dhalak rahi ho, tan ke ghat se
sangini jab jivan haala
paatr garal ka le jab antim
saaqi ho aane wala
hath paras bhule pyaale ka
hath paras bhule pyaale ka
swaad sura jibha bhule
kaano me tum kahti rahna
kaano me tum kahti rahna
madhukan pyala madhushala
madhukan pyala madhushala
kaano me tum kahti rahna

Spilling forth, a flood unbound,
From the vessel of the frame,
When life’s intoxicating brew,
Turns bitter, burning flame.

The poisoned chalice raised at last,
As the final server nears,
Forgotten touch upon the glass,
Forgotten taste, all tears.

Whisper then into my ears,
Whisper then into my ears,
The sweetness of the honeyed wine,
The tavern of all years.
The tavern of all years.
Whisper then into my ears.
