aa gayi aa gayi re rat rang bhari aa gayi
aa gayi aa gayi re rat rang bhari aa gayi
bachpan ka hath chuta apno ka sath chuta
bachpan ka hath chuta apno ka sath chuta
lekin tum mil gaye
samjho ke mai sab pa gayi
aa gayi aa gayi re rat rang bhari aa gayi
aa gayi aa gayi re rat rang bhari aa gayi

sach batao kyu chale aaye the mujhko chhod kar
tumko aakhir kya mila ye shisha aye dil tod kar
ghir ke badal jo barse mere arman tarse
tum na aaye tumhare dar pe mai khud aa gayi
aa gayi aa gayi re rat rang bhari aa gayi
aa gayi aa gayi re rat rang bhari aa gayi

lakh shikwe par nahi hai ye shikayat ki ghadi
ye ghadi apne milan ki ye mohabbat ki ghadi
poonam ka chand chamka hat gaya saya wo gum ka
gulshan me chandani chupke se rang barsa gayi
aa gayi aa gayi re rat rang bhari aa gayi
aa gayi aa gayi re rat rang bhari aa gayi

The night arrives, a canvas splashed in hues, it does,
The night arrives, a canvas splashed in hues, it does.
Childhood's hand released, the kin dispersed,
Childhood's hand released, the kin dispersed,
But you, you came to me,
As if all I desired, I'd at last possessed.
The night arrives, a canvas splashed in hues, it does,
The night arrives, a canvas splashed in hues, it does.

Tell me truly, why did you depart, leaving me behind?
What solace did you find, shattering the mirror of my heart?
Clouds gathered, pouring tears, my longing yearned,
You did not come, but to your threshold, I, myself, did start.
The night arrives, a canvas splashed in hues, it does,
The night arrives, a canvas splashed in hues, it does.

Though countless grievances, this is not the hour to weep,
This hour belongs to union, to love's deep keep.
The full moon shone, the shadow of sorrow fled,
In the garden, moonlight quietly its colors did steep.
The night arrives, a canvas splashed in hues, it does,
The night arrives, a canvas splashed in hues, it does.
