Ye laal rang kab mujhe choṛegaa
Meraa gam kab talak, meraa dil toṛegaa
Kisee kaa bhee liyaa naam to
Aayee yaad too hee too
Ye to pyaalaa sharaab kaa
Ban gayaa ye lahoo
Peene kee kasam ḍaal dee
Pioongaa kis tarah
Ye to sochaa toone yaar mai
Jioongaa kis tarah
Chalaa jaaoo kahee chhoṛ ke
Mai teraa ye shahar
Na to yahaa amrit milaa
Peene ko na zahar
When will this blazing feeling leave me? Would sorrow break my heart?
Everyone’s name only reminds me of yours. Now, this cup of wine is like my blood.
I vowed to drink it away, but how can I? How can I live though? Think of that friend.
I will leave this place and go far far away from you where there is neither poison nor nectar to drink.
Kishore Kumar; Movie: Prem Nagar (1974)
