yeh hasin shaam gardish me jaam mehfil me rang chhaaya
jo hai dil ka nur uska hujur aakhir salaam aaya
yeh hasin shaam gardish me jaam mehfil me rang chhaaya
jo hai dil ka nur uska hujur aakhir salaam aaya
salaam aaya salaam aaya salaam aaya

jaagi umang bajane de chang, behne de rang saaki
jaagi umang bajane de chang, behne de rang saaki
khusihiyo ka daur chalne de aur hasrat rahe na baaki
hai shad sham mehfil tamaam kasid payaam laaya
jo hai dil ka nur uska hujur aakhir salaam aaya
salaam aaya salaam aaya salaam aaya

pehlu nashin abb woh hasin woh mahtaab hoga
pehlu nashin abb woh hasin woh mahtaab hoga
jiska hijaab jiska shabaab bas laajawaab hoga
beikhtiyar hontho pe yaar tera hi naam aaya
jo hai dil ka nur uska hujur aakhir salaam aaya
salaam aaya salaam aaya salaam aaya

The evening's grace, the goblet's swirl, the hall ablaze with hue,
Where heart's own light, a presence bright, arrives, salutations true.
The evening's grace, the goblet's swirl, the hall ablaze with hue,
Where heart's own light, a presence bright, arrives, salutations true.
Salutations come, salutations come, salutations true.

Awake the joy, let music play, let colors freely flow, O Cupbearer,
Awake the joy, let music play, let colors freely flow, O Cupbearer,
Let joy's reign run, the longing done, with nothing more to bear.
This night of mirth, the whole earth, the messenger's message drew,
Where heart's own light, a presence bright, arrives, salutations true.
Salutations come, salutations come, salutations true.

Beside me now, a beauty blooms, a moonlit form so fair,
Beside me now, a beauty blooms, a moonlit form so fair,
Whose veil, whose bloom, defies all doom, beyond compare.
Unbidden, then, upon my lips, your name, my love, I knew,
Where heart's own light, a presence bright, arrives, salutations true.
Salutations come, salutations come, salutations true.
