piye jao jiye jao
piye jao jiye jao na, jeet apni na har apni
mujhe kaato me rahne do, sambhalo tum bahar apni
piye jao jiye jao

mazil bhule chalte chalte, rakh udaa di apni jalate jalate
aage pichhe yad ka saya, apna paraya koi sath na aaya
pyar ki rahe suni rahe, kaun sunega pukar apni
piye jao jiye jao

sathi bichade gulshan chhuta, hath me aate aate daman chhuta
ulti sidhi baat na puchho, dharm na dekho mera jat na pucho
ishq ka mazahab sabko tare, aise ye dunia sanvar apni
piye jao jiye jao

paya kya hai khona kya hai, lut le jo bhi chahe rona kya hai
apna koi sath nahi hai, hath me tere unka hath nahi hai
tu bhi akela dil bhi tanha, rat kahi bhi guzar apni
piye jao jiye jao na, jeet apni na har apni
mujhe kaato me rahne do, sambhalo tum bahar apni
piye jao jiye jao na

Drink, and live,
Drink, and live, neither victory, nor defeat is mine.
Let me dwell amongst thorns, you, tend your spring.
Drink, and live, neither victory, nor defeat is mine.
Let me dwell amongst thorns, you, tend your spring.

Lost on the path, walking, walking, ashes scattered, burning, burning.
Shadows of memory, before and behind, no companion came.
Love's paths, desolate paths, who will heed my call?
Drink, and live.

Companions departed, the garden left behind, the hem slipped, just as it was grasped.
Ask not crooked or straight, do not inquire my faith, nor my caste.
Love's religion saves all, thus, this world, make it beautiful.
Drink, and live.

What is gained, what is to be, let them plunder, why weep?
None are yours, their hand is not in your hand.
You are alone, the heart is lonely too, spend the night, wherever you may be.
Drink, and live, neither victory, nor defeat is mine.
Let me dwell amongst thorns, you, tend your spring.
Drink, and live.
