piye jaao mere bhagwan zehar ka pyala
piye jaao mere bhagwan zehar ka pyala
jab tum na saho gaye to kaun sahega
hukmano ki is jwala me
piye jaao mere bhagwan zehar ka pyala

duniya ke log diwane tumko prabhu kya jane
duniya ke log diwane tumko prabhu kya jane
hanste hanste sahe te jao inke sare taane

Drink, my God, the poisoned chalice,
Drink, my God, the poisoned chalice,
If not You, then who will bear
The inferno of their malice?
Drink, my God, the poisoned chalice.

These worldlings, mad, know not Your ways,
These worldlings, mad, know not Your ways,
Smile through their taunts, their hurtful phrase,
The mocker weeps in future days,
Drink, my God, the poisoned chalice.

You've known such sorrow, bear it now,
You've known such sorrow, bear it now,
You who played with blooms, take the flame somehow,
Those who burn with fire, their day will endow,
Drink, my God, the poisoned chalice.
