nadiya se dariya, dariya se sagar
sagar se gehra jaam, sagar se gehra jaam
ho ho ho jaam me dub gayi yaaro mere jivan ki har shaam
nadiya se dariya, dariya se sagar
sagar se gehra jaam, sagar se gehra jaam
ho ho ho jaam me dub gayi yaaro mere jivan ki har shaam

jo na piye woh kya jaane, pite hai kyu ham diwane yaar aha
jab se hamne pina sikha, jina sikha marna sikha yaar aha
jo na piye woh kya jaane, pite hai kyu ham diwane yaar aha
jab se hamne pina sikha, jina sikha marna sikha yaar aha
ho ham jab yu nashe me dagmagaane lag gaye
ho ho ho dil ki bechaini ko aaya thoda sa aaraam
nadiya se dariya, dariya se sagar
sagar se gehra jaam, sagar se gehra jaam
ho ho ho jaam me dub gayi yaaro mere jivan ki har shaam

mera kya mai gum ka maara, nashe me aalam hai sara yaar aha
kisi ko daulat ka nasha, kahi muhobat ka nasha yaar aha
mera kya mai gum ka maara, nashe me aalam hai sara yaar aha
kisi ko daulat ka nasha, kahi muhobat ka nasha yaar aha
ho kahkar ai sharaabi sab pukaare abb mujhe
ho ho ho aur koyi tha yeh toh nahi tha pahele mera naam
nadiya se dariya, dariya se sagar
sagar se gehra jaam, sagar se gehra jaam
ho ho ho jaam me dub gayi yaaro mere jivan ki har shaam

From stream to river, river to the sea,
a goblet deeper, a goblet as deep as can be.
Oh, in this drink, my friends, my every evening drowned,
from stream to river, river to the sea,
a goblet deeper, a goblet as deep as can be.
Oh, in this drink, my friends, my every evening drowned.

Those who don't drink, how can they know?
Why we drink, we mad ones, you see, ah!
Since we learned to drink,
we learned to live, learned to die, ah!
Those who don't drink, how can they know?
Why we drink, we mad ones, you see, ah!
Since we learned to drink,
we learned to live, learned to die, ah!
Oh, when we sway, drunk in this state,
Oh, the restlessness of the heart found a little ease.
From stream to river, river to the sea,
a goblet deeper, a goblet as deep as can be.
Oh, in this drink, my friends, my every evening drowned.

What am I? A mourner in sorrow, the world in a haze of drink, ah!
Some are drunk on wealth,
some on love's embrace, ah!
What am I? A mourner in sorrow, the world in a haze of drink, ah!
Some are drunk on wealth,
some on love's embrace, ah!
Oh, they call out "O drunkard" to me now,
Oh, before, this was not my name.
From stream to river, river to the sea,
a goblet deeper, a goblet as deep as can be.
Oh, in this drink, my friends, my every evening drowned.
