chori ho gayi raat nayan ki nindiya
ho ho chori ho gayi raat nayan ki nindiya
sapno me koi aaya, jaag uthi bindiya
chori ho gayi raat nayan ki nindiya
ho ho chori ho gayi raat nayan ki nindiya
chubh chubh gayi ankhiyo me rang bhari bindiya
chori ho gayi raat nayan ki nindiya

dil ne kisi ki jo aahat payi
reh gayi main leke ek angdayi
dil ne kisi ki jo aahat payi
reh gayi main leke ek angdayi
jiya jab dhadka to khul gayi ankhiyan
chori ho gayi raat nayan ki nindiya
ho ho chori ho gayi raat nayan ki nindiya

din bhi gayi leke, rain bhi leke
wo jo gayi mera chain bhi leke
din bhi gayi leke, rain bhi leke
wo jo gayi mera chain bhi leke
tum jaise naina the, tumhari suratiya
chori ho gayi raat nayan ki nindiya
oo ho chori ho gayi raat nayan ki nindiya

The night's slumber, a thief in the dark,
stole the sleep from my eyes' spark.
A phantom in dreams, a sudden appearing,
awakened the jewels my forehead was wearing.
The night's slumber, a thief in the dark.

Pricked in my eyes, colors now sting,
a jeweled adornment, the night's offering.
The night's slumber, a thief in the dark.

My heart, by a whisper, was stirred from its keep,
I sighed as I woke from my sleep.
My heart, by a whisper, was stirred from its keep,
I sighed as I woke from my sleep.
My heart then beat fast, and my eyelids did part,
The night's slumber, a thief in the dark.

The day vanished, the night took its flight,
she stole my peace, and extinguished the light.
The day vanished, the night took its flight,
she stole my peace, and extinguished the light.
Eyes like yours, a face that I knew,
The night's slumber, a thief, dark and true.
