,
Oh, while breath remains, let the rhythm reside.

Where will you wander, and what will you find?
The smoke, the smoke, peace for the heart,
When the pipe is lit, one to ignite, one to quell,
While breath remains, let the rhythm reside,
Hare Rama Rama, Hare Krishna Krishna,
Hare Rama Rama, Rama Rama Rama Rama,
Oh, while breath remains, let the rhythm reside.

Lost is the life, but the journey will reach,
The smoke, the smoke, drink it through the years,
This is devotion, where beauty attends,
Keep the flame lit, while breath takes its time,
Let the rhythm reside, drink deep, and offer the cup, far and wide,
While breath remains, let the rhythm reside.
