Saaqii Kii Har Nigaah Pe Bal Khaa Ke Pii Gayaa

Lehron Se Kheltaa Hu'aa Lehraa Ke Pii Gayaa

In awe of every glance of the cup-bearer, I drank

I drank playing with the waves of joy

Ai Rahmat-E-Tamaam Merii Har Khataa Mu'aaf

Main Intihaa-E-Shauq Mein Ghabraa Ke Pii Gayaa

O all-merciful! Please forgive all my wrongs

I drank confounded by the extreme desire

Piitaa Bagair Izn Ye Kab Thii Meri Majaal

Dar-Pardaa Chashm-E-Yaar Kii Shah Paa Ke Pii Gayaa

I do not dare to drink without permission

But the patronage of veiled eyes of my beloved beckoned

Zaahid Ye Meri Shokhii-E-Rindaanaa Dekhnaa

Rahmat Ko Baaton Baaton Mein Bahlaa Ke Pii Gayaa

O abstinent! Look at the mischievousness of my drinking

I drank by befriending the forgiveness [of God]

Uudii Uudii Ghaataa'en Aatii Hain

MutriboN Kii Navaa'en Aatii Hain

Purple clouds are over-cast

And the sound of music is all around

Kis Ke Gesuu Khule Hain Saavan Mein

Mahkii Mahkii Havaa'en Aatii Hain

Whose tresses are open in the rains?

The winds are perfumed

Aao Sah'n-E-Chaman Mein Raqs Karen

Saaz Lekar Ghaataa'en Aatii Hain

Let us dance in the garden courtyard

The clouds brought music [with them]

Dekh Kar Unkii Ankhriyon Ko "Adam"

Maikadon Ko Havaa'en Aatii Hain

After seeing her eyes O Adam!

I can feel the ambience of tavern

Paas Rehtaa Hain door Rehtaa Hai

Ko'ii Dil Mein Zaroor Rehtaa Hai

Near and far, somebody lives

Somebody do lives in my heart

Jab Se Dekhaa Hain Unkii Aankhon Ko

Halka Halka Saroor Rehta Hai

From the time I have seen her eyes

I remain mildly intoxicated

Aise Rehte Hain Wo Mere Dil Mein

Jaise Zulmat Mein Noor Rehtaa Hai

My beloved lives in my heart, like

Light lives in darkness

Ab "Adam" Kaa Wo Haal Hai Har Qadam

Mast Rehtaa Hai choor Rehtaa Hai

"Adam" is of such a disposition that at every step

He remains intoxicated and ecstatic

Yeah Jo h Halka Halka Saroor Hai

Yeah Teri  Nazar Ka Qasoor Hai

K Sharab Peena Sikha Diya

This mild intoxication

Is because of your eyes

That taught me drinking

Tere pyaar Ne Teri Chaah Ne

Teri Bahkii Bahkii Nigaah Ne

Mujhe Ek Sharaabii Bana Diyaa

Your love and your longing

Your intoxicating glances

Made me a drunkard

Sharaab Kaisi, Khumaar Kaisa

Ye Sab Tumhari Nawazishe Hain

Pilaayi Hai Kis Nazar Se Tune

Ke Mujhko Apni Khabar Nahin Hai

What wine, what intoxication

All this is [due to] your kindness

You served me [wine] with your eyes such

That I have forgotten myself

Saaraa Jahaan Mast, Jahaan Kaa Nizaam Mast

Din Mast, Raat Mast, Saher Mast, Shaam Mast

Mast Shiisha, Mast Suboo, Mast Jaam Mast

Hai Teri Chashm-E-Mast Se Har Khaas-O-Aam Mast

The whole world is ecstatic, the order of the world is ecstatic

The day is ecstatic, so is dawn and so is evening

The glass, cup and wine are all ecstatic

Because of your intoxicating eyes, everyone and everything is ecstatic

Ye Jo Saaqii Har Tarah Kii Tere Maikhaane Mein Hai

Wo Bhi Thori Sii Jo In Aankhon Ke Paimaane Mein Hai

Of all the wines you have in your tavern

Serve me a little from your eyes

Sab Samajhtaa Hoon Teri Ish (??) Nazar Ai Saaqii

Kaam Karti Hai Nazar, Naam Hai Paimaane Kaa

I understand your alluring glances

That cause intoxication, instead of wine

Teraa Pyaar Hai Bas Meri Zindagii

Only your love is my life

Na Namaaz Aatii Hai Mujhko Na Wozoo Aataa Hai

Sajdaa Kar Letaa Hoon Jab Saamne Tu Aataa Hai

Neither I know prayers nor ablutions

I prostate whenever you come in front of me

Main Azal Se Bandaa-E-Ishq Hoon

Mujhe Zuhd-O-Kufr Kaa Gham Nahin

Mere Sar Ko Dar Teraa Mil Gayaa

Mujhe Ab Talaash-E-Haram Nahin

I am a follower of love since the beginning of life

[and] I do not care for piousness or irreligiousness

My head has found your house

Now I do not search for the mosque

Merii Bandagii Hai Wo Bandagii

Jo Ba-Qaid-E-Dair-O-Haram Nahin

Mera Ek Nazar Tumhein Dekhnaa

Baa-Khudaa Namaaz Se Kam Nahin

My devotion is such devotion

That is not bound by the mosque and the temple

When I see you once

By God, it is no less than a prayer

Teraa Pyaar Hai Bas Meri Zindagi

Only your love is my life

Qayaamat Mein Teraa Daagh-E-Muhabbat Lekar Uthuungaa

Teri Tasveer Us Dam Bhi Kaleje Se Lagi Hogi

On the day of judgment, I would rise with the scars of your love

Your image would be clinging to my heart on that day

Kyunki

Because

Teraa Pyaar Hai Bas Meri Zindagi

Only your love is my life

Terii Yaad Hai Meri Bandagi

Jo Teri Khushi, Wo Meri Khushi

Ye Mere Junoon Kaa Hai Mo'jizaa

Jahaan Apne Sar Ko Jhukaa Diyaa

Wahan Maine Kaaba Banaa Diyaa

Your remembrance is my prayer

[and] your wish is my wish

This is the miracle of my frenzy

That where ever I prostrated

A mosque was made there

Mere Baad Kisko Sataaoge?

On whom would you inflict pain after me?

Dil-Jalon Se Dil-Lagii Acchi Nahin

Rone Walon Se Hansi Acchi Nahin

Dillagi Hi Dillagi Mein Dil Gayaa

It is not nice to play with the emotions of sufferers

It is not good to laugh at the mourners

I lost my heart in [just in] play

O! Meraa Dil Gayaa, Dil Gayaa, Dil Gayaa

O my heart is gone!

Khudaa Ke Liye Apni Nazron Ko Roko Warna

Meraa Dil Gayaa, Dil Gayaa, Dil Gayaa

For God's sake change your glances, else

My heart is gone

Meri Tarah Khudaa Kare Teraa Kisi Pe Aaye Dil

Tu Bhi Kalejaa Thaam Ke Kahtaa Phire Ke Haye Dil

I pray to God that you also fall in love with someone

And suffer in separation with hands on your heart

Meraa Dil Gayaa, Dil Gayaa, Dil Gayaa

My heart is gone

Dillagi Hi Dillagi Mein Dil Gayaa

Dil Lagaane Ka Natija Mil Gayaa

Main To Rotaa hoon Ke Meraa Dil Gayaa

Tum kyun Hanste Ho Tumhein Kyaa Mil Gayaa?

I lost my heart just in fun

And got the measure of falling in love

I cry because my heart is lost

[but] why do you laugh, what did you get?

Acchaa Phir…..

Okay then…..

Mere Baad Kisko Sataaoge?

Mujhe Kis Tarah Se Mitaoge?

Kahaan Jaa Kar Teer Chalaaoge?

Meri Dosti Ki Balaayen Lo

Mujhe Haah Uthaa Kar Du'aaen Do

Tumhen Ek Qaatil Banaa Diyaa

To whom would you inflict pain after me?

How would you take me out of your life?

Where would you cast those arrow-like glances?

Value my friendship

[that] helped you to gain murderous charm

Mujhe Dekho Khvaaish-E-Jaan-E-JaaN

Main Wohi Hoon "Aslam"-E-Niim Jaan

Tumhein Itna Hosh Thaa Jab Kahaan

Na Chalaao Is Tarah Tum Zubaan

Karo Mera Shukriyaa Meh'rbaan

Tumhain Baat Karnaa Sikhaa Diyaa

Watch me, O my desire of life!

I am the same suffering "Aslam"

You were not even in your senses at that time

[so] don't argue with me in such a manner

[but] offer thanks to me

That I helped you articulate yourself

Yeah Joh Halka Halka Saroor Hai

Yeah Teri Nazar Ka Qasoor Hai

K Sharab Peena Sikha Diya

This mild intoxication

Is because of your eyes

That taught me drinking
