I am ready te I am sure oye

"Pyala rakh de ek paasey
Aj nazran naal pila saaqi"
Put the cup to the side
O cup-bearer, let me drink from your eyes

Best part starts from 10:48
"Mai te peeni aye, peeny aye, mai te peeni aye"
I have to drink, i have to drink at all costs
(refrain, repeated many times, with poetry lines in between)
13:42
"Tu nahi wela, mennu de de maikhane di chabi
Ae gal meri sun le saaqi, ae gal meri sun le saaqi
Mai ta nahi Wahhabi, mai te peeni aye, mai te peeni aye, peeni aye, mai te peeny aye"
If you’re too busy, give me the keys to the tavern
Listen to my words, o cup-bearer
I'm not Wahhabi, i have to drink, i have to drink at all costs
"Wahhabis" are an extreme sect of Islam, prevalent in Saudi Arabia, who would disapprove of this type of indirectly devotional singing (explained below)

The lyrics have to interpreted through the meaning of the ghazal (love song), performed as part of a qawwali (devotional singing session)

Great explanation!

Although there are plethoras of kalaams like this, my personal favorite one is Maikada by Muhammad Samie (link below). I assume you'll like it too.

@AsadRM @Na Maloom Afraad Hum Aaye would’ve been a perfect PSL anthem. Instead we got Tayyar Ho and Groove Mera

Strooonggg disagree mate.

You don't like Hum Aaye? I'm going to disown you.

At least you agree that Strings would've made a better song than the last two?

"Maguva Maguva"- from the movie "Vakeel Saabh" (Telugu remake of the Bollywood Movie Pink). This is one song which portrays the life of an average Indian woman, her struggles and the way she conquers the world.
