Nazar
nazar say mila kar sharaab peetay hain,
Hum unko paas bitha kar sharaab
peetay hain !
[We drink by making proper eye-contact,
We drink while making
her sit next to us !]
Isee liyey to andhera hai maikaday mein bahut,
Yahan garon
ko jala kar sharaab peetay hain !
[That is why there is lot of darkness in the pub,
Out here,
we drink after burning down our houses !]
Hamey tumharay siva kuch nazar nahin aaata,
Tumhay nazar
mein saja kar sharaab peetay hain !
[We can't see anything else other than you,
We drink while
keeping you in our eyes/mind !]
Un kay hisay mein aati hai pyaas hi aksar,
Jo doosron ko
pila kar sharaab peetay hain !
[Those people often remain thirsty,
Who drink after making
sure that everybody else has drunk !]
Nazar nazar say mila kar sharaab peetay hain,
Hum unko
paas bitha kar sharaab peetay hain !
