dil tuk tuk vekhe kuch samajh na aave
ni mai hasda java o mai kitthe jawa
etthe utthe bach bach ke mai dekho hun kinj phasiya
dhobi da kutta banke ho mai dum daba ke nasiya
mast kalandar mai baniya mast kalandar
oye mast kalandar mai baniya mast kalandar
oye mast kalandar mai baniya mast kalandar
mast kalandar mai baniya mast kalandar

mai to haji paji zara sun lo na ji
oye khab khab ke tu na umar gawa ji
gal te yara mai kitti te tu hun kyu vich hasiya
dhobi da kutta banke ho mai dum daba ke nasiya
mast kalandar mai baniya mast kalandar
mast kalander mai baniya mast kalander
o mast kalandar mai baniya mast kalandar
ho mast kalandar mai baniya mast kalandar
mast kalandar mai baniya mast kalandar

or badalte sun lena hun mainu tu bacha
ae okkhi sokhi duniya teri tainu te pata
tauba meri tu mere te mai tere dil vich vasiya
dhobi da kutta banke ho mai dum daba ke nasiya
mast kalandar mai baniya mast kalandar
oye mast kalandar mai baniya mast kalandar
mast kalandar mai baniya mast kalandar
mast kalander mai baniya mast kalander ho

chhad de duniya ki galla ja roti shoti kha
aive hi tu sad sad ke na apna bheja kha
dekh suna ke bulleshah mai apni dhun vich chaliya
dhobi da kutta banke ho mai dum daba ke nasiya
mast kalandar mai baniya mast kalandar
aye mast kalandar mai baniya mast kalandar
haye mast kalandar mai baniya mast kalandar
mast kalandar mai baniya mast kalandar

The heart shatters, gazes, understands naught,
Laughing I wander, where do I depart?
Here, there, evading, how entangled I've grown,
Like a washerman's hound, tail tucked, fleeing alone.
I am a mad dervish, I am a mad dervish,
Oh, I am a mad dervish, I am a mad dervish,
I am a mad dervish, I am a mad dervish,
I am a mad dervish, I am a mad dervish.

From the pious, the worldly, a plea I impart,
Oh, do not squander your life, tearing your heart.
I spoke truth, my friend, why now do you sneer?
Like a washerman's hound, tail tucked, filled with fear.
I am a mad dervish, I am a mad dervish,
I am a mad dervish, I am a mad dervish,
Oh, I am a mad dervish, I am a mad dervish,
I am a mad dervish, I am a mad dervish,
I am a mad dervish, I am a mad dervish.

And as change unfolds, now listen and save,
This world's easy, hard, your truth you engrave.
My repentance, you dwell within my core,
Like a washerman's hound, tail tucked, evermore.
I am a mad dervish, I am a mad dervish,
Oh, I am a mad dervish, I am a mad dervish,
I am a mad dervish, I am a mad dervish,
I am a mad dervish, I am a mad dervish.

Leave the world's whispers, find sustenance's grace,
Don't fester, and ruin your own mind's space.
Hear Bulleh Shah's song, in my own tune, I tread,
Like a washerman's hound, tail tucked, filled with dread.
I am a mad dervish, I am a mad dervish,
Oh, I am a mad dervish, I am a mad dervish,
I am a mad dervish, I am a mad dervish,
I am a mad dervish, I am a mad dervish.
