mujhko peena hai pene do mujhko jeena hai jeene do
mujhko peena hai pene do mujhko jeena hai jeene do
tum ameer ho khushnaseeb ho mao garib hu badanasib hu
pi pi ke zakhm apne seene do mujhko peena hai pene do
mujhko jeena hai jeene do

agar thake ho aap to suno
khushi me aap thoda gum bharo lagao ghunt tum bhi pyar se
meri tarah piyo aur jiyo lagao ghunt tum bhi pyar se
meri tarah piyo aur jiyo tute gum dekh na sake
dil ka tutta kya dekhte tum ameer ho khushnaseeb ho
mao garib hu badanasib hu pi pi ke zakhm apne seene do
mujhko peena hai pene do mujhko jeena hai jeene do

tum piyo to ganga jal hai ye
hum agar piye to hai saharab pani jaisa hai hamara khun
aur tumhara khun hai gulab pani jaisa hai hamara khun
aur tumhara khun hai gulab sab khayal sab fareb hai
apni subha na sham hai tum ameer ho khushnaseeb ho
mao garib hu badanasib hu pi pi ke zakhm apne seene do
mujhko peena hai pene do mujhko jeena hai jeene do

kisiki yaar parwah kyu karu
kisi se yaar mai kyu daru is duniya ne mujhko kya diya
mai iski uski fikar kyu karu is duniya ne mujhko kya diya
mai iski uski fikar kyu karu ye bhala hua mili sharab
warna kise din guzarte tum ameer ho khushnaseeb ho
mao garib hu badanasib hu pi pi ke zakhm apne seene do
mujhko peena hai pene do mujhko jeena hai jeene do

Let me drink, let me drink, let me live, let me live,
Let me drink, let me drink, let me live, let me live.
You are rich, fortune's favored child, I am poor, ill-starred,
Let my wounds fester, let me drink, let me drink,
Let me live, let me live.

If weary, then listen close,
In your joy, some sorrow infuse, take a draught with love,
Drink as I drink, and live, take a draught with love,
Drink as I drink, and live, you cannot bear to see broken grief,
Can you watch a heart break? You are rich, fortune's favored child,
I am poor, ill-starred, let my wounds fester,
Let me drink, let me drink, let me live, let me live.

Your drink is the Ganges' pure flow,
Ours, if we drink, is but wine, our blood is like water,
And yours, the rose's bloom, our blood is like water,
And yours, the rose's bloom, all thoughts, all deceit,
We have no morning, no evening, you are rich, fortune's favored child,
I am poor, ill-starred, let my wounds fester,
Let me drink, let me drink, let me live, let me live.

Why should I care for another's friend?
Why should I fear anyone? What has this world given me?
Why should I fret for it or them? What has this world given me?
Why should I fret for it or them? It is well, I found this drink,
Otherwise, how would I have passed the days? You are rich, fortune's favored child,
I am poor, ill-starred, let my wounds fester,
Let me drink, let me drink, let me live, let me live.
