hum ko hone de sharabi hum ko hone de sharabi
de de mehkhane ki chabi hum ko hone de sharabi
de de mehkhane ki chabi yara jid na kar yara jid na kar
yara jid na kar yara jid na kar
hum ko hone de sharabi de de mehkhane ki chabi
yara jid na kar yara jid na kar yara jid na kar yara jid na kar

sham khusi ki aayi oye oye oye oye
masti gajab ki chhayi oye oye oye oye
sham khusi ki aayi masti gajab ki chhayi
pine de jine de humko na kar yu rusvayi
jam rahe na koi khali dar pe aaye hai savali
sabki najre hai teri najro par to hum ko hone de sharabi
de de mehkhane ki chabi yara jid na kar yara jid na kar

dekh ke jalva tera oye oye oye oye
hone laga mai kayal oye oye oye oye
dekh ke jalva tera hone laga mai kayal
dhadkan dil me aise bole jaise baje payal
ab tu mukar na karke vada aana kani mat kar jada
sabki najre hai teri najro par to hum ko hone de sharabi
de de mehkhane ki chabi yara jid na kar yara jid na kar

abhi to suru hua tha kya bhai kya kya bhai kya
nasha sa halka halka waah bhayi waah waah bhayi waah
abhi to suru hua tha nasha sa halka halka
lekin hosh ude mere jab aanchal tera dhalka
tere rup ka jalva aisa meri gajal ka mukhda jaisa
sabki najre hai teri najro par to hum ko hone de sharabi
de de mehkhane ki chabi yara jid na kar yara jid na kar
yara jid na kar yara jid na kar

Let the revelry begin, let me be a drunkard,
Grant me the key to the tavern, let me be a drunkard.
Grant me the key, friend, do not resist,
Friend, do not resist.
Friend, do not resist, friend, do not resist.
Let me be a drunkard, grant me the key to the tavern,
Friend, do not resist, friend, do not resist.
Friend, do not resist, friend, do not resist.

The evening of joy has arrived, oyy, oyy, oyy, oyy,
Ecstasy of wonder has spread, oyy, oyy, oyy, oyy.
The evening of joy has arrived, ecstasy of wonder has spread,
Let me drink, let me live, do not cast me out so,
Let no cup remain empty, beggars have come to your door,
All eyes are upon your gaze, so let me be a drunkard,
Grant me the key to the tavern, friend, do not resist.
Friend, do not resist.

Beholding your splendor, oyy, oyy, oyy, oyy,
I begin to be infatuated, oyy, oyy, oyy, oyy.
Beholding your splendor, I begin to be infatuated,
My heart's beats speak as a dancing anklet,
Now do not deny, having made a promise, do not hesitate,
All eyes are upon your gaze, so let me be a drunkard,
Grant me the key to the tavern, friend, do not resist.
Friend, do not resist.

It had barely begun, what friend, what friend, what friend?
A slight intoxication, wow friend, wow friend, wow friend.
It had barely begun, a slight intoxication,
But my senses were lost when your veil fell,
The splendor of your form is like the face of my ghazal,
All eyes are upon your gaze, so let me be a drunkard,
Grant me the key to the tavern, friend, do not resist.
Friend, do not resist.
Friend, do not resist, friend, do not resist.
