o saaki re
saaki re ho, saaki re ho
saaki re ho, saaki re ho
he aisa jaam pila nazaro se
hosh rahe na baki re
saaki re ho, saaki re ho
saaki re ho, saaki re ho

aag lagi kyu ujda ujda
bhara hua maikhana
jisko nazare dhundh rahi hain
kaha hain wo diwana ji
kaha hain wo diwana
ye kaisi mahfil
ye kaisi mahfil hain jisme
pyaar ka hain khud saaki re
saaki re ho, saaki re ho
o saaki re ho, saaki re ho
he aisa jaam pila nazario se
hosh rahe na baki re
saaki re ho, saaki re ho
saaki re ho, saaki re ho

ek me din hain raat ek me
chhalke do paimane
kiski kismat me kya likha
ye kismat hi jaane he ji
ye kismat hi jaane
koi na jaane is mahfil me
kaun rahega baki o ji
kaun rahega baki re
saaki re ho, saaki re ho
o saaki re ho, saaki re ho
he aisa jaam pila nazario se
hosh rahe na baki re
saaki re ho, saaki re ho
saaki re ho, saaki re ho
hosh rahe na baki re

O, Saki, Friend,
Saki, Friend, Oh, Saki, Friend,
Saki, Friend, Oh, Saki, Friend.
Pour from the eyes a wine so deep,
No trace of self to keep.
Saki, Friend, Oh, Saki, Friend,
Saki, Friend, Oh, Saki, Friend.

Why does fire consume, a desolation bloom,
In this tavern, brimming, a shadowed room?
Whose gaze does it seek, this love that speaks?
Where is the mad one, the heart that bleeds?
Where is the mad one?
What a gathering, a haunting,
Where love itself the Saki is.
Saki, Friend, Oh, Saki, Friend,
O, Saki, Friend, Oh, Saki, Friend.
Pour from the eyes a wine so deep,
No trace of self to keep.
Saki, Friend, Oh, Saki, Friend,
Saki, Friend, Oh, Saki, Friend.

One holds day, one holds night,
Two chalices spill in pale light.
What fate befalls, what is told,
Only destiny, its story unfolds.
Only destiny knows.
Who in this hall, will remain to call,
Who will linger in the afterglow?
Who will linger?
Saki, Friend, Oh, Saki, Friend,
O, Saki, Friend, Oh, Saki, Friend.
Pour from the eyes a wine so deep,
No trace of self to keep.
Saki, Friend, Oh, Saki, Friend,
Saki, Friend, Oh, Saki, Friend.
No trace of self to keep.
