zaahid naheen vaali naheen
kuchh paarisa naheen
why should i refuse
to drink wine, o preacher?
i am no ascetic, no saint,
not a man of purity

zaahid, tujhe kasam hai
jo tu ho to kya kare
in seclusion and
with wine and beloved with you
o holy man, tell me honestly
what would you do?

hum ik bazm mein thay
ye sab se judaa thay
not tied to the heretic,
not bound to the pious
present in the same gathering
but apart from them all
