Until
This era is, O’ let it be
Enraptured with pleasing joy
Make me

Unto
You O’ Cup bearer
The whole world sacrificed be
Ultimate wine of love this is
O’ serve me

Twofolds
Pour O’ Cup bearer
One for the sake of you, O' rose faced
And the other in the name of Lord the
Great be

Unconditionally fulfilled
May the aching desires of this futile
Heart be.

― Jamil Hussain

O' Cup bearer
From within my sorrows
An image of bursting joy offer me

A single sip of your aching bliss be
Pour a droplet, embraced within it an ocean be

O’ Cup bearer , unto you blessings be
And unto your tavern favours be
Elating holy wine offer me

Senseless for a lifetime
I   d e s i r e   to
B  e

O' Lord
Flourish her
With all the success
She is magnificent I
Must confess
◈
Give
Her long
And healthy life
Take my remaining years
And let forever her
Thrive
◈
O' Lord
Bless her with
More charms and beauty
Forgive her actions and
Grant her a
Bounty

Let
Her accomplish
All her wishes and dreams
Give her all the strength and
Knowledge so that
She gleams

O' Lord
Gift her with all the
Wealth and what she desires
So she may appreciate your
Kindness and return her

Please accept
My sincere and

The beloved will become the
Only sunrise and sunset

Everywhere I observed
And place of ‘’ℋℯ’’ is what I saw

None-else came before my sight
When ‘’ℋis’’ manifestation I saw

Jalwa-e-Mahtab Se Pahle
Rang Mehke Ghulaab Se Pahle
Apna Kaif-o-Suruur Dikhla Kar
Hosh Lootain Sharaab Se Pahle*

Before the splendour of moon
Before the flourishing colour of a rose
O' intoxicating pleasure you exposed
Plundering my senses, before the wine was even poured

— Translated by Jamil Hussain, Sung by Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan

Sara Jahan Mast
Jahan Ka Nizam Mast
Din Mast, Raat Mast, Sahar Mast, Shaam Mast
Mast Sheesha, Mast Suboo, Mast Jaam Mast
Hai Teri Chashm-e-Mast Se Har Khaas-o-Aam Mast*

The world is intoxicated
The order of universe is intoxicated
The day is intoxicated; the night, the dawn and the evening are intoxicated
The glass is intoxicated, the goblet and the wine itself is intoxicated
Your enchanting eyes have made everything so intoxicated.

— Translated by Jamil Hussain, Sung by Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan

Unke Dar Pe Pahunchne To Paayein
Yeh Na Poocho Ke Hum Kya Kareinge
Sar Jhukana Agar Jurm Hoga
Ham Nigahon Se Sajda Kareinge

Once I reach the door
Spare me from asking what I will do
If blasphemous it is to prostrate my body
My gaze shall bow at the door

Baat Bhi Teri Rakhni Hai Saqi
Zarf Ko Bhi Na Ruswa Kareinge
Jaam De Ya Na De Aaj Hum Toh
Maikade Mein Sawera Kareinge

I am to keep your words too, O' Cup Bearer
And I cannot offend the cup
Whether or not you serve me tonight
I will meet my dawn at your door

Iss Taraf Apna Daman Jalega
Uss Taraf Unki Mehfil Chalegi
Hum Andhere Ko Ghar Mein Bulaakar
Unke Ghar Mein Ujaala Kareinge

Here, my life will be on fire
And there celebrations will begin at yours
I willingly invite the darkness to my abode
So that brightness may exist at yours

Baat Tarq-e talluq Bhi 'Anwar'
Itna Ehsaa- e-Rasm-e-Wafa Hai
Aakhiri Saans Tak Bhi Hum Unse
Berukhi Ka Na Shikwa Kareinge*

Even after renouncing our relationship O’ Anwar
I am to maintain the ritual of faithfulness
Even unto the last breath
Never will I complain of aloofness

— Translated by Jamil Hussain, Sung by Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan
