अरे आजा, झूम
नाचेगा दीवाना तो देखेगा ज़माना
हमारी सूफियाना सी पार्टियां
अरे आजा, झूम
अरे आजा, झूम
हो नाचेगा दीवाना तो देखेगा ज़माना
हमारी सूफियाना सी पार्टियां
फिकर भुला के तू कमर हिला के
आ नच ले मेरे संग साथिया
कोई मुझे रोको ज़रा
नच नच के हार्ट का बीट बढ़ेया
मैनु चढ़ेया डांस का
मैनु चढ़ेया डांस का भूत चढ़ेया
मैनु चढ़ेया डांस का भूत चढ़ेया
मेरा लडेया इश्क़ दा पेच लडेया
मैनु चढ़ेया डांस का भूत चढ़ेया
डांस का भूत चढ़ेया
मैनु चढ़ेया डांस का भूत चढ़ेया
मेरा लडेया इश्क़ दा पेच लडेया
मैनु चढ़ेया डांस का भूत चढ़ेया
आढा टेढ़ा डांस मेरा
अच्छा लगे तुमको तो
जैसे मैं करता हूँ
वो कॉपी करो
शाबाश, गुरु

अरे आजा, झूम
Oh come, let's dance
नाचेगा दीवाना तो देखेगा ज़माना
If someone dances crazily, the world will watch
हमारी सूफियाना सी पार्टियां
Our Sufi-like parties
फिकर भुला के तू कमर हिला के
Forget your worries and shake your waist
आ नच ले मेरे संग साथिया
Come, dance with me, my companion
कोई मुझे रोको ज़रा
Someone try to stop me a bit
नच नच के हार्ट का बीट बढ़ेया
Dance and increase the beat of your heart
मैनु चढ़ेया डांस का भूत चढ़ेया
I get possessed by the spirit of dance
मेरा लडेया इश्क़ दा पेच लडेया
My battle is fought with the dagger of love
आढा टेढ़ा डांस मेरा
My dance is slightly twisted
अच्छा लगे तुमको तो जैसे मैं करता हूँ, वो कॉपी करो
If you like it, then copy the way I do it
क्या हो गया जरा सा गयी हिप गलत हो जाए
What has happened, a little step goes wrong and the hip goes awry
करना मगर दिल से जो भी करो
Do whatever you do with your heart
युक्ति है ये गाना बड़ा उसे बार बार मैं रिपीट करेया
This song is clever, I keep repeating it
