o saaqii saaqii
Oh cup-bearer!
maiN terii aaNkhoN kaa saaHil
maiN tere dil kii hii qaabil
tuu musaafir maiN terii manzil
ishq kaa dariyaa hai bɛhtaa
Duub jaa tujh se hai kɛhtaa
haaN merii baaNhoN maiN aa ke mil
I am the shore for your eyes
I am the only worthy of your heart
You are a traveller and I am your destination
The river of love is flowing
It is telling you to be drowned in it
Yes, come and meet my arms
vo sharaabii kyaa sharaabii
dil maiN jis ke Gam na ho
luuT gayaa samjho sharaabii
paas jis ke ham na hoN
What (kind of) drunkard is the one
in whose heart there isn't sorrow?
Consider despoiled the drunkard
who doesn’t have me by his side
o saaqii saaqii re saaqii saaqii
aa paas aa rɛh na jaae
koii xvaahish baaqii
[ all stanza x2 ]
Oh cup bearer! Cup bearer!
Come close, let no
desire be left (unfulfilled)
[all stanza x2]
tere jaisii maashuuqaa mujhe yaar chaahie
na paisaa chaahie na hii qaraar chaahie
I need a desirable woman like you, friend,
not money, not even peace of mind
ye Husn kaa hai xumaar meraa
tujh pe hai chhaayaa jo
qurbaan huaa jo mujh pe
xushansiib baRaa hai vo
This is my hangover/effect of beauty
that spreads over you
He who is sacrificed for me
is very fortunate
vo sharaabii kyaa sharaabii
dil maiN jis ke Gam na ho
luuT gayaa samjho sharaabii
paas jis ke ham na hoN
What (kind of) drunkard is the one
in whose heart there isn't sorrow?
Consider despoiled the drunkard
who doesn’t have me by his side
o saaqii saaqii re saaqii saaqii
aa paas aa rɛh na jaae
koii xvaahish baaqii
[ all stanza x 2 ]
Oh cup bearer! Cup bearer!
Come close, don't go!
Let no desire be left (unfulfilled)
[all stanza x 2]

o saaqii saaqii (Hindi: ओ साक़ी साक़ी, Urdu: او ساقی ساقی) "Oh, Cub-bearer!" is a song played at the 2019 Bollywood action thriller "Batla House".
The video clip shows a dancer, Huma (Nora Fatehi doing an "item number") performing on a stage before a drinking all-masculine audience, while the movie protagonist, Sanjay Kumar (the actor John Abraham) is shown in somewhat unrelated fighting scenes.
This song was originally written by Dev Kohli, and composed by the duo Vishal-Shekhar for the 2004 Indian film "Musafir".
For "Batla House", both the lyrics and the music were re-worked by Tanishk Bagchi.
The playback singers are Neha Kakkar and Tulsi Kumar for the female parts, and B Praak for the male parts.
