نہ نیوشاک نہ حسابدان ہتیرا پیکو کیا مزہ
ہردیا غم غییچ اشرومان ہتیرا پیکو کیا مزہ

No one will keep a track, what is the fun then of getting drunk there
No sorrows in heart or tears in eyes, what is the fun then of getting drunk there

ہتے نور غیچی مہ دیاک روئی لاڑینی  ویشکی کورا مہ
پوشی پیسونی مہ راہان ہتیرا پیکو کیا مزہ
ہردیا غم غییچ اشرومان ہتیرا پیکو کیا مزہ

There wouldn’t be ignorant dis-liker hence;
No one will try to stay away, what is the fun then of getting drunk there


بے حساب تیرا ملاو بوئی بے حسابو کیا مزہ کوئی
نہ کا تھروشنی بوئی نہ  پیشمان ہتیرا پیکو کیا مزہ
ہردیا غم غییچ اشرومان ہتیرا پیکو کیا مزہ

The wine you get there is limitless, and there is no taste of no limits
You wouldn’t be thirsty due to scarcity nor will you be regretful, what is the fun then of getting drunk there


کھیو شون دیتی کی پسان ہتوتے اوغ ریکو کیان بوئی
پوشن کی نو  ہوئی کوس غیچھان ہتیرا پیکو کیا مزہ

If you can touch your lips to the stream and drink it, better call it water;
If you cannot see red-eyes of someone, what is the fun then of getting drunk there

جنت کھیوتین کی رینییان بونی ہتیرا  شرابو ژوئی
غم جانان نہ کیا دوران ہتیرا پیکو کیا مزہ

There must be streams of wine the heaven, but;
When there is no grief (of the world and of beloved), what is the fun then of getting drunk there

خوروشی ادا مہ خوشرو ئو مہ مست کوری پیسونیان
نہ بوئی نخرا حسین ہوران ہتیرا پیکو کیا مزہ

It is the upset behaviors of my beloved that get me jovial and drunk
The beautiful Hurs of heaven will not have this attitude, what is the fun then of getting drunk there

پیمانان اسناو متین ہمت داد دتی بیہچونیان
نہ موش محفل نہ می یاران ہتیرا پیکو کیا مزہ

They raise their wine cups and keep appreciating my poetry;
There would not be such gatherings nor such friends; what is the fun then of getting drunk there

نہ کیا سرورا ادب بوئی نہ ادب و کا مشکاک بوئی
نہ زیرکو قلم رقصان ہتیرا پیکو کیا مزہ

Neither will I get to write poems in suroor and no one will demand poetry there;
The pen of Zeerak would no more dance; what is the fun then of getting drunk there.
