khote na ho jo hosh unhe ghar bulaa ke pi
yaa phir buto ko saamane, apane bithaa ke pi
behad naa pi, naa bol bahut, josh me na aa
ruk ruk ke pi, sukun se pi, sar jhukaa ke pi

daulat hai faqat chaar dino ki pi le
izzat hai faqat chaar dino ki pi le
hai waqt shab-o-roz tabaahi ki taraf
mohalat hai faqat chaar dino ki pi le

chalo pi le ke yaar aaye na aaye
ye mausam baar baar, aaye na aaye

gulaabo ki tarah tum taazaa rahanaa
zamaane me bahaar aaye na aaye

ye sochaa hai ki usako bhul jaaye
ab is dil ko qaraar aaye na aaye

"zamir" is zindagi se kyu khafaa ho
ise phir tumape pyaar aaye na aaye

Invite those who remain conscious, then drink with them at home.
Or, seat the idols before you, and drink in their presence.
Do not drink to excess, nor speak too much, do not be consumed by fervor.
Drink slowly, with tranquility, bowing your head in reverence.

Wealth is but a fleeting thing, drink it down.
Honor is but a fleeting thing, drink it down.
Time rushes towards destruction's edge.
Opportunity is but a fleeting thing, drink it down.

Come, let us drink, for our friends may or may not return.
This season may or may not return, again and again.

Like roses, remain fresh, forever blooming.
Though spring may or may not come again to this world.

I have resolved to forget her.
Whether peace will ever find this heart, or not.

"Zameer," why are you so displeased with this life?
Whether it will ever love you again, or not.
