Lyrics transliterated:

Dam Maaro Dam Mit Jaaye Gham; Bolo Subh Shaam Hare Krishna Hare Raam

Hare Krishna, Hare Raam; Hare Krishna, Hare Raam; Hare Krishna, Hare Raam

Dam Maaro Dam Mit Jaaye Gham; Bolo Subh Shaam Hare Krishna Hare Raam

Hare Krishna, Hare Raam; Hare Krishna, Hare Raam; Hare Krishna, Hare Raam

Duniya Ne Humko Diya Kya Duniya Se Humne Liya Kya; Hum Sab Ki Parwah Kare Kyu Sab Ne Hamaara Kiya Kya

Duniya Ne Humko Diya Kya Duniya Se Humne Liya Kya; Hum Sab Ki Parwah Kare Kyu Sab Ne Hamaara Kiya Kya

Dam Maaro Dam Mit Jaaye Gham; Bolo Subh Shaam Hare Krishna Hare Raam

Hare Krishna, Hare Raam; Hare Krishna, Hare Raam; Hare Krishna, Hare Raam
