Lyrics and translation Jagjit Singh - Shayad Aa Jayega Saqi Ko

Shayad Aa Jayega Saqi Ko

Shaayad Aa Jaayega Saaqi Ko Taras Ab Ke Baras,
Mil Na Paya Hai Un Aankhon Ka Bhi Ras Ab Ke Baras
Aisi Chaayi Thi Kahan Gham Ki Ghatayen Pehle,
Haan Mere Deedar Tar Khoob Baras Ab Ke Baras
Oof Wo Un Mad Bhari Aankhon Ke Chlakthe Huye Jaam,
Badh Gayi Aur Bhi Peene Ki Hawas Ab Ke Baras
Pehle Ye Kab Tha Ki Wo Mere Hain Main Unka Hoon,
Unki Yaadon Ne Sataya Hai To Bas Ab Ke Baras

Shayad Aa Jayega Saqi Ko

Perhaps this year the cupbearer will come to me, thirsty,
For I have not tasted the elixir of those eyes this year
Were there ever clouds of sorrow like these before?
Yes, my beloved, rain plentifully upon me this year
Oh, those intoxicating eyes, like brimming cups,
Have increased my thirst for more this year
When was it before that she was mine and I hers?
Her memories have tormented me, especially this year
