Lyrics

Ji Chahe To Sheesha Ban Ja
Ji Chahe Paimaana Ban Ja
Sheesha Paimana Kya Banana
Mei Ban Ja, Maikhanaa Ban Ja!

Translation

If You Desire, Transform Into Glass, Or The Chalice.
But Why Becoming These
When You Can Become The Wine And The Tavern Itself [i.e. Why Become Container When You Can Be The Real]
