ye kaisa gam sajna pyasa din pyasi shaam
ye kaisa gam sajna pyasa din pyasi shaam
aa tere hotho se lag jau banke jaam
ye kaisa gam sajna

sheeshe me nasha hai mujhme tera pyar hai
rang usme mere chehre per teri bahar hai
sheeshe me nasha hai mujhme tera pyar hai
rang usme mere chehre per teri bahar hai
saiya shisha kya hai bahe meri thaam
ye kaisa gam sajna pyasa din pyasi shaam
aa tere hotho se lag jau banke jaam
ye kaisa gam sajna

haye mere hote ruh teri pyasi
poch du anchal ban ke aa mukhde ki udasi
haye mere hote ruh teri pyasi
poch du anchal ban ke aa mukhde ki udasi
saiya sukh me dukh me mujhko tujhse kaam
ye kaisa gam sajna pyasa din pyasi shaam
aa tere hotho se lag jau banke jaam
ye kaisa gam sajna

mai jalne na dungi tujhko ye gam le ke
paas tere aayi hu mai pyar ki sabnam leke
mai jalne na dungi tujhko ye gam le ke
paas tere aayi hu mai pyar ki sabnam leke
saiya rab ne bejha mujhko tere naam
ye kaisa gam sajna pyasa din pyasi shaam
aa tere hotho se lag jau banke jaam
ye kaisa gam sajna

A sorrow so vast, my love, a day of thirst, an evening's ache,
A sorrow so vast, my love, a day of thirst, an evening's ache.
Come, let me drink of you, become your sacred wine,
A sorrow so vast, my love.

The glass holds the intoxication, I hold your love,
Colors bloom in it, your spring upon my face, above.
The glass holds the intoxication, I hold your love,
Colors bloom in it, your spring upon my face, above.
My love, what is the glass? Embrace me, hold me near,
A sorrow so vast, my love, a day of thirst, an evening's ache,
Come, let me drink of you, become your sacred wine,
A sorrow so vast, my love.

Alas, your soul thirsts while I am here,
I'll wipe away your tears, your face, banish all fear.
Alas, your soul thirsts while I am here,

A sorrow so vast, my love, a day of thirst, an evening's ache,
Come, let me drink of you, become your sacred wine,
A sorrow so vast, my love.

I will not let this sorrow burn you, my love,
I have come to you, bearing love's gentle dove.

A sorrow so vast, my love, a day of thirst, an evening's ache,
Come, let me drink of you, become your sacred wine,
A sorrow so vast, my love.
