mai nashe me hu mai nashe me hu
dosto ne jab se choda mai maje me hu
mai nashe me hu mai nashe me hu
dosto ne jab se choda mai maje me hu
pi ke aansu hans raha hu kya karu majbur hu
pi ke aansu hans raha hu kya karu majbur hu
kaisa dushman dosto ki thokaro se chur hu
fir bhi jinda kya kahu kis silsile me hu mai nashe me hu

mai hu muphlish mai lafanga puchte ho naam kya
mai hu muphlish mai lafanga puchte ho naam kya
jaat kaisi kaisa ghar mujhko inse kaam kya
raaste me aankh khuli raste me hu mai nashe me hu

har burayi karke fir bhi mujhse rahna dur dur
har burayi karke fir bhi mujhse rahna dur dur
ae sharifo mai milu to mujhse rehna dur dur
janwar hu aadmi to dekhne me hu
mai nashe me hu mai nashe me hu
dosto ne jab se choda mai maje me hu mai nashe me hu

I am drunk, I am adrift,
Since friends departed, my spirit's swift.
I am drunk, I am adrift,
Since friends departed, my spirit's swift.
Drinking tears, I laugh, a captive's plight,
Drinking tears, I laugh, lost in the night.
Shattered by the blows of once-loved might,
Yet I live, in what weave, in what light? I am drunk.

A pauper's rogue, my name, you seek to know?
A pauper's rogue, my name, you seek to know?
What caste, what home, from these, I let go.
In the road I awoke, in the road I now flow, I am drunk.

Having done all ill, keep your distance, stay away,
Having done all ill, keep your distance, stay away,
O righteous ones, from me, turn away.
A beast I am, but in form, a man, I say.
I am drunk, I am adrift,
Since friends departed, my spirit's swift. I am drunk.
