kabhi maikhane tak jate hai hum
kabhi maikhane tak jate hai hum
aur gam bhi peete hai
kabhi maikhane tak jate hai hum
aur gam bhi peete hai

ghata julfo ki chha jaye to bemausam bhi peete hai
kabhi maikhane tak jate hai hum
aur gham bhi peete hai

hum aise rind jo aksar mahino tak nahi peete
hum aise rind jo aksar mahino tak nahi peete
agar peene pe aa jaye to
agar peene pe aa jaye to
phir paigham bhi peete hai?
ghata julfo ki chha jaye to bemausam bhi peete hai
kabhi maikhane tak jate hai hum
aur gham bhi peete hai

koi apni tarah maikhane me peekar to dikhalaye
koi apni tarah maikhane me peekar to dikhalaye
ke hum mai hi nahi peete hai
ke hum mai hi nahi peete hai
ashke gum bhi peete hai
ghata julfon ki chha jaye to bemausam bhi peete hai
kabhi maikhane tak jate hai hum
aur gham bhi peete hai

humari pyas ka sabse alag andaaz hai raashid
humari pyas ka sabse alag andaaz hai raashid
kabhi darya ko thukarate hai
kabhi darya ko thukarate hai
kabhi sabnam bhi peete hai
kabhi maikhane tak jate hai hum
aur gham bhi peete hai
ghata julfon ki chha jaye to bemausam bhi peete hai
kabhi maikhane tak jate hai hum
aur gham bhi peete hai

To the tavern we journey, we do,
To the tavern we journey, we do,
And sorrows, we imbibe too.
To the tavern we journey, we do,
And sorrows, we imbibe too.

When tresses like storm clouds gather, we drink out of season,
To the tavern we journey, we do,
And sorrows, we imbibe too.

We, such revelers, abstain for months on end,
We, such revelers, abstain for months on end,
But when the urge descends,
But when the urge descends,
We drink the very message,
When tresses like storm clouds gather, we drink out of season,
To the tavern we journey, we do,
And sorrows, we imbibe too.

Let one, like us, drink in the tavern, if they dare,
Let one, like us, drink in the tavern, if they dare,
For only we drink,
For only we drink,
The tears of sorrow too,
When tresses like storm clouds gather, we drink out of season,
To the tavern we journey, we do,
And sorrows, we imbibe too.

Our thirst, Rashid, a unique decree,
Our thirst, Rashid, a unique decree,
Sometimes we spurn the ocean's sway,
Sometimes we spurn the ocean's sway,
Sometimes, the dew, we embrace.
To the tavern we journey, we do,
And sorrows, we imbibe too.
When tresses like storm clouds gather, we drink out of season,
To the tavern we journey, we do,
And sorrows, we imbibe too.
