The lyrics of Asha Bhosle/R.D. Burman's song Dum Maro Dum revolve around celebrating life and letting go of worries and sorrows. The opening line, "Dum Maro Dum Mit Jaaye Gham" loosely translates to "Take a deep breath and let go of all your sorrows." The song encourages listeners to chant the names of Lord Krishna and Lord Rama, and to not worry about the world or what it has given or taken from them.
The second verse is a call to detachment from worldly possessions and concerns. The lyrics ask why one should care about what the world has given or taken from them when we all should be concerned with our own spiritual journeys. The repetition of "Hare Krishna Hare Rama" signifies the power of the divine to overcome all our troubles and worries.
