او ساقی ساقی
o saaqii saaqii
Touch on each word to display its meaning
او ساقی ساقی
Oh cup-bearer!
مَیں تیری آنکھوں کا ساحِل
مَیں تیرے دِل کی ہی قابِل
تُو مُسافِر مَیں تیری منزل
عِشْق کا دریا ہے بہتا
ڈوب جا تجھ سے ہے کہتا
ہاں میری بانہوں مَیں آ کے مِل
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
وہ شرابی کْیا شرابی
دِل مَیں جِس کے غم نَہ ہو
لوٹ گیا سمجھو شرابی
پاس جِس کے ہَم نَہ ہوں
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
او ساقی ساقی رے ساقی ساقی
آ پاس آ رَہ نَہ جائے
کوئی خواہش باقی
[ all stanza x2 ]
Oh cup bearer! Cup bearer!
Come close, let no
desire be left (unfulfilled)
[all stanza x2]
تیرے جیسی مَعشُوقَہ مُجھے یار چاہِئے
نَہ پَیسا چاہِئے نَہ ہی قرار چاہِئے
I need a desirable woman like you, friend,
not money, not even peace of mind
یہ حُسن کا ہے خُمار میرا
تجھ پہ ہے چھایا جو
قربان ہوا جو مُجھ پہ
خُش نَصِیب بَڑا ہے وہ
This is my hangover/effect of beauty
that spreads over you
He who is sacrificed for me
is very fortunate
وہ شرابی کْیا شرابی
دِل مَیں جِس کے غم نَہ ہو
لوٹ گیا سمجھو شرابی
پاس جِس کے ہَم نَہ ہوں
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
او ساقی ساقی رے ساقی ساقی
آ پاس آ رَہ نَہ جائے
کوئی خواہش باقی
[ all stanza x 2 ]
Oh cup bearer! Cup bearer!
Come close, don't go!
Let no desire be left (unfulfilled)
[all stanza x 2]

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.
