pee ke yaad aaye piya
hosh me jab bhi yaad kiya
piya mora kaanpe jiya
pee ke yaad aaye piya
hosh me jab bhi yaad kiya
piya mora kaanpe jiya
pee ke yaad aaye piya

humko khabar thi ke aise bhi din aayenge
daam daman se nikal jayenge
humko khabar thi ke aise bhi din aayenge
daam daman se nikal jayenge
tune daman kyu na siya
kyu na siya
pee ke yaad aaye piya
hosh me jab bhi yaad kiya
piya mora kaanpe jiya
pee ke yaad aaye piya

haal bhale hai chaal nahi hai
koi baat nahi
haal bhale hai chaal nahi hai
maal bahut hai chaal nahi hai
tune rumal kyu na diya
kyu na diya
pee ke yaad aaye piya
hosh me jab bhi yaad kiya
piya mora kaanpe jiya
pee ke yaad aaye piya
hosh me jab bhi yaad kiya
piya mora kaanpe jiya
pee ke yaad aaye piya

In the wine of memory, my Beloved, I taste
And in each lucid breath, your ghost is chased.
My heart trembles, a leaf in a phantom breeze,
In the wine of memory, my Beloved, I appease.

I knew these days would come, a bitter tide,
Where the threads of fortune would unravel, and hide.
I knew these days would come, a bitter plight,
Where the threads of fortune would vanish in the night.
Why, Beloved, did you not mend my tear?
Why not bind the wound, and quell the fear?
In the wine of memory, my Beloved, I taste
And in each lucid breath, your ghost is chased.
My heart trembles, a leaf in a phantom breeze,
In the wine of memory, my Beloved, I appease.

Though fortune smiles, my steps are slow, it's true,
No matter, for my spirit's still in tune with you.
Though riches gleam, a comfort I lack,
No handkerchief to wipe the tears, to bring me back.
Why, Beloved, did you not offer that grace?
Why did you leave me in this desolate space?
In the wine of memory, my Beloved, I taste
And in each lucid breath, your ghost is chased.
My heart trembles, a leaf in a phantom breeze,
In the wine of memory, my Beloved, I appease.
In each lucid breath, your ghost is chased.
My heart trembles, a leaf in a phantom breeze,
In the wine of memory, my Beloved, I appease.
