tum sharabi ho badi shan se kahte ho tum
khake jhuthi kasam se kahte ho tum
main jo peete nahi jeete nahi mar jate hain
baat shaitan ki inshan se kahte ho tum
peete hain jo milake jawani sahrab me
peete hain jo milake jawani sahrab me
bhule hain zindgi ki kahani sharab me
peete hain jo milake jawani sahrab me
bhule hain zindgi ki kahani sharab me
peete hain jo milake jawani sahrab me
sharab me, sharab me
peete hain jo milake jawani sharab me
peete hain jo milake jawani sahrab me
peete hain jo milake jawani sahrab me

peene walo ko ye diwana bana deti hai
akl ko hosh se begana bana deti hai
bewafa hai ye tere sath karegi na wafa
iski aadat hai sitam aur hai fitrat me zafaa
iako dilwar na samajh iski adaao pe na ja
jeb ho jayegi kahli to karegi ye daga
teri zajbaat ko pabal ye kar dalegi
aaj pa legi magar kal ye tujhe talegi
peete hain jo milake jawani sharab me
peete hain jo milake jawani sharab me
bhule hain zindgi ki kahani sharab me

tu ise peeke bahak jayega
raaz e raaj na rah payega
tujhko aiyaas bana degi sharab
sabki nazro se gira degi sharab
tandrusti na rahegi baaki
fir kahega ki bura hai saaki
rah na jayega badan par kabu
royega apni jawani par tu
peete hain jo milake jawani sharab me
peete hain jo milake jawani sharab me
bhule hain zindgi ki kahani sharab me
peete hain jo milake jawani sharab me
sharab me, sharab me
peete hain jo milake jawani sharab me
peete hain jo milake jawani sahrab me
peete hain jo milake jawani sahrab me
peete hain jo milake jawani sahrab me

You boast of it, a drunkard's pride, you claim,
And swear on false oaths, in a deceitful game.
"I, who don't drink, cannot live, but die,"
You speak of devils, to the human eye.

They drink, and mix youth with the wine's fire,
They drink, forgetting life's desire,
They drink, and mix youth with the wine's sway,
And life's long story slips away.
In wine, in wine, they drown the day.
They drink, and mix youth with the wine's art,
They drink, and mix youth with a breaking heart.
They drink, and mix youth with the wine's start.

It turns the drinker into a madman's plea,
It steals the senses, sets the spirit free.
It is a faithless lover, it will never stay true,
Its nature is to wound, its habit to subdue.
Do not call it your beloved, don't trust its guise,
Your pockets will empty, betrayed by its lies.
It will make your emotions a raging flood,
Today it embraces, tomorrow it sheds your blood.
They drink, and mix youth with the wine's tear,
They drink, forgetting life's fear.

You'll lose control in its embrace,
Secrets will vanish without a trace.
The wine will make you a profligate soul,
And cast you from grace, beyond control.
No health will remain, no strength to find,
Then you will blame the one behind.
Your body's limits will fade and fall,
You'll weep for youth beyond recall.
They drink, and mix youth with the wine's plight,
They drink, forgetting day and night.
In wine, in wine, they lose their light.
They drink, and mix youth with the wine's art,
They drink, and mix youth with a breaking heart.
They drink, and mix youth with the wine's start.
They drink, and mix youth with the wine's part.
