ye sitam kya hai bana kar hamko diwana chale
ye sitam kya hai bana kar hamko diwana chale
do ghadi se to kam se kam daure paymana chale
ye sitam kya hai bana kar hamko diwana chale

tumse milkar yuhi hum sharabi ho gaye
tumse milkar yuhi hum sharabi ho gaye
dekhna aankho ke dore bhi gulabi ho gaye
us najar me lo asar tum do ghadi se to kam se kam
daure paymana chale ye sitam kya hai bana kar
hamko diwana chale

zindagi me aisi rate roz aane ki nahi
zindagi me aisi rate roz aane ki nahi
aa bhi jao ye ghadi daman bachane ki nahi
ab adhura chhod kar tum dil ka afsana chale
do ghadi to kam se kam daure paymana chale
ye sitam kya hai bana kar hamko diwana chale

What cruelty is this, to leave me crazed?
What cruelty is this, to leave me crazed?
At least for two moments, let the goblet graze.
What cruelty is this, to leave me crazed?

Meeting you, I became a drunkard's plight,
Meeting you, I became a drunkard's plight.
Behold, my eyes, now flushed with rosy light.
In that gaze, the spell, at least for two moments,
Let the goblet graze. What cruelty is this, to leave me crazed?

Such nights in life will never come again,
Such nights in life will never come again.
Come, embrace this hour, no time to restrain.
Now, leaving half-told, the heart's own tale,
At least for two moments, let the goblet graze.
What cruelty is this, to leave me crazed?
