2 / 8: saaqi
ik hosh ki saa'at kya kahiye
kuch yaad rahi kuch bhool gaye
when the wine-pourer handed me the cup
when the drinks were flowing freely
what to say of that moment of awareness
some things remembered, some forgotten

bas taraste hi chale afsos
paimaane ko hum
we came from afar, o cupbearer,
hearing of your tavern
and, regretfully, we kept
thirsting for a single cup

azal se zehn-e-insaan
basta-e-auhaam hai saaqi
religion but a fanciful belief
a string of delusions
forever the human mind has been
hostage to a bundle of superstitions

tu minnaton se jaam de
aur main kahuun ke ‘bas'
oh wine-pourer, the spring is gone
though longing still burns within
if you pour wine after many a plea
i will say 'that's enough'
