Muddat Huee Hai Yaar Ko Mehmaan Kiay Huey,

Josh-e-Kadah se bazm chiraaghan Kiay Huey,

IT'S BEEN A LONG TIME SINCE I HAVE SEEN MY SWEETHEART.
SINCE I HAVE DRUNK ENOUGH TO ENJOY MY PARTY.



Muddat Huee Hai Yaar Ko...

Maange hai phir kisi ko lab-e- baam par hawas 2 
Zulf-e-siyaah rukh pe pareshaan kiayehuey 2

MY LUST WANTS TO HAVE SOMEONE AGAIN AT THE CORNER OF MY TERRACE
SINCE I HAVE PLAYED WITH HER JET BLACK HAIR AND SPREAD ON HER PRETTY FACE

Ek nau bahaar -e- naaz ko taake hai phir nigah
Chehra farogh-e-mai se gulistaan kiay huey 2

I AM TAKING A GOOD LOOK AT MY BELOVED ONE
(WHILE) HER FACE IS SPARKLING BY THE INFLUENCE OF DRINKING.

Jee dhoondta hai phir vohee fursat ke raat din
Baithey rahe tasasur-e- jaanan kiayehuey 2 

I LONG AGAIN FOR FREE TIME DURING THE DAYS AND NIGHTS
WHEN ALL I USED TO DO WAS THINKING ABOUT MY LOVER.


"Ghalib" hamein na chher keh phir josh-e- ashk se
Baithe hain ham tahayya - e- toofan kiay huey

"GHALIB" DON'T TEASE ME BECAUSE MY EYES ARE WET WITH TEARS OF EMOTIONS
I HAVE MADE SOME UNUSUAL PLANS.

  1. I think "lab-e-bam" doesn't mean the literal "corner of my terrace" here. I think it means I covet someone on the top or tip of my hawas/lust"...

    A scene comes to mind... that my head is on the lap of my beloved and she is on the tip of my lust... looking down on me... while the wind is sweeping streaks of hair on her face, slightly irritating her, making her more sweet and tempting...
