aansuo ko sharab kahte hai
zindagi ko ajaab kahte hai
humse miliye to soch samajh kar miliye
log humko kharab kahte hai

maikada aa
maikada aur saja de saaqi
maikada aur saja de saaqi
apni palko ko bichha de saaqi
maikada aur saja de saaqi
maikada aur

dar tera chhodkar na jaau saaqi
dar tera chhodkar na jaau saaqi
dar tera chhodkar na jaau saaqi
aisa diwana bana de saaqi
aisa diwana bana de saaqi
apni palko ko bichha de saaqi
maikada aur saja de saaqi
maikada

teri aankhe hai, chhalakte saagar
teri aankhe hai, chhalakte saagar
teri aankhe hai, chhalakte saagar
inhi aankho se peela de saaqi
inhi aankho se peela de saaqi
apni palko ko bichha de saaqi
maikada aur saja de saaqi
maikada

agar peelana hai mohabbat ki sharab
agar peelana hai mohabbat ki sharab
agar peelana hai mohabbat ki sharab
jaam hontho se laga de saaqi
jaam hontho se laga de saaqi
apni palko ko bichha de saaqi
maikada
maikada aur saja de saaqi
maikada aur saja de saaqi
saja de saaqi, saja de saaqi
saja de saaqi

They call tears the wine of sorrow,
Life, a torment we must borrow.
Meet us, then, with thoughtful care,
For they call us broken, beyond repair.

The tavern, come,
Adorn it, oh cup-bearer, adorn,
Spread forth your lashes, forlorn.
The tavern, come,
Adorn.

Your door, I shall not leave behind,
Your door, nowhere else to find,
Your door, I shall not leave behind,
Make me a madman of this kind,
Make me a madman of this kind,
Spread forth your lashes, resigned.
The tavern, come,
Adorn.

Your eyes, a brimming ocean's swell,
Your eyes, where secrets dwell,
Your eyes, a brimming ocean's spell,
From those same eyes, let the nectar fell,
From those same eyes, let the nectar swell,
Spread forth your lashes, as farewell.
The tavern, come,
Adorn.

If you would serve love's sweet fire,
If you would serve love's desire,
If you would serve love's pyre,
Press the cup to lips, higher,
Press the cup to lips, higher,
Spread forth your lashes, as you tire.
The tavern,
Adorn it, oh cup-bearer, adorn.
Adorn it, oh cup-bearer, adorn.
Adorn, adorn.
Adorn.
