aankhe aankhe maikhana dil pine ko majbur hai
roko na roko na roko na
pite pite umar kate ulfat ka ye dastur hai
pilo na pilo na pilo na

ye khamoshi mere hamnashi sun kya kahe
na arzu na koi zustzu pyasi rahe
ye khamoshi mere hamnashi sun kya kahe
na arzu na koi zustzu pyasi rahe
haule haule dil dhadke
kuch na kuch hona jarur hai
hole na hole na hole na

hai husn ki hasi chandani tum naha lo
hai chalakta nasha jane ja jam uthalo
hai husn ki hasi chandani tum naha lo
hai chalakta nasha jane ja jam uthalo
kali kali julfe jinke aage sab benur hai
khelo na khelo na khelo na

na ji jala suru silsila kare pyar ka
ye surkhiya jawa sokhiya lu mai chura
aaja sanam ruke na kadam jo badh gaye
ye chaman ye gulbadan hai janam tere
chalke chalke mast jawani ke
jo nashe me chur hai
aao na aao na aao na
aankhe aankhe maikhana dil pine ko majbur hai
roko na roko na roko na
pite pite umar kate ulfat ka ye dastur hai
pilo na pilo na pilo na

Eyes, eyes, the tavern, the heart, compelled to drink,
Restrained, no, restrained, no, restrained, no.
Drinking, drinking, years spent, love’s decree,
Drink, yes, drink, yes, drink, yes.

This silence, my companion, listen, what it says,
No desire, no seeking, thirsty it stays.
This silence, my companion, listen, what it says,
No desire, no seeking, thirsty it stays.
Slowly, slowly, the heart beats,
Something, something must surely come to be.
Halt, no, halt, no, halt, no.

Beauty's laughter, a silver moon, bathe within,
The overflowing intoxication, beloved, raise the cup.
Beauty's laughter, a silver moon, bathe within,
The overflowing intoxication, beloved, raise the cup.
Dark, dark tresses, before which all else is dim,
Play, yes, play, yes, play, yes.

Do not burn the soul, begin love's tale,
These crimson youthfulness, I'll steal them all.
Come, beloved, do not halt the step that has begun,
This garden, this rose-bodied one, is yours, my love.
Overflowing, overflowing, of youthful abandon,
Those intoxicated in their pleasure.
Come, yes, come, yes, come, yes.
Eyes, eyes, the tavern, the heart, compelled to drink,
Restrained, no, restrained, no, restrained, no.
Drinking, drinking, years spent, love’s decree,
Drink, yes, drink, yes, drink, yes.
