HATH DEY HATHAN MEIN AKHIYUN SEY NIHAAR

Hath Dey, Hathan Mein, Akhiyun Sey Nihaar
Bharey Pyaar Pyaalee, Aj Moon Peeaar
Ai Saaqee Soonh-a Vaaraa

Rakhee Atham Ta Toh Laaye Birah-a Jee, Hee-a Beenaa
Ach Aaj Toon Aa Vathaan, Rehem Reenaa
Ai Saaqee Soonh-a Vaaraa

Sajyo Deenh Toh Laaye, Thaayam, Hee-a Maalaa
Disarn Haarn Toh Laaye, Nern Thiyaa, Aahin Aalaa
Ai Saaqee Soonh-a Vaaraa

Vanye Deenh Pyo Guzree, Raat Thee Achey
Nern Nern Toh Laaye Tho, Neeh-a Mein Nachey
Ai Saaqee Soonh-a Vaaraa

Achey Nind-a Thee Keen-a Akhiyun Mein, Ujaago
Achee Raat Jo Kar, Hee Rooh-aro Sabhaago
Ai Saaqee Soonh-a Vaaraa

Achee Raat Aj Toon Charnan, Vihaar
Nuri Nihaarey Aa Rooh-aro, Ruaar
Ai Saaqee Soonh-a Vaaraa


O BEAUTEOUS CUP-BEARER!

Let Thine eyes look into mine,
And Thy hand, let me hold:
Fill for me the cup of love,
And of it let me drink
O Beauteous cup-bearer!

For Thee, have I kept,
This flute of unrequited love:
Come, O! come today,
And grant me a bit of Thy grace!
O Beauteous cup-bearer

The day through, have I threaded
This garland for Thee:
For a glimpse of Thee,
Now do my eyes weep!
O Beauteous cup-bearer!

The day journeys to its end,
And comes the night:
For Thee, my eyes steeped in love,
Dance with abandon:
O Beauteous cup-bearer!

I cannot sleep,
For my eyes keep a vigil for Thee:
O come tonight,
And my soul do bless:
O Beauteous cup-bearer!

Nuri doth anxiously look for Thee
Do come tonight,
And seat me at Thy feet,
And let my soul shed tears of joy:
O Beauteous cup-bearer!
