1/2: Ameer Minai

shab-e-furqat ka jaaga hoon

farishton, ab to sone do

kabhi fursat mein kar lena

hisaab…aahista aahista

i’ve been awake the night of separation

oh angels, let me get some sleep

when we get some free time

we’ll settle the accounts, slowly, slowly

2/2: Ameer Minai

masjid mein bulaate hain

hamein zaahid-e-na-fahm

hota kuch agar hosh to

maikhaane na jaate

the foolish preacher

invites me into the mosque

if i have any sense, won’t i

find my way to the taverns?
