mai peeta nahi hu, peela di gayi hain
mai peeta nahi hu, peela di gayi hain
nahi shauk peene ka rakhta hu yaaro
har ek sham thodi si chakhta hu yaaro
mere gham me masti mila di gayi hain
mujhe dard-e-dil ki dawa di gayi hain
mujhe dard-e-dil ki dawa di gayi hain

hosh me raho mere jani
hosh me raho mere jani
hosh me raho mere jani
hosh me raho mere jani

mujhe jab kisi se mohabbat nahi thi
to peene peelane ki aadat nahi thi
agar mai na peeta, to phir kaise jeeta
agar mai na peeta, to phir kaise jeeta
mohabbat me mujhse jafa ki gayi hain
mujhe dard-e-dil ki dawa di gayi hain
mujhe dard-e-dil ki dawa di gayi hain
mai peeta nahi hu, peela di gayi hain

jo peete nahi hain, akele khade hain
yaha to diwano ke mele lage hain
jo duba nashe me, wahi hain maje me
jo duba nashe me, wahi hain maje me
ye har sham saanso ko mehka rahi hain
ye har sham saanso ko mehka rahi hain
mujhe dard-e-dil ki dawa di gayi hain
mujhe dard-e-dil ki dawa di gayi hain
mai peeta nahi hu, peela di gayi hain
hosh me raho mere jani
hosh me raho mere jani
hosh me raho mere jani

I do not drink, it's poured for me,
I do not drink, it's poured for me.
No thirst for drink resides in me, friends,
Each evening, a small taste I send.
In my sorrow, joy's been spun,
To mend my heart, a potion's begun.
A balm for heartache, I've been given,
A balm for heartache, heaven-written.

Be mindful, my love,
Be mindful, my love,
Be mindful, my love,
Be mindful, my love.

When love was absent from my breast,
No need for drink, no drunken quest.
If I hadn't drunk, how would I have lived?
If I hadn't drunk, how would I have lived?
In love, betrayal I've endured,
To mend my heart, this cure assured.
A balm for heartache, I've been given,
I do not drink, it's poured for me.

Those who abstain, stand all alone,
Here, a carnival of souls is known.
Those who drown in drink, find their delight,
Those who drown in drink, embrace the light.
Each evening, this fragrance does entice,
Each evening, my very breath is spiced.
A balm for heartache, I've been given,
A balm for heartache, heaven-written.
I do not drink, it's poured for me.
Be mindful, my love,
Be mindful, my love,
Be mindful, my love.
