Mere pyaale me sharaab daal de phir dekh tamaasha

This song is a quintessential “villain’s den” party song that we tended to have in Bollywood movies of 1970s. In most of these songs, the hero and heroine would enter villain’s high security party as the lead singers/dancers yet the villains would remain in the dark till the song is over.
Here thankfully, that does not seem to be the case. And moreover, here it is the villain Premnath who sets the ball rolling by singing ( in Manna Dey’s voice), and he is then joined by our ageless hero, Dev saab, singing in Kishore Kumar’s voice. And if this is a villain’s den party song, then it is only natural that such a song should be accompanied by Helen’s cabaret dance too. and like a good Bollywood formula song, Helen is very much there, performing her usual cabaret dance.
Hema Malini, the heroine of this movie is also present in this song, though she does not do any dancing here.
The song is written by Anand Bakshi and its music is composed by Laxmikant Pyarelal. This movie was called “Amir Gharib” (1974).

Lyrics
Mere pyaale mein
tu mere pyaale mein sharaab daal de phir dekh tamaasha
Mere pyaale mein
tu mere pyaale mein sharaab daal de phir dekh tamaasha
mere pyaale mein sharaab daal de
sharaab daal pe
mere chehre pe
mere chehre pe naqaab daal de phir dekh tamaasha
tu mere chehre pe
tu mere chehre pe naqaab daal de phir dekh tamaasha
tu mere pyaale mein
oy hoy hoy hoy
oy hoy hoy
oy hoy hoy hoy
oy hoy hoy
kyaa jawaani hai
sirf paani hai
kyaa jawaani hai
sirf paani hai
aag paani lagaa nahin sakta
ho pyaas dil ki bujha nahin sakta
to kyaa jawaani hai
sirf paani hai
tu isme thodaa saa
tu isme thodaa saa shabaab daal de phir dekh tamaasha
tu mere chehre pe naqaab daal de phir dekh tamaasha
shola bhadkega dil dhadkegaa
shola bhadkegaa dil dhadkegaa
sard shola bhala kis kaam kaa
he dil na dhadke to dil hai bas naam kaa
ho shola bhadkega dil dhadkegaa
koyi aadat
koyi aadat kharaab daal de phir dekh tamaasha
tu mere pyaale me sharaab daal de phir dekh tamaashaa
Dono milne de rang khilne de
dono milne de rang khilne de
sirf botal se jaam nahin peenaa
o thodi aankhon se bhi ai haseenaa
to dono milne de rang khilne de
tu sharaab mein
tu sharaab mein sharaab daal de phir dekh tamaasha
tu mere pyaale me
tu mere chehre pe
tu mere pyaale me sharaab daal de
tu mere chehre pe naqaab daal de
phir dekh tamaasha
phir dekh tamaasha
phir dekh tamaasha
to phir
dekh tamaasha

Am hearing this song after at least 33 years. The last time I heard this must have been when the movie was released. Catchy tune and lyrics, quite a pleasant song. With good picturisation.
One small typo, Atul. The tags correctly say Kishore Kumar but just before the lyrics, you mention Rafi.
