kaun hai jisne may nahi chakkhi
kaun jhuthi kasam uthata hai
maykade se jo bach niklta hai
teri aankho mein dub jata hai
piye ja raha hu jiye ja raha hu
jawani ko dhokha diye ja rha hu

judai hi tha jindgi ka mukddar
bahut ji chuka lijiye ja raha hu
bahut jkham khaye magar rasto par
charaga to kuch kuch kiye ja raha hu

bhulana mujhe itna aansa na hoga
kayi dastane diye ja raha hu
kashish koi aisi hai jine se aarif
ke mar mar ke bhi main jiye ja raha hu

Who has not tasted the wine's sweet fire,
Who swears an oath that’s not a lie?
The one who flees the tavern's pyre,
In your own eyes, they choose to die.
Drinking still, and living still,
My youth, I trick against my will.

Parting's fate, my life's decree,
I’ve lived enough, now I depart.
Wounds I've borne, for all to see,
Yet light a flicker in the dark, my heart.

To forget me, a simple task it's not,
Stories I leave, a legacy to impart.
A pull to life, a binding knot,
That dying, still, I play my part.
