kabhi un madhbhari aankho se piya tha ik jaam
kabhi un madhbhari aankho se piya tha ik jaam
aaj tak hosh nahi hosh nahi hosh nahi
aaj tak hosh nahi hosh nahi hosh nahi
hosh itna hai ke main tujh se farmosh nahi
ye alag baat hai saqi ke mujhe hosh nahi
ye alag baat hai saqi ke mujhe hosh nahi

This much I know: I haven't forgotten you.
It's a different matter, Saqi, that I have no awareness.

Once I drank a cup from those honeyed eyes,
Once I drank a cup from those honeyed eyes,
To this day, no awareness, no awareness, no awareness.
To this day, no awareness, no awareness, no awareness.
