jina hai kya jina hai kya jina hai
kya koi kya jane
o diwane jhum le khushi me
jiya chum le hansi me
kya hai aur zindagi mere yaro
hole hole jiya dole dole dole
aaja hole hole hole
o dilruba dilruba aa bhi ja
dil lagi bekhudi hai yahi zindagi
koi bahana dhund le pyar ka daman chum le
aur bin piye ghume ja jina hai kya koi kya jane
o diwane jhum le khushi me jiya chum le hansi mse
kya hai aur zindagi mere yaro
hole hole jiya dole dole dole
aaja hole hole hole o dilruba dilruba aa bhi ja

rut jawa dil jawa kah bhi le dasta
abhi se kyu majbur hai abhi sawera dur hai
dil ki sama na bujha jina hai kya koi kya jane
o diwane jhum le khushi me jiya chum le hansi me
kya hai aur zindagi mere yaro hole hole jiya dole dole dole
aaja hole hole hole o dilruba dilruba aa bhi ja

To live, is what it is to live?
What knows anyone?
O mad one, sway in joy,
Kiss life in laughter.
What else is life, my friends?
Slowly, the heart sways, sways, sways.
Come, slowly, slowly, slowly.
O beloved, beloved, do come.
Love's intoxication, this is life.
Find a reason, embrace love's garment.
And without a drink, wander on.
To live, is what it is to live?
What knows anyone?
O mad one, sway in joy,
Kiss life in laughter.
What else is life, my friends?
Slowly, the heart sways, sways, sways.
Come, slowly, slowly, slowly.
O beloved, beloved, do come.

The season is young, the heart is young, tell the tale.
Why so constrained now? The dawn is far.
Do not extinguish the heart's flame.
To live, is what it is to live?
What knows anyone?
O mad one, sway in joy,
Kiss life in laughter.
What else is life, my friends?
Slowly, the heart sways, sways, sways.
Come, slowly, slowly, slowly.
O beloved, beloved, do come.
