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

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'

us ne jo pher li nazar
main ne bhi jaam rakh diya
even in the intensity of thirst
my dignity of drinking remained
when she turned her face away
i too put down my cup

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

hum rahen yuun
tishna-lab paigaam ke
while others in the gathering
are kissing their cups of wine
i remain, lips parched,
for news of you

ye jaam-e-mai tha ya koyi
dariya-e-noor tha?
soon as he sipped the wine, o cup-bearer,
the preacher was awakened
was that a goblet of wine, or
radiant river of light?
