peenawna sharab main
ode pichhe zindagi

zindagi nu sajna de
dukha tera pa liya

sharab ne bacha liya
apne begane mainu
sare chhad gaye
ais li sharab nu main
apna bana liya

I drowned my soul in the wine's embrace,
Behind it, I ruined my life's sweet grace.
For the sorrows of love, I surrendered my all,
I would have perished, but the wine caught my fall.
All deserted me, both friend and foe,
So I made the wine my own, you know.

This life has become a torment, a plight,
This is why I drink the wine, day and night.
This life has become a torment, a plight,
This is why I drink the wine, day and night.

The one I used to forget for a day,
Now a moment apart, I cannot stay.
Now he calls me tainted, a broken thing,
This is why I drink the wine, the solace it brings.
This life has become a torment, a plight.

He shuns me, a rival in his sight,
Shattered my heart, treated me with slight.
He shuns me, a rival in his sight,
Shattered my heart, treated me with slight.
This is why I drink the wine's bitter sting,
This life has become a torment, a plight.

With love he gazed, with anger he'd glare,
But with a soft smile, he masked his care.
He hides his true heart behind a facade,
This is why I drink the wine, the bitter load.
This life has become a torment, a plight.

My love, I know not what you crave,
You don't look at me, no words you gave.
Perhaps this is what you desire, my dear,
This is why I drink the wine, to drown my fear.
This life has become a torment, a plight.

How can I weep for the sorrow I hold?
I was not born of drunks, stories untold.
Tell me, what have I gained, this life's cruel art?
This is why I drink the wine to mend my heart.
This life has become a torment, a plight.
This is why I drink the wine, day and night.
This life has become a torment, a plight.
This is why I drink the wine, day and night.
