jane kyun mujhe raton ko , need nhi aati hai
han dil ko mere teri yad ,bar bar sataati hai
jane kyun mujhe raton ko , need nhi aati hai
han dil ko mere teri yad ,bar bar sataati hai
jane kyun mujhe raton ko , need nhi aati hai

kaise kahun kaise karun dil ko bayan , tu mile to batayun
ye tan ki pawan ye man ki pawan han kaise tujhko dikhayun
han aaja sanam tujhe meri kasam ye dhadkan bulati hai
han jaane kyun mujhe raton ko , need nhi aati hai

pani mai ,pani mai rahkar bhi jaane kyun mai pyasi hu
tu bhi ise samjhega bat ye jra see ye thandi pawan
lahron ki chuwan mil jaye to baaki hai
jane kyun mujhe raton ko , need nhi aati hai
han dil ko mere teri yad ,bar bar sataati hai

Why, oh why, do nights bring no sleep?
My heart, it aches with memories, secrets to keep.
Why, oh why, do nights bring no sleep?
My days, too, are haunted, the remembrance deep.
Why, oh why, do nights bring no sleep?

How can I speak, how can I bare my soul?
If you were here, I'd make my spirit whole.
This breath of being, this wind in my mind,
How can I show you, for you I pine?
Come, my love, by my love's sacred oath,
My heart's own rhythm calls you forth.
Why, oh why, do nights bring no sleep?

In water, in water, yet thirst consumes me,
A longing untold, only you can see.
This gentle breeze, a whisper so slight,
The waves' sweet sting, if our souls unite.
Why, oh why, do nights bring no sleep?
My heart, it aches with memories, secrets to keep.
