na do hum ko ilzaam, ke hum peete hain
na do hum ko ilzaam, ke hum peete hain
rehne do pee ke hi to, janab hum jeete hain
na do hum ko ilzaam, ke hum peete hain

zindagi se hume bhi bahaut pyar tha
hosh mein rah ke par jeena dushwar tha
hosh mein rah ke par jeena dushwar tha
chhodo na wo zindagi hain azaad hum jeete hain
na do hum ko ilzaam, ke hum peete hain
rehne do pee ke hi to, janab hum jeete hain

mera ban ke mujhe tokta jo koi
main na aati yaha rokta jo koi
main na aati yaha rokta jo koi
chhodo na ye ghamo ka
hisaab hum jeete hain
na do hum ko ilzaam, ke hum peete hain
rehne do pee ke hi to, janab hum jeete hain

pura jab tak irada karenge nahin
pee ke bhi ye zahar, hum marenge nahin
pee ke bhi ye zahar, hum marenge nahin
hone do haal apna
kharab hum jeete hain
na do hum ko ilzaam, ke hum peete hain
rehne do pee ke hi to, janab hum jeete hain
na do hum ko ilzaam, ke hum peete hain

Do not condemn me, for I drink,
Do not condemn me, for I drink,
Let it be, for in this state, kind sir, I live,
Do not condemn me, for I drink.

Life, too, I loved with all my heart,
But to live sane was a painful art,
But to live sane was a painful art,
Forget that life, in freedom, we live,
Do not condemn me, for I drink,
Let it be, for in this state, kind sir, I live.

If someone had claimed me as their own,
If someone had held me, I'd not have flown,
If someone had held me, I'd not have flown,
Forget these sorrows, in their account, we live,
Do not condemn me, for I drink,
Let it be, for in this state, kind sir, I live.

Until we've willed to reach the end,
Even drunk on poison, we won't descend,
Even drunk on poison, we won't descend,
Let our condition worsen, as we live,
Do not condemn me, for I drink,
Let it be, for in this state, kind sir, I live,
Do not condemn me, for I drink.
