Roman script

Aaye kuch abr kuchh sharaab aaye

Aaye kuch abr kuchh sharaab aaye

Is ke ba‘d aaye jo ‘azaab aaye

Aaye kuch abr kuchh sharaab aaye

Is ke ba‘d aaye jo ‘azaab aaye

Aaye kuch abr kuchh sharaab aaye

Let some cloudy weather come

And some wine to relish in this weather

After this, let come whatever punishment may come

Kar raha tha gham-e jahaan ka hisaab

Kar raha tha gham-e jahaan ka hisaab

Aaj tum yaad be-hisaab aaye

I was taking stock of all that has given me pain in this world

Today, I missed you immeasurably

Aaye kuch abr kuchh sharaab aaye

Is ke ba‘d aaye jo ‘azaab aaye

Aaye kuch abr kuchh sharaab aaye

Is ke ba‘d aaye jo ‘azaab aaye

Let some cloudy weather come

And some wine to relish in this weather

After this, let come whatever punishment may come

Is tarah apni khaamoshi goonji

Is tarh apni khaamushi goonji

Goya har samt se jawaab aaye

Goya har samt se jawaab aaye

In such a way did my own silence echo

As if a reply was arriving from each and every direction

Aaye kuch abr kuchh sharaab aaye

Is ke ba‘d aaye jo ‘azaab aaye

Aaye kuch abr

Let some cloudy weather come

And some wine to relish in this weather

After this, let come whatever punishment may come

Let some cloudy weather come

Baam-e meena se maahataab utre

Meena...

Baam-e meena se maahataab utre

Dast-e saaqi men aafataab aaye

From the roof-like edge of the wineglass, The moon should descend

Wineglass...

Held in the hand of the cupbearer, the sun should arrive

Aaye kuch abr kuchh sharaab aaye

Aaye kuch abr kuchh sharaab aaye

Is ke ba‘d aaye jo ‘azaab aaye

Aaye kuch abr

Let some cloudy weather come, and some wine to relish in this weather

After this, let come whatever punishment may come

Let some cloudy weather come...
