sharab ke sahara leke bhi
bahal saka na mera ji
ke yad teri nashe pe mere cha gayi
teri kasam tera ye gum jara na kam hua
bahal saka na mera ji
sharab ka sahara leke bhi
bahal saka na mera ji

jo tune mujhko di nishaniya
wo bhulti nahi kahaniya
jindagi bebashi ban gayi
juda bhi hoke tu mujhse na juda hui
teri kasam tera ye gum jara na kam hua
bahal saka na mera ji

shikast ghoslo ki ho gayi
sharab aankho me kho gayi
maine ki maykashi khub pi
magar bujhi na ye aag tere pyar ki
teri kasam tera ye gum jara na kam hua
bahal saka na mera ji

ye dil ka dag yu na dhul saka
ke jam me junu na dhul saka
do ghadi bekhudi na rahi
ke bat koi teri labo pe aa gayi
teri kasam tera ye gum jara na kam hua
bahal saka na mera ji

Drowning in the solace of wine,
My heart found no peace, no shrine.
Your memory, a shadow, on my drunken soul,
By your oath, your sorrow takes its toll.
My heart found no peace, no shrine,
Drowning in the solace of wine,
My heart found no peace, no shrine.

The tokens you bestowed,
Their stories, never to be un-sewed.
Life, a surrender, a helpless plea,
Though parted, you never departed from me.
By your oath, your sorrow takes its toll,
My heart found no peace, no shrine.

The nests of hope, they fell apart,
Your image, lost in my tear-filled art.
I drank deep, in a stupor I lay,
But the fire of your love would not go away.
By your oath, your sorrow takes its toll,
My heart found no peace, no shrine.

This stain upon my soul, could never be washed away,
The madness of the drink, it could not allay.
Even brief oblivion, could not hold,
For your name, upon my lips, was told.
By your oath, your sorrow takes its toll,
My heart found no peace, no shrine.
