tera nam leke jiye jate hai hum
na jamane se shikwa na tujhse sanam
na jamane se shikwa na tujhse sanam
mile aasu jo piye jate hai hum
tera nam leke jiye jate hai hum

hui dur hu mai tere paas aakar
bujhana pada hai shama ko jalakar
hui dur hu mai tere paas aakar
bujhana pada hai shama ko jalakar
meri kashti dubi kinare pe aakar
gawara ye gum kiye jate hai hum
tera nam lekar jiye jate hai hum

nashe me sunaya hai apna fasana
kahi aapne kuch bura to na mana
nashe me sunaya hai apna fasana
kahi aapne kuch bura to na mana
hame maf karna ye dil hai diwana
raho khush dua diye jate hai hum
tera nam lekar jiye jate hai hum
na jamane se shikwa na tujhse sanam
mile aasu jo piye jate hai hum
tera nam lekar jiye jate hai hum

Your name, a breath, the life we breathe,
No world's complaint, nor love's deceit.
No world's complaint, nor love's deceit.
Tears we drink, a bitter sweet,
Your name, a breath, the life we breathe.

Though near, I'm distant in my plea,
Extinguished now the light for thee,
Though near, I'm distant in my plea,
Extinguished now the light for thee.
My ship did sink, near the sea,
This grief we bear, eternally.
Your name, a breath, the life we breathe.

Inebriated, I shared my tale,
Did you find offense, my heart to flail?
Inebriated, I shared my tale,
Did you find offense, my heart to flail?
Forgive us, love, this heart's travail,
May joy be yours, our blessings hail.
Your name, a breath, the life we breathe.
No world's complaint, nor love's deceit.
Tears we drink, a bitter sweet,
Your name, a breath, the life we breathe.
