sharab e ishk ke aage maja kya kadwe pani ka
nasha samjho na tum jalim nasha hai ye jawani ka
muskurati jindagi ko chhod ke na ja
dil hamari arazu ka tod ke na ja
aankho ki lila bhar de jara
aankho ki lila bhar de jara aaja aaja sakiya

husn benakab hai ishk par shabab hai
ishk par shabab hai
chand ka jawab mai hu mera kya jawab hai
mera kya jawab hai aise me dilbar muh na chupa
aise me dilbar muh na chupa aaja aaja sakiya

tu hai dil ke taar me dard ki pukar me
dard ki pukar me
mujhpe yu sitam na kar is jawan bahar me
is jawan bahar me thukra na mujhko aye jalima
thukra na mujhko aye jalima

What's the thrill of bitter water,
When love's own wine overflows?
Don't mistake this for a youthful blunder,
This intoxication that the young heart knows.
Don't abandon life's unfolding smile,
Don't shatter the longing of my heart.
Fill these eyes with your divine play,
Fill these eyes, come, O Saqi, play your part.

Beauty unveiled, on love, youth unfurled,
On love, youth unfurled.
I am the answer to the moon's own light,
I am the answer, what answer to be told?
In such a moment, my beloved, don't hide,
In such a moment, come, O Saqi, reside.

You are in the strings of the heart,
In the cries of pain,
In the cries of pain.
Don't torment me so in this youthful spring,
In this youthful spring.
Don't reject me, O cruel one,
Don't reject me.
