bane pujari premi saaqi
ganga jal pawan hala
rahe ferta avirat gati se
madhu ke pyalo ki mala
aur liye ja aur peeye ja
aur liye ja aur peeye ja
isi mantr ka jaap kare
main shiv ki pratima ban baithu
main shiv ki pratima ban baithu
mandir ho ye madhushala
main shiv ki pratima ban baithu
mandir ho ye madhushala

Become the priest, the lover, the cupbearer,
With Ganga's water, the sacred wine.
Spin endlessly, in a tireless dance,
A garland of honeyed chalices divine.

Take more, drink deep, and still take more,
Take more, drink deep, and never cease.
Chant only this, with fervent soul,
I will become Shiva, finding peace.

I will become Shiva, in this space,
Let this tavern be my holy shrine.
I will become Shiva, in this place,
Let this tavern be, forever, mine.
