Ah, ah, ah
Drink from the glass, or drink from the peg,
or drink from the tavern of my eyes.
But drink, oh mad one, live joyfully, oh mad one. [x2]

Drink from the glass, or drink the peg.

Beauty is standing in your path,
let your arms encircle mine.

The night is lovely, youth is reckless,
drink in the gazes themselves!

Understand the signals of my eyes,
steal the pleasures of the world.

I am yours, my love,
it's my oath to you.
Let your fingers too pluck the strings of the heart.

baat samajh merii
kal ye umar terii
mausam kii taraH biit jaaegii
Look, this moment will not return,
the clouds of my hair won’t gather again.
[both lines x2]
Listen to what I say:
tomorrow, this youth of yours
will pass like a season.

shiishe se pii (Hindi: शीशे से पी, Urdu: شِیشَے سے پی) is a song released in 1966 for the Bollywood film Phool Aur Patthar, performed by Asha Bhosle in playback for the actress Shashikala.
In the movie scene built around the song, Shashikala — playing the intriguing vamp Rita — dances around and seduces the male protagonist, Shakti (played by the then "He-Man" of the silver screen, Dharmendra), enticing both of them to drink.
The music was composed by the duo Kalyanji–Anandji, with lyrics by Anand Bakshi.
The song employs traditional Indo-Persian poetic imagery such as the shiishaa (glass), paimaanaa (goblet, peg), and maixaanaa (tavern), to express intoxication and longing through glances.
