peena haram hai to nigahe milake pee
peena haram hai to nigahe milake pee
meri najar ke jaam ko dil se lagake pee
peena haram hai

julfo ki badliyo se barasti hai mastiya
julfo ki badliyo se barasti hai mastiya
meri ada ada me chamakti hai bijliya
tu aisi roshni me jara muskura ke pee
peena haram hai to nigahe milake pee
peena haram hai

aankho ke sagaro me dubo de tu apna gham
ae mere dil ke chain nahi tu kisi se kam
main naachti hu saaj utha, gunguna ke pee
peena haram hai to nigahe milake pee
meri najar ke jaam ko dil se lagake pee
peena haram hai

If forbidden is the wine, then drink with eyes that meet mine,
If forbidden is the wine, then drink, let glances intertwine.
Embrace the cup held by my gaze, feel its spirit divine,
If forbidden is the wine…

From tresses, like clouds, intoxication pours down,
From tresses, like clouds, where ecstasy is found,
In every gesture, lightning streaks, unbound,
Bathe in this light, and with a smile, resound,
If forbidden is the wine, then drink with eyes that meet mine,
If forbidden is the wine…

In eyes, like oceans, drown your sorrow's trace,
Oh, solace of my heart, you lack not grace,
I dance, raise the music, and sing with loving embrace,
If forbidden is the wine, then drink with eyes that meet mine,
Embrace the cup held by my gaze, feel its spirit divine,
If forbidden is the wine…
