iss jag ke vishal pinjre me
laakhon panchhi bhatak rahe
kahi gagan paataal kahi
are bich me ham sab latak rahe waah re dayaalu
waah waah re dayalu, are waah re dayalu
waah waah re dayalu aaha
waah re dayalu, waah waah re dayalu
are waah re dayalu, waah waah re dayalu
dhanya chamatkar tera dhanya hai jaadu
waah re dayalu, waah waah re dayalu
are waah re dayalu, waah waah re dayalu

samajh me na aaye naath maaya tihari
naath maaya tihari are ho
samajh me na aaye naath maaya tihari
khub hamen tune nachaaya hai madari
are khub hame tune nachaya hai madari
nachaaya hai madari, dol uthe ham
are dol uthe ham to sunkar tera damru
are waah re dayalu, waah waah re dayalu
are waah re dayalu, waah waah re dayalu

khelta hai kyu hamse aankh michauli
prabhu aankh michauli are ho
khelta hai kyu, khelta hai kyu hamse aankh michauli
teri diwaali me hamari huyi holi
are teri diwaali me hamari huyi holi
hamari huyi holi, tu bada ustaad hai
guruo ka bhi guru
waah re dayalu, waah waah re dayalu
are waah re dayalu, waah waah re dayalu

chaaro taraf panchhiyo ka lag raha mela
chaaron taraf
chaaro taraf panchhiyo ka lag rahaa mela are ho
chaaro taraf panchhiyo ka lag rahaa mela
tune to is mele me hamko bhi dhakela are
tune to is mele me hamko bhi dhakela
haay hamko bhi dhakela, ham to kaha ye kaha
khench laya tu
waah re dayalu are waah re dayalu
are waah re dayalu are waah re dayalu
dhanya chamatkar tera dhanya hai jaadu
waah re dayalu, waah waah re dayalu
ha ha ha are waah re dayalu
waah waah re dayalu

In this vast cage of the world,
Millions of birds, astray they swirl.
From heavens high to depths below,
We hang suspended, to and fro.
Oh, Merciful One!

Awe, awe, Merciful One!
Awe, Merciful One!
Awe, awe, Merciful One!
Blessed is your wonder, your magic's art.
Awe, awe, Merciful One!
Awe, Merciful One!

We cannot grasp, Lord, your illusion's weave,
Your illusion's weave!
We cannot grasp, Lord, your illusion's weave,
Like puppets, you make us dance, we believe!
Dance, you make us dance!
Our souls now sway,
As your drum's echo rings each day.
Awe, awe, Merciful One!
Awe, Merciful One!

Why do you play hide-and-seek with us?
Lord, hide-and-seek!
Why do you play, why do you play hide-and-seek?
In your Diwali, our Holi's bleak.
Our Holi's bleak, you are the master's hand,
The guru of gurus, across the land.
Awe, awe, Merciful One!
Awe, Merciful One!

A fair of birds, on every side,
On every side!
A fair of birds, on every side,
In this fair, you pushed us to ride!
You pushed us to ride!
Where are we, where?
You drew us here!
Awe, Merciful One!
Awe, Merciful One!
Blessed is your wonder, your magic's art.
Awe, awe, Merciful One!
Yes, yes, yes, Awe, Merciful One!
Awe, awe, Merciful One!
