The smoke of self, the hemp, the leaf, the ash,
And Bihar's brew, a potent, fiery splash.
These five, a warrior's pride, a common grace,
Do you grasp, Mangru, in this smoky space?

With Shiva's name upon your lips you drink,
And feel the spirit rise, the soul to think.
Then watch, and witness what the smoke reveals,
As Shiva's drumbeat all creation feels.
The world will dance, the universe will sway,
With Shiva's drumbeat, at the close of day.
With Shiva's name upon your lips you drink,

Listen now, uncles, aunties, kin of mine,
And you, Mangru, heed this sacred sign.
And you, young maiden, lend a listening ear,
Lest you be pushed, and find your ruin near.
Your aches and pains, your fever's fiery sting,
Will fade away, and from your mind will spring.
The world will dance, the universe will sway,
With Shiva's drumbeat, at the close of day.
With Shiva's name upon your lips you drink,

Then blend with almond, date, and golden grace,
And grind the mixture in this sacred place.
Drink deep, and let the joyous feeling surge,
And dance, in rhythm, to life's mystic urge.
The aged soul will find a youthful fire,
And old man's thoughts become a young desire.
The world will dance, the universe will sway,
With Shiva's drumbeat, at the close of day.
With Shiva's name upon your lips you drink,
Then watch, and witness what the smoke reveals,
As Shiva's drumbeat all creation feels.
The world will dance, the universe will sway,
With Shiva's drumbeat, at the close of day.
The world will dance, the universe will sway,
With Shiva's drumbeat, at the close of day.
With Shiva's name upon your lips you drink,
Jai Ho!
