aaj pine ki tamana hai mai piunga behisab
kal ki kal dekhunga jab hoga gunaho ka hisab
to kal se chhod dunga mai sharab
arey kal se chhod dunga mai sharab
magar aaj mujhe pine de
pine de zara aaj mujhe pine de
mana hai aadat kharab
maine mana hai aadat kharab
magar aaj mujhe pine de
pine de zara aaj mujhe pine de

ghunguru ghunguru ghunguru
bajati aayi sham sham sham
laga ke bhar de mera zam
kal se chhod dunga mai sharab
magar aaj mujhe pine de
pine de zara aaj mujhe pine de

lagi jab mujhko kabhi bhukh lagi
jagi kabhi jab pyas dil me jagi
band botal ye khuli thodi si maine pili
mujhko aaram mila aag is dil ki bujhi
yaar mujhe kisi ne na roka kabhi
na roka kabhi ho ghungauru ghunguru
bajati aayi sham sham sham
laga ke bhar de mera zam
kal se chhod dunga mai sharab
magar aaj mujhe pine de
pine de zara aaj mujhe pine de

kahu bhala kaise kahu isko kharab
mere liye ma ke pyar jaisi sharab
saye me iske raha sanche me iske dala
iske aanchal ke tale me mere yaar pala
baho me isi ke aaya aaya shabab aaya shabab
to kal se chhod dunga mai sharab
hey kal se chhod dunga mai sharab
magar aaj mujhe pine de
aye yara aaj mujhe pine de
mana hai aadat kharab
maine mana hai aadat kharab
magar aaj mujhe pine de
aye yara aaj mujhe pine de
aye yara aaj mujhe pine de

Tonight, the thirst, a tempest in my breast,
I'll drink until the heart finds its true rest.
Tomorrow's reckoning, a shadowed shore,
Where sins are tallied, and I'll drink no more.
But from tomorrow, I will surely cease,
Yes, from tomorrow, find eternal peace.
But let me drink tonight, just let me be,
Oh, let me drink tonight, and set my soul free.
I know this habit, a corrosive blight,
I know this darkness that consumes the light.
But let me drink tonight, release the pain,
Oh, let me drink tonight, and drink again.

Ghungroo, ghungroo, ghungroo,
The evening bells, they chime and call,
Fill my glass, before I fall.
From tomorrow, I will surely cease,
But let me drink tonight, find inner peace.
Oh, let me drink tonight, just let me be.

When hunger gnawed, a phantom in my soul,
And thirst arose, to take its cruelest toll,
This bottled solace, I would gently raise,
And find within its depths, a warming haze.
My heart found solace, the fire cooled within,
And none forbade me, not a single sin.
Ghungroo, ghungroo, ghungroo,
The evening bells, they chime and call,
Fill my glass, before I fall.
From tomorrow, I will surely cease,
But let me drink tonight, find inner peace.
Oh, let me drink tonight, just let me be.

How can I call it, something so unkind?
This drink, my mother's love, I surely find.
Within its shadow, I have found my form,
Beneath its cloak, I weathered every storm.
Within its arms, my youth began to bloom,
And whispered promises, dispelled the gloom.
From tomorrow, I will surely cease,
Yes, from tomorrow, find eternal peace.
But let me drink tonight, oh friend, let be,
My friend, tonight, just let me be,
I know this habit, a corrosive blight,
I know this darkness that consumes the light.
But let me drink tonight, release the pain,
My friend, tonight, and drink again.
My friend, tonight, and drink again.
