o nacho ghum ghum, ghum ghum ghum ke
o gao jhum jhum, jhum jhum jhum ke
yaro kam se kam sare din ka gum
bhulo pyala chum ke

bhul jana zamane ko shaan se
ye hum jaise hi masto ka kaam hai
jhum jana mohobat ke naam pe
ye hum jaise hi masto ka kam hai
aji khao piyo bas yu hi jiyo
o nacho ghum ghum ghum ghum ghum ke
o gao jhum jhum jhum jhum jhum ke
yaro kam se kam sare din ka gham
bhulo pyala chum ke

mat socho hai bhari ye zindgi
gaati hai suno kya ye dil ki dhun
maza le lo tumhari hai zindgi
pukaarti hai kya ye tumhe ye dil ki dhun
is dhun ke lay badhti chale
are han matwalo dhum se
o nacho ghum ghum, ghum ghum ghum ke
o gao jhum jhum, jhum jhum jhum ke
yaro kam se kam sare din ka gum
bhulo pyala chum ke

Spin and sway, in a whirling dance,
Sing aloud, in joyful trance.
Friends, let the day's sorrows cease,
Kiss the goblet, find your peace.

Forget the world with graceful ease,
This is the way of the free, if you please.
Sway with love's sweet melody,
This is the way of the free, you see.
Eat, drink, and simply be,
Oh, spin and sway, eternally.
Friends, let the day's sorrows cease,
Kiss the goblet, find your peace.

Don't ponder life's heavy plight,
Listen close to the heart's delight.
Savor the life that is your own,
Hear the heart's calling, softly blown.
Let the rhythm ever increase,
Oh, ye revelers, find release.
Oh, spin and sway, in a whirling dance,
Sing aloud, in joyful trance.
Friends, let the day's sorrows cease,
Kiss the goblet, find your peace.
