ek bat tu sun matvale
kahte hai najar ke pyale
khona na hosh hona madhosh
masti me jhum ne vale
ek bat tu sun matvale
kahte hai najar ke pyale
khona na hosh hona madhosh
masti me jhum ne vale

apne liya jiya jo kis kam ka vo jita
kuch to mita bata le tu jindangi ki lila
solo se khel dukh dard khel
hona bhi hai jo hole
ek bat tu sun matvale
kahte hai najar ke pyale
khona na hosh hona madhosh
masti me jhum ne vale
ek bat tu sun matvale

botal me mai nahi hu arman ka lahu hai
par bat jindagi ki par bat aarju hai
duniya hai nag mastane jaag kyu apna raj khole
ek bat tu sun matvale
o ho aa ha
kahte hai najar ke pyale
khona na hosh hona madhosh
masti me jhum ne vale
ek bat tu sun matvale

dil to hai tera dusman bato me tu na aana
koi naya hai insan badlega jo jamana
sunle re meet hai uski jeet himmat se kam jo le
o ho aa ha
ek bat tu sun matvale
kahte hai najar ke pyale
khona na hosh hona madhosh
masti me jhum ne vale
ek bat tu sun matvale

Listen close, you who revel,
They say the eyes are goblets,
Lose not your senses, be intoxicated,
In merriment, sway and tumble.
Listen close, you who revel,
They say the eyes are goblets.
Lose not your senses, be intoxicated,
In merriment, sway and tumble.

For oneself, a life unlived, a fruitless gain,
Erase your mark, reveal life's secret play.
With flames, you must dance, with sorrow play,
Let what must be, unfold and sway.
Listen close, you who revel,
They say the eyes are goblets,
Lose not your senses, be intoxicated,
In merriment, sway and tumble.
Listen close, you who revel.

Within the bottle, no 'I' resides, but blood of desire,
Yet of life's whispers and longings, our hearts conspire.
The world, a serpent, yet you are the awakened,
Why then, unveil your hidden treasure?
Oh, ho, ah, ha!
Listen close, you who revel,
They say the eyes are goblets,
Lose not your senses, be intoxicated,
In merriment, sway and tumble.
Listen close, you who revel.

The heart, your foe, in words, do not be ensnared,
He is the new man who changes the world, declared.
Listen, friend, victory is his, who with courage, does proceed,
Oh, ho, ah, ha!
Listen close, you who revel,
They say the eyes are goblets,
Lose not your senses, be intoxicated,
In merriment, sway and tumble.
Listen close, you who revel.
