ab to utnī bhī mayassar nahīñ mai-ḳhāne meñ
jitnī ham chhoḌ diyā karte the paimāne meñ
the tavern does not even give that much wine to me
that I was wont to waste in the goblet casually
ab to utni bhi mayassar nahin mai-KHane mein
jitni hum chhoD diya karte the paimane mein
the tavern does not even give that much wine to me
that I was wont to waste in the goblet casually

piitā huuñ jitnī utnī hī baḌhtī hai tishnagī
saaqī ne jaise pyaas milā dī sharāb meñ
pita hun jitni utni hi baDhti hai tishnagi
saqi ne jaise pyas mila di sharab mein
tum us ke paas ho jis ko tumhārī chaah na thī
kahāñ pe pyaas thī dariyā kahāñ banāyā gayā
tum us ke pas ho jis ko tumhaari chah na thi
kahan pe pyas thi dariya kahan banaya gaya

sāqiyā tishnagī kī taab nahīñ
zahr de de agar sharāb nahīñ
saqiya tishnagi ki tab nahin
zahr de de agar sharab nahin
vo jo pyāsā lagtā thā sailāb-zada thā
paanī paanī kahte kahte Duub gayā hai
wo jo pyasa lagta tha sailab-zada tha
pani pani kahte kahte Dub gaya hai

ruuh kis mast kī pyāsī ga.ī mai-ḳhāne se
mai uḌī jaatī hai saaqī tire paimāne se
ruh kis mast ki pyasi gai mai-KHane se

wo samne hain magar tishnagi nahin jati
ye kya sitam hai ki dariya sarab jaisa hai
kamāl-e-tishnagī hī se bujhā lete haiñ pyaas apnī
isī tapte hue sahrā ko ham dariyā samajhte haiñ
kamal-e-tishnagi hi se bujha lete hain pyas apni
isi tapte hue sahra ko hum dariya samajhte hain
saaqī mire bhī dil kī taraf Tuk nigāh kar
lab-tishna terī bazm meñ ye jaam rah gayā
saqi mere bhi dil ki taraf Tuk nigah kar
lab-tishna teri bazm mein ye jam rah gaya
aaj pī kar bhī vahī tishna-labī hai saaqī
lutf meñ tere kahīñ koī kamī hai saaqī
aaj pi kar bhi wahi tishna-labi hai saqi
lutf mein tere kahin koi kami hai saqi
jise bhī pyaas bujhānī ho mere paas rahe
kabhī bhī apne laboñ se chhalakne lagtā huuñ
jise bhi pyas bujhani ho mere pas rahe
kabhi bhi apne labon se chhalakne lagta hun
saaqī mujhe ḳhumār satā.e hai lā sharāb
martā huuñ tishnagī se ai zālim pilā sharāb
saqi mujhe KHumar satae hai la sharab
marta hun tishnagi se ai zalim pila sharab
