saaki se mohabbat hoti hai har roz shikaayat hoti hai
peene ko mere peena na kaho yunhi toh ibaadat hoti hai

koyi khwaahish baaki oh saaki saaki re saaki saaki
aa paas aa rahe na jaaye koyi khwaahish baaki

Love blossoms from the wine-bearer's gaze,
Each day a complaint, a whispered maze.
Do not call this drinking, what I crave,
For this is devotion, the soul I save.

What drunkard is he, if not lost in the haze?
What drunkard is he, who repents in a daze?
What drunkard is he, whose heart knows no pain?
Lost, with no sorrow, and no friend to sustain?
Oh, wine-bearer, come closer, closer near,
Let no desire remain, banish all fear.
Oh, wine-bearer, come closer, closer near,
Let no desire remain, banish all fear.

What drunkard is he, if not lost in the haze?
What drunkard is he, who repents in a daze?
What drunkard is he, whose heart knows no pain?
Lost, with no sorrow, and no friend to sustain?
Oh, wine-bearer, come closer, closer near,
Let no desire remain, banish all fear.
Oh, wine-bearer, come closer, closer near,
Let no desire remain, banish all fear.

Do not wander the streets where love resides,
For love is a whisper, where shame presides.
Yet love is my God, my name, the lover's plea,
Love is my God, and the lover is me.
On love's every step, beauty's death is the art,
Love's sacrifice is the lover's very heart.
Oh, wine-bearer, come closer, closer near,
Let no desire remain, banish all fear.
Oh, wine-bearer, come closer, closer near,
Let no desire remain, banish all fear.

Those who enter the tavern, learn to imbibe,
Those who laugh at us, first learn to thrive.
Those who enter the tavern, learn to imbibe,
Those who laugh at us, first learn to thrive.
Happiness flees you, grief draws so near,
Your lover's condition, without you, is clear.
Oh, wine-bearer, come closer, closer near,
Let no desire remain, banish all fear.
Oh, wine-bearer, come closer, closer near,
Let no desire remain, banish all fear.
Oh, wine-bearer, come closer, closer near,
Let no desire remain, banish all fear.
Oh, wine-bearer, come closer, closer near,
Let no desire remain, banish all fear.
