I was made aware
Of every single mistake of mine
I was punished for every single sin
Now what is left for you to judge?
Now what is left to be shown?
Just revoke the Day of Judgment
Give me back my throne
I am intoxicated
Completely stoned

You carve a stone, and make a flask
But I was hammered and scribbled
So dam hard
That I turned into a tavern
Instead of your wine glass
I wanna get rid of mortal addictions
Be addicted to you alone
I’m intoxicated
Completely stoned

It’s nothing but your wine
That keeps me alive
My veins are addicted to your drug
It’s your precious wine that springs out
Don’t get fooled by its color
It aint plain water it aint my blood
I am intoxicated
Completely stoned

Aziz and Gaffar were the one
Who first poured me your wine
Made me addicted to it
Made me ask for more
Made me spark and shine
I stored a little of theirs
Bought some new from you
And served a little more
With an added flavor of mine
I’m intoxicated
Completely stoned

If my life would have been sinless
Your attribute of being the most forgiving
Would have been useless
Hurt me once again,
Reward me once again
For don’t let the fire in me douse
Don’t let my goose bumps relax
Don’t make me leave your house
I will crossed the bridge of Pulsirat,
By your will Allahi, on this very earth
Coz I am intoxicated
Completely stoned

He is a fool,
Who?
Who claims that he aint a drunkard,
I ask the fool “if he aint a drunkard”
Then why is he not walking steady
On the straight path
Some drink the wine of ego and arrogance
Some drink the juice of lust and beauty
Some drink the liquor of fame and wealth
Some drink the sap of blood and usury
Some are showing off sipping a godly miniature
Some have just smelled it and act like a teacher
There are also some like me,
Who empty the whole tavern,
Yet spend a lot of time
Sitting quiet lonely

For I am one of those
Wandering all alone
I am intoxicated
Completely stoned

Moses would have had patience
On the madness of Khizr
If he would have noticed the truth
That Khizr holds no staff in his hand
But the glass of wine to be poured
I’m intoxicated
Completely stoned

Morning to work and Night to rest
But now I am in such a state
To drink whole night
And serve it whole day
I always hide a bottle up my sleeve
Incase if the Pope forgets the trinity
And taste a sip of monotheism
Once in his life time at least
In a canopy without a dome
I am intoxicated
Completely stoned

One fine day
I thought to repent
But then I ended up saying
Just like my master Aziz
“I repent not to repent again”
Don’t wanna slap myself
Don’t wanna cry
Don’t wanna moan
I am intoxicated
Completely stoned

I see you burning
The idol of Raavan each year
But what about his image in you
His flesh, his soul, his blood and bones
I am intoxicated
Completely stoned

I have accepted so many accusations in your love
It won’t be wrong, if I pass some of it on to you
For I never sinned the greatest sins being drunk
But have done them being sober intoned
I am intoxicated, completely stoned

The Lord was high
While creating the worlds
He was for sure drunk
While beautifying the Universe
He is himself drunkard by nature
And has made man in his image
If I drink he calls me his patent
If I refuse I’m called the son of Satan
I am so full, so intoxicated
Thoroughly stoned.

You reside in me
Make me brag about myself
Then I realize
You are bragging about yourself
I am so full, so intoxicated
Thoroughly stoned
I never became a polytheist
I never mixed the truth with lie
I did the allowed with the believers
And the prohibited with the disbelievers
Not a second will it take for me
To become one of those who go extreme
But I walk on the straight path
Not for the fear of hell
Or for the love of eternal bliss
For I want our friendship intact
That’s my only wish
There was just one eve
To feed Adam
The cursed fruit up in heaven
But down here,
I’m eating in countless dozens
I am such a shameful sinner
Adam just ate one from the tree
And his faith was shaken

But I’m eating it on my own
Sitting on the cursed tree
Laughing at eve and Satan
I am so full, so intoxicated
Thoroughly stoned

You gave me nothing
In fact everything
I took everything
In fact nothing
You gave me everything
In fact nothing
I took nothing
In fact everything
I received the grace of the Angels
Down on the basement
When I read the laws
Received the mercy of the Prophets
Up on the first floor
When I believed the laws

Received the friendship of the messengers
Up on the second floor
When I questioned the laws
Received the approval of God’s beloved
Up on the third floor
When I understood the laws
Stood and witnessed the light of God
Up on the terrace
When I followed the laws
I am so full, so intoxicated
Thoroughly stoned
