ek baras me ek baar hi
aati hai ye raat yaro
dil me base jo
baho me uski ye raat sari gujaro
ek baras me ek baar hi
aati hai ye raat yaro
dil me base jo
baho me uski ye raat sari gujaro
milna hai to aise milo
milke na ho phir juda
milna hai to aise milo
milke na ho phir juda

ye umar aur ye jawani
ye raat hai pyar ki
har dil me machle tamnna
dil chahe dildar ki
taqdir se dil ko mile
koi hasin dilruba
ek baras me ek baar hi
aati hai ye raat yaro
dil me base jo
baho me uski ye raat sari gujaro
milna hai to aise milo
milke na ho phir juda
milna hai to aise milo
milke na ho phir juda

ye naram baho ke ghere
sanso ki ye garmiya
mehke badan ki ye khusbu
aankho ki ye mastiya
aankho se jo pi le kabhi
tute kabhi na nasha
ek baras me ek baar hi
aati hai ye raat yaro
dil me base jo
baho me uski ye raat sari gujaro
milna hai to aise milo
milke na ho phir juda
milna hai to aise milo
milke na ho phir juda

kya pyas jagi hai dil me
tujhko nahi ye pata
ye duriya ab mita de
aa aur bhi pass aa
aa aur bhi pass aa
aa aur bhi pass aa
kya hai bhala kya hai bura
ye aaj tu bhul ja
ek baras me ek baar hi
aati hai ye raat yaro
dil me base jo
baho me uski ye raat sari gujaro
milna hai to aise milo
milke na ho phir juda
milna hai to aise milo
milke na ho phir juda

Once a year, this night descends, O friends,
This night of nights, a fleeting gift it lends.
Within the arms of love, let solace bloom,
Embrace the soul that fills your heart's own room.
Once a year, this night begins to gleam,
A whispered promise in a waking dream.
Within the arms of love, let passions play,
And spend this night in blissful disarray.
If you would meet, then meet in such a way,
That parting's shadow flees the break of day.
If you would meet, then meet with hearts entwined,
No separation ever left behind.

This age, this youth, this night of ardent fire,
The night of love, fulfilling every desire.
Within each heart, a fervent wish takes flight,
For a beloved, bathed in beauty's light.
When fate entwines two souls in tender grace,
A lover's smile upon a cherished face.
Once a year, this night will find its way,
This fleeting gift, that brightens every day.
Within the arms of love, let passion soar,
And spend this night, and ask for nothing more.
If you would meet, then meet in such a way,
That parting's shadow flees the break of day.
If you would meet, then meet with hearts entwined,
No separation ever left behind.

These soft embraces, gently holding near,
The warmth of breaths, dispelling every fear.
The fragrant essence of a body's guise,
The revelry that dances in the eyes.
If from those eyes, a nectar you partake,
Then never let that holy rapture break.
Once a year, this night its magic weaves,
The night of love, where every heart believes.
Within the arms of love, where dreams reside,
And spend this night, with nothing left to hide.
If you would meet, then meet in such a way,
That parting's shadow flees the break of day.
If you would meet, then meet with hearts entwined,
No separation ever left behind.

What thirst awakens in the heart's deep core?
You do not know, and yet, desire is more.
Erase the distance, banish all the pain,
Come closer now, and let love gently reign.
Come closer now, and let the moment bloom,
Come closer now, and banish every gloom.
What is good and what is wrong? Forget it now,
And let your passion make its solemn vow.
Once a year, this night descends, so true,
This night of nights, for me and also you.
Within the arms of love, the moments stay,
And spend this night, and cast all cares away.
If you would meet, then meet in such a way,
That parting's shadow flees the break of day.
If you would meet, then meet with hearts entwined,
No separation ever left behind.
