aa.e the hañste khelte mai-ḳhāne meñ 'firāq'
jab pī chuke sharāb to sanjīda ho ga.e
we came to the tavern all gay and frolicsome
now having drunk the wine, somber have become
aae the hanste khelte mai-KHane mein 'firaq'
jab pi chuke sharab to sanjida ho gae
we came to the tavern all gay and frolicsome
now having drunk the wine, somber have become
kuchh bhī bachā na kahne ko har baat ho ga.ī
aao kahīñ sharāb piyeñ raat ho ga.ī
kuchh bhi bacha na kahne ko har baat ho gai
aao kahin sharab piyen raat ho gai

zāhid sharāb piine de masjid meñ baiTh kar
yā vo jagah batā de jahāñ par ḳhudā na ho
Priest I know this is a mosque, let me drink inside
Or point me to a place where God does not reside
zahid sharab pine de masjid mein baiTh kar
ya wo jagah bata de jahan par KHuda na ho
Priest I know this is a mosque, let me drink inside
Or point me to a place where God does not reside

ab to utnī bhī mayassar nahīñ mai-ḳhāne meñ
jitnī ham chhoḌ diyā karte the paimāne meñ
the tavern does not even give that much wine to me
that I was wont to waste in the goblet casually
ab to utni bhi mayassar nahin mai-KHane mein
jitni hum chhoD diya karte the paimane mein
the tavern does not even give that much wine to me
that I was wont to waste in the goblet casually
zāhid sharāb piine se kāfir huā maiñ kyuuñ
kyā DeḌh chullū paanī meñ īmān bah gayā
zahid sharab pine se kafir hua main kyun
kya DeDh chullu pani mein iman bah gaya
na tum hosh meñ ho na ham hosh meñ haiñ
chalo mai-kade meñ vahīñ baat hogī
neither are you in your senses nor am I in mine
let us now go to the tavern and talk while we have wine
na tum hosh mein ho na hum hosh mein hain
chalo mai-kade mein wahin baat hogi
neither are you in your senses nor am I in mine
let us now go to the tavern and talk while we have wine
qarz kī piite the mai lekin samajhte the ki haañ
rañg lāvegī hamārī fāqa-mastī ek din
qarz ki pite the mai lekin samajhte the ki han
rang lawegi hamari faqa-masti ek din
'zauq' jo madrase ke bigḌe hue haiñ mullā
un ko mai-ḳhāne meñ le aao sañvar jā.eñge
'zauq' jo madrase ke bigDe hue hain mulla
un ko mai-KHane mein le aao sanwar jaenge

pilā de ok se saaqī jo ham se nafrat hai
piyāla gar nahīñ detā na de sharāb to de
if you despise me pour into my cupped palms, it is fine
give me not a glass but then, at least do give me wine
pila de ok se saqi jo hum se nafrat hai
piyala gar nahin deta na de sharab to de
if you despise me pour into my cupped palms, it is fine
give me not a glass but then, at least do give me wine
piitā huuñ jitnī utnī hī baḌhtī hai tishnagī
saaqī ne jaise pyaas milā dī sharāb meñ
pita hun jitni utni hi baDhti hai tishnagi
saqi ne jaise pyas mila di sharab mein
lutf-e-mai tujh se kyā kahūñ zāhid
haa.e kam-baḳht tū ne pī hī nahīñ
you've never drunk O hapless priest
The joys of wine how will you see
lutf-e-mai tujh se kya kahun zahid
hae kam-baKHt tu ne pi hi nahin
you've never drunk O hapless priest
The joys of wine how will you see
tark-e-mai hī samajh ise nāseh
itnī pī hai ki pī nahīñ jaatī
tark-e-mai hi samajh ise naseh
itni pi hai ki pi nahin jati
