mere mahbub mehfil me jo sare aam aa gaye
surahi jhuk gayi paimano ke salam aa gaye

aur phir mehfil me paimana jo laga jhumne
to jhumta hi jhumta chala gaya
mehfil me paimana jo laga jhumne
to jhumta hi jhumta chala gaya
sakhi ke gore hath laga chumne chumne chumne
to chumata hi chumata chala gaya
mehfil me paimana jo laga jhumne
to jhumta hi jhumta chala gaya

lagta hai sadgi me bhi hansi hansi
hota hai bat bat pe yakin yakin
lagta hai sadgi me bhi hansi hansi
hota hai bat bat pe yaki yaki
to hum khayal humsafar to hum nashi
mere mahbub sa koi nahi koi nahi koi nahi
mere mahbub ko jo bhi laga dekhne
to dekhta hi dekhta chala gaya
mere mahbub ko jo bhi laga dekhne
to dekhta hi dekhta chala gaya
mehfil me paimana jo laga jhumne
to jhumta hi jhumta chala gaya

niyat kya hai teri khub janti hu
irade ko tere sanam mai pehchanti hu
niyat kya hai teri khub janti hu
irade ko tere sanam mai pehchanti hu
matlab teri nazar ka janti hu
phir bhi mai isko manti hu manti hu
bato se teri dil jo laga sochne
to sochta hi sochta chala gaya
bato se teri dil jo laga sochne
to sochta hi sochta chala gaya
mehfil me paimana jo laga jhumne
to jhumta hi jhumta chala gaya

wo nazar baz ka dil ada aur naz ka dil
wo beniyaz ka dil ki har andaz ka dil
meri umang me har dang me
har bhang me har rang me o ho
ghataye janti hai hawaye janti hai
nigahe janti hai ye bahe janti hai
aankho me shararat hai shararat me nazakat hai
nazakat me adawat hai adawat me mohabbat hai
ye behisab aankhe ye nim khwab aankhe
ye purshbab aankhe ye benakab aankhe
idhar udhar yaha waha mera sanam gaya jaha
aankho me mai jo uski laga dubne
to dubta hi dubta chala gaya
aankho me mai jo uski laga dubne
to dubta hi dubta chala gaya
sakhi ke gore hath laga chumne chumne chumne
to chumata hi chumata chala gaya
mehfil me paimana jo laga jhumne
to jhumta hi jhumta chala gaya
to jhumta hi jhumta chala gaya

When my beloved graced the gathering, unveiled,
The wine jugs bowed, to the goblets, salutations hailed.

And then, the goblet, in the revelry, began to sway,
And swayed and swayed, it did, and would not stay.
In the gathering, the goblet began to sway,
And swayed and swayed, it did, and would not stay.
Kissing the fair hands of the beloved, again and again,
And kissed and kissed, and would not restrain.
In the gathering, the goblet began to sway,
And swayed and swayed, it did, and would not stay.

In simplicity, beauty blooms,
In every word, belief consumes.
In simplicity, beauty blooms,
In every word, belief consumes.
A kindred spirit, a companion true,
None like my beloved, in all I pursue.
Whoever gazed upon my love's dear face,
Looked and looked, and could not break the trace.
Whoever gazed upon my love's dear face,
Looked and looked, and could not break the trace.
In the gathering, the goblet began to sway,
And swayed and swayed, it did, and would not stay.

Your intent, I know it well,
Your desires, my heart can tell.
Your intent, I know it well,
Your desires, my heart can tell.
The meaning in your gaze, I know,
And yet, I yield, and let it flow.
My heart, when it begins to ponder,
Over your words, it does wander.
My heart, when it begins to ponder,
Over your words, it does wander.
In the gathering, the goblet began to sway,
And swayed and swayed, it did, and would not stay.

That heart of the gazer, of charm, of pride,
That heart of the heedless, of every stride.
In my fervor, in every dance,
In every brokenness, in every chance, oh.
The clouds know, the winds perceive,
These eyes know, these arms believe.
Mischief in the eyes, tenderness residing,
Tenderness within, love colliding.
These countless eyes, these half-dreaming eyes,
These passionate eyes, these unmasked eyes.
Here, there, around, my love's the world,
In his eyes, I began to be unfurled.
In his eyes, I began to be undone,
And sunk and sunk, till the race was run.
In his eyes, I began to be undone,
And sunk and sunk, till the race was run.
Kissing the fair hands of the beloved, again and again,
And kissed and kissed, and would not restrain.
In the gathering, the goblet began to sway,
And swayed and swayed, it did, and would not stay.
And swayed and swayed, it did, and would not stay.
