khule aam kehte hai
khule aam kehte hai aaj humne pee hai
ya saaki ne humpe meharbaani ki hai
ya saaki ne humpe meharbaani ki hai
hume hosh aata hai behosh ho kar
yahi jindgi hai, yahi jindgi hai
ye kya jindgi hai, ye kya jindgi hai
bade shauk se aaj tumne jo pee hai
jala degi tanman ki ye aag bhi hai
jala degi tanman ki ye aag bhi hai
tumhe hosh aata hai behosh ho kar
ye kya jindgi hai, ye kya jindgi hai
yahi jindgi hai, yahi jindgi hai

adab jindgi ke hume na sikhaao
adab jindgi ke hume na sikhaao
ye humdardi apni hume na dikhaao
zamane ka har rang dekha hai humne
jo hum keh rahe hai use maan jaao
tadapna machalna ye jo bekhudi hai
yahi jindgi hai, yahi jindgi hai
khule aam kehte hai aaj humne pee hai

nazar aa raha hai dikhava tumhara
ke tufa ko samjha hai tumne kinara
ye rasta tabahi ka rasta hai socho
palat aao maano bhi kehna humara
palat aao maano bhi kehna humara
ye jhutha nasha hai ye jhuthi khushi hai
ye kya jindgi hai, ye kya jindgi hai
yahi jindgi hai, yahi jindgi hai
khule aam kehte hai aaj humne pee hai

ye rishte ye bandhan to dhokha hai dhokha
ye rishte ye bandhan to dhokha hai dhokha
khuda par bhi humko nahi ab bharosa
zara dil ka daman badha kar to dekho
jaha kaante honge waha phul hoga
vo jhuthi kahani hai tumne gadhi hai
wahi jindgi hai, wahi jindgi hai

khule aam kehte hai aaj humne pee hai
ya saaki ne humpe meharbaani ki hai
ya saaki ne humpe meharbaani ki hai
hume hosh aata hai behosh ho kar
yahi jindgi hai, yahi jindgi hai
ye kya jindgi hai, ye kya jindgi hai
yahi jindgi hai, yahi jindgi hai

They boast in the open,
they boast they have drunk today,
or the Saqi has shown them grace.
The Saqi has shown them grace.
We find our senses in our unconscious state,
this is life, this is life,
what kind of life is this, what kind of life?
The drink you take with such relish today,
will ignite the fire of body and soul,
will ignite the fire of body and soul.
You find your senses in your unconscious state,
what kind of life is this, what kind of life?
This is life, this is life.

Do not teach us the etiquette of life,
do not show us your sympathy.
We have seen every shade of the world,
believe what we say.
The restlessness, the yearning, this frenzy,
this is life, this is life.
They boast in the open, they have drunk today.

Your ostentation is visible,
you have mistaken the storm for a shore.
This path leads to ruin, consider,
turn back, heed our words.
Turn back, heed our words.
This is a false intoxication, this false joy,
what kind of life is this, what kind of life?
This is life, this is life.
They boast in the open, they have drunk today.

These ties, these bonds, are a deceit, a deceit,
we no longer trust even in God.
Expand the hem of your heart just a little,
where there are thorns, there will be flowers.
That is a false tale, you have fabricated,
that is life, that is life.

They boast in the open, they have drunk today,
or the Saqi has shown them grace.
The Saqi has shown them grace.
We find our senses in our unconscious state,
this is life, this is life,
what kind of life is this, what kind of life?
This is life, this is life.
