sakiya ek jaam wo bhi to de
sakiya ek jaam wo bhi to de
jo teri ankh se chalakta hai
sakiya sakiya sakiya
jo bhari hai teri surahi me
daur uska to roz chalta hai
sakiya ek jaam wo bhi to de

jo khariddar honge sasti ke
wo kahi or ladkhada lenge
jo khariddar honge sasti ke
wo kahi or ladkhada lenge
hum talabgaar us sarab ke hai
rindh piker jise sawarta hai
hum talabgaar us sarab ke hai
rindh piker jise sawarta hai
sakiya ek jaam wo bhi to de

apni dunia alag hai dunia se
hamko kya wasta jamane se
apni dunia alag hai dunia se
hamko kya wasta jamane se
jab jamane me rat hoti hai
pine walo ka din nikalta hai
jab jamane me rat hoti hai
pine walo ka din nikalta hai
sakiya ek jaam wo bhi to de

O, Cupbearer, a single draught, I crave,
O, Cupbearer, a single draught to save,
The one that spills from your own gaze,
O, Cupbearer, Cupbearer, in a daze.
The one that fills your ample urn,
Whose cycle, daily, does return,
O, Cupbearer, a single draught, I yearn.

Those who seek cheap and fleeting grace,
Elsewhere, their stumbling steps will trace,
Those who seek cheap and fleeting grace,
Elsewhere, their stumbling steps will trace.
We long for that celestial wine,
That drunk, the soul begins to shine,
We long for that celestial wine,
That drunk, the soul begins to shine,
O, Cupbearer, a single draught, divine.

Our world, a realm apart, serene,
From worldly cares, we are unseen,
Our world, a realm apart, serene,
From worldly cares, we are unseen.
When shadows fall upon the day,
For drinkers, then, the sun's bright ray,
When shadows fall upon the day,
For drinkers, then, the sun's bright ray,
O, Cupbearer, a single draught, convey.
