kyun mast-e-sharaab-e-aish-o-tarab
takleef-e-tawajjoh farmaayen
aawaz-e-shikast-e-dil hi to hai
aawaz-e-shikast-e-jaam nahin
why draw needless attention to
the joy and elation inspired by wine
that sound is only of the heart breaking
not that of the (wine) goblet breaking

ghalib chhuTi sharaab
par ab bhi kabhi kabhi
peeta hoon
roz-e-abr-o-shab-e-mahtaab mein
ghalib has given up drinking
but, still, once in a while
i enjoy a drink
on cloudy days and moon-filled nights

zaahid, sharaab peene de
masjid mein baith kar
ya wo jagah bata de
jahaan par khuda na ho
oh priest, allow me to drink
sitting here in the mosque
or, show me a place
where there is no god

mere ashq bhi hain is mein
ye sharaab ubal na jaaye
mera jaam chuune waale
tera haath jal na jaaye

may my wine not boil over
those who touch my goblet
may your hand not burn
