naa haram me, naa sukun milataa hai butakhaane me
chain milataa hai to saaqi tere maikhaane me

jhum, jhum, jhum
( jhum baraabar jhum sharaabi, jhum baraabar jhum ) -3
kaali ghataa hai, aa aa, mast fazaa hai, aa aa
kaali ghataa hai mast fazaa hai, jaam uthaakar ghum ghum ghum
jhum baraabar

aaj angur ki beti se muhaubbat kar le
shekh saahab ki nasihat se bagaavat kar le
isaki beti ne uthaa rakhi hai sar par duniyaa
ye to achchhaa huaa ke angur ko betaa naa huaa
kamasekam surat-e-saaqi kaa nazaaraa kar le
aake maikaane me jine kaa sahaaraa kar le
aankh milate hi javaani kaa mazaa aayegaa
tujhako angur ke paani kaa mazaa aayegaa
har nazar apani bakad shauq gulaabi kar de
itani pile ke zamaane ko sharaabi kar de
jaam jab saamane aaye to mukaranaa kaisaa
baat jab pine ki aajaaye to daranaa kaisaa
dhum machi hai, aa aa, maikaane me, aa aa
dhum machi hai maikaane me, tu bhi machaa le dhum dhum dhum
jhum baraabar

isake pinese tabiyat me ravaani aaye
isako budhaa bhi jo pile to javaani aaye
pine vaale tujhe aajaaegaa pine kaa mazaa
isake har ghunt me poshidaa hai pine kaa mazaa
baat to jab hai ke tu mai kaa paraskaar bane
tu nazar daal de jis par vohi maikvaar bane
mausam-e-gul me to pine kaa mazaa aataa hai
pine vaalo ko hi jine kaa mazaa aataa hai
jaam uthaale, aa aa, munh se lagaale, aa aa
jaam uthaale, munh se lagaale, munh se lagaakar chum chum chum
jhum baraabar

jo bhi aataa hai yahaan pike machal jaataa hai
jab nazar saaqi ki padati hai sambhal jaataa hai
aa idhar jhumake saaqi kaa leke naam uthaa
dekh vo abr uthaa tu bhi zaraa jaam uthaa
is qadar pile ke rag-rag me surur aajaaye
qadarat-e-mai se tere chehare pe nur aajaaye
isake har katare me naazaan hai nihaan dariyaadili
isake pinese pataa hoti hai ke zindaadili
shaan se pile, aa aa, shaan se jile, aa aa
shaan se pile shaan se jile, ghum nashe me ghum ghum ghum
jhum baraabar

Not in the harem, nor in the temple's hush,
Does solace dwell, but in the tavern's blush.
Sway, sway, sway,
(Sway, O drunkard, sway and play) - 3
Dark clouds gather, oh, a heady air,
Dark clouds gather, heady air, raise your glass and whirl.
Sway, sway,

Love the grape's daughter, embrace her sweet art,
Defy the sheikh's counsel, tear it apart.
Her daughter holds the world upon her head,
It is well grape had no son.
Behold the Saki's form, a vision to see,
In the tavern find life's embrace, set yourself free.
As eyes meet, youth's delight takes hold,
In the grape's water, a story unfolds.
Make every gaze a rose-hued quest,
Drink till the world is a drunken guest.
When the goblet appears, why hesitate?
When the time to drink arrives, why debate?
A frenzy erupts, ah, in the tavern's hold,
A frenzy erupts, join the sway, let the story unfold.
Sway, sway,

From this drink, the spirit finds its flow,
The old, it grants youth's radiant glow.
Drinkers, the taste of drinking you will find,
In every drop, the essence of life entwined.
The true test is to become the wine's devotee,
And the world you see through the lens of glee.
In the season of blooms, drinking's the best,
To the drinkers, life's sweet taste is blessed.
Raise the goblet, ah, to your lips you press, ah,
Raise the goblet, to your lips, kiss, kiss, kiss.
Sway, sway,

Who comes here, intoxicated and swayed,
When the Saki's gaze falls, their balance remade.
Come, sway, take the Saki's name in your call,
See that cloud rising, raise your glass and stand tall.
Drink so deep, in every vein ecstasy reside,
With wine abundant, let your face be glorified.
In every drop, a hidden ocean's grace,
Drinking this, life's vibrancy you embrace.
Drink with pride, ah, live with pride, ah,
Drink with pride, live with pride, whirl in the wine's tide.
Sway, sway.
