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 aayeLet 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…
