ये जो हल्का हल्का सुरूर है

Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan

Dancing to every look of the wine-giver, I drank
Playing with the waves, I drank
O Lord, forgive my sins
That I was afraid, but still with great pleasure, I drank
That I would drink without prerogative, when did I have such courage?
With the acquiescence of my lover’s veiled eyes, I drank
Close to me, far from me
Someone surely lives in my heart
Since I have seen her eyes
This mild inebriation remains with me
