mere shav par wah roye ho
jiske aansu main haala
aah bhare wah jo ho surbhit
madira peekar matwala
de mujhko vee kandha jinke
pad mat dagmag hote ho
aur jalu us thaur
aur jalu us thaur jaha par
kabhi rahi ho madhushala
aur jalu us thaur jaha par
kabhi rahi ho madhushala

Let her weep above my dust,
Whose tears are wine's own trust.
Let sighs escape the lips that knew
The fragrant breath of brews.

Let shoulders bear me to the pyre,
Whose steps are firm, to rise higher.
And let me burn in that same place,
Where once a tavern held its grace.
And let me burn in that same place,
Where once a tavern held its grace.
