nachde ve kandhe tere, nachda ve mera seena
dhoyenge imaan kaise dil ke dono nabi na
nachda kufra, nachda shukra
nachda ve banda tera, nachda ve mera auliya
nachda kufra, nachda shukra
nachda ve banda tera, nachda ve mera auliya

oh nachde ve ashq ye mere nachda ve ishq tumhara
chanda bhi todke tare nachda ve maara mara
nachda baadal, nachda sawan nachda aankhon ka kajal
nachda gash kha ke aasman nachda baadal, nachda sawan
nachda aankhon ka kajal nachda gash kha ke aasman

maine to hanske sau tukde haan khudke kar dale mere aaka
maine to ghiske rang mere rang tere rang daala apna safa
tu sitaron mein zameeno mein tuhi to maula har tarfa
marke maine zameeron ko mana bas ek taraf hai qaba

nachde ve kandhe mere, nachda ve tera seena
dhoyenge imaan kaise dil ke dono naabi na
kufra vi nachda, shukra vi nachda
nachda ve banda tera, nachda ve mera auliya
moon bhi nachda, meen bhi nachda
nachda ve deen o duniya nachda gash kha ke aasman

ho sach main te keh na paunga
sach tu seh na payega ve mere sain
naam pe tere jaan deta jaunga ve mere sain
ho sach main te keh na paunga
sach tu seh na payega ve mere saain
naam pe tere jaan deta jaunga ve mere sain

nachda ve chulha mera nachda ve choka tera
bujhte bujhte ve pooche tootega kab ye fanka
bhukh vi nachdi, pyaas vi nachdi
nachdi ve aag ye meri nachdi ve teri rotiyan
pyali nachdi, pyala nachda nachda ve haala mera
nachda gash kha ke aaasman

My shoulders dance, yours in the sway,
How shall we cleanse the heart's deep bay?

Blasphemy dances, gratitude too,
Your devotee dances, my saint anew.
Blasphemy dances, gratitude too,
Your devotee dances, my saint anew.

Oh, my tears they dance, a flowing stream,
Your love, it dances, a vibrant gleam.
Breaking stars from the moonlit night,
I stumble, lost, in your radiant light.

Clouds now dance, and the monsoon's call,
The kohl in my eyes, embracing all.
The heavens reel, a dizzying height,
Clouds now dance, and the monsoon's light,
The kohl in my eyes, embracing all.
The heavens reel, a dizzying height.

With laughter, I shattered into a hundred parts,
Oh, my Master, rending my own heart.
Grinding my hues, I found a way,
To dye my turban in your display.
In stars you dwell, in the earth below,
You are the Lord, in every show.
I silenced my conscience, I gave it rest,
Acknowledging the Kaaba, the one I blessed.

My shoulders dance, yours in the sway,
How shall we cleanse the heart's deep bay?
Blasphemy dances, gratitude too,
Your devotee dances, my saint anew.
The moon dances, the fish in the deep,
The world and faith in motion, to keep.
The heavens reel, a dizzying height.

Truth, I cannot speak, it's true,
Truth, you could not bear, it's true.
For your name, my life I'd give, it's true.
Truth, I cannot speak, it's true,
Truth, you could not bear, it's true.
For your name, my life I'd give, it's true.

My hearth now dances, with a fiery plea,
Your kitchen dances, wild and free.
Will this fast break, this burning thirst,
Hunger now dances, thirst is cursed.
My fire dances, your bread I see.
The cup now dances, my wine to be,
My soul now dances, with a dizzying height,
The heavens reel, a dizzying sight.
