angdai par angdai, leti hai raat judai ki
angdai par angdai, leti hai raat judai ki
tum kya samjho, tum kya jano
baat meri tanhayi ki

kaun siyahi ghol raha tha
waqt ke behte dariya me
waqt ke behte dariya me
maine aankh jhuki dekhi hai
aaj kisi harjai ki
tum kya samjho, tum kya jano
baat meri tanhayi ki

wasl ki raat na jane kyu
israar tha unko jane par
israar tha unko jane par
waqt se pehle dub gaye
taaro ne badi danai ki
tum kya samjho, tum kya jano
baat meri tanhayi ki

udte udte aas ka panchi
door ufaq me doob gaya
door ufaq me doob gaya
rote rote baith gayi aawaz kisi saudai ki
angdai par angdai, leti hai raat judai ki
tum kya samjho, tum kya jano
baat meri tanhayi ki

Each moment stretches, a lover's sigh,
This night of separation, it will not die.
You cannot fathom, you cannot know,
The words my solitude must bestow.

Who stirred the ink, a shadowed hand,
Within the river of time's command?
Within the river, ever flowing,
I saw a fickle gaze, bestowing...
A glance from one, with love untrue.
You cannot fathom, nor can you.
The words my solitude must imbue.

The night of union, a mystery untold,
Why did they yearn to depart, so bold?
They yearned to leave, to fade away,
Before their time, at close of day.
The stars observed, with knowing grace,
You cannot fathom, this empty space.
The words my solitude must embrace.

The bird of hope, in flight so grand,
Sank in the distance, to the land,
Sank in the distance, far and deep.
A madman's voice began to weep.
Each moment stretches, a lover's sigh,
This night of separation, it will not die.
You cannot fathom, you cannot know,
The words my solitude must bestow.
