bahar se meharban ander se beiman
bahar se meharban ander se beiman
dekha tera jaha
to ghabra ke pee gaye, ghabra ke pee gaye
ghabra ke pee gaye, ghabra ke pee gaye
taro bhari thi raat, fir dosto ka sath
taro bhari thi raat, fir dosto ka sath
acchi lagi ye baat
to lehra ke pee gaye, ghabra ke pee gaye
lehra ke pee gaye, ghabra ke pee gaye

duniya ke ranj-o-gham se to
acchi hai bekhudi
duniya ke ranj-o-gham se to
acchi hai bekhudi
apno ke har sitam se to
acchi hai bekhudi
ye zehar hai sharab, mana ki hai kharab
ye zehar hai sharab, mana ki hai kharab
dil ko magar janab
samjha ke pee gaye, samjha ke pee gaye
lehra ke pee gaye, ghabra ke pee gaye

todo na dil huzur, abhi hum nashe me hai
todo na dil huzur, abhi hum nashe me hai
rehne do gham se dur, abhi hum nashe me hai
peete nahi the hum, lekin khuda kasam
peete nahi the hum, lekin khuda kasam
aise hue sitam
ke tang aa ke pee gaye, tang aa ke pee gaye
lehra ke pee gaye, ghabra ke pee gaye

peena burai hai na pilana burai hai
peena burai hai na pilana burai hai
naraz hum se kisliye sari khudai hai
apne liye to aaj peena hai ek ilaz
apne liye to aaj peena hai ek ilaz
har rasam, har riwaz ko
thukra ke pee gaye, thukra ke pee gaye
lehra ke pee gaye, ghabra ke pee gaye

taro bhari thi raat, fir dosto ka sath
taro bhari thi raat, fir dosto ka sath
acchi lagi ye baat
to lehra ke pee gaye, ghabra ke pee gaye
lehra ke pee gaye, ghabra ke pee gaye
samjha ke pee gaye, samjha ke pee gaye
samjha ke pee gaye, samjha ke pee gaye
tang aa ke pee gaye, thukra ke pee gaye
tang aa ke pee gaye, thukra ke pee gaye

Kind face, a heart of stone,
Kind face, a heart of stone.
Saw your world's cruel throne,
And drank in fear,
drank in fear,
drank in fear, drank in fear.

Stars ablaze at night, with comrades near,
Stars ablaze at night, with comrades near.
Found solace here,
and swayed and drank,
drank in fear, swayed and drank,
swayed and drank, drank in fear.

From the world's despair and pain,
better a lost mind.
From the world's despair and pain,
better a lost mind.
From the loved ones' cruel rain,
better a lost mind.
Though poison is the wine, its ruin known,
Though poison is the wine, its ruin known,
yet to the heart alone,
we reasoned and drank, reasoned and drank,
swayed and drank, drank in fear.

Do not break my heart, I am drunk still,
Do not break my heart, I am drunk still.
Let me from sorrow's hill, I am drunk still,
never drank before, but by God’s will,
never drank before, but by God’s will,
such cruelties did spill,
that weary, we drank, weary, we drank,
swayed and drank, drank in fear.

Drinking is no sin, nor to offer it,
Drinking is no sin, nor to offer it.
Why is all the world now against it?
For myself today, it's a cure I’ve found,
For myself today, it's a cure I’ve found,
to every creed, unbound,
we spurned and drank, spurned and drank,
swayed and drank, drank in fear.

Stars ablaze at night, with comrades near,
Stars ablaze at night, with comrades near.
Found solace here,
and swayed and drank, drank in fear,
swayed and drank, drank in fear,
reasoned and drank, reasoned and drank,
reasoned and drank, reasoned and drank,
weary, we drank, spurned and drank,
weary, we drank, spurned and drank.
