jab raat ki tanhai dil ban ke dhadkati hai
yaado ke dariche mein chilman si sarakti hai

yu pyar nahi chhupta palko ke jhukane se
aankho ke lifafo mein tahrire chamakti hai

shohrat ki bulandi bhi pal bhar ka tamasha hai
jis daal pe baithe ho wo tut bhi sakti hai

lahu van me chingari koi rakh jaye
yu yaad teri shab bhar sine me sulagti hai

jab raat ki tanhai dil ban ke dhadkati hai
yaado ke dariche mein chilman si sarakti hai

wo kaise log the ya rab jinhone pa liya tujhko
hume to ho gaya dushwar ek insaan ka milna

jab raat ki tanhai dil ban ke dhadkati hai
yaado ke dariche mein chilman si sarakti hai

When night's solitude, a heart begins to beat,
Across memory's windows, a veil retreats.

Love's secret, not by lowered lashes kept,
On eyes' envelopes, inscriptions brightly sweep.

Fame's heights, a fleeting, transient show,
The branch you perch on, may surely break below.

As embers left within a forest's keep,
Your memory, through the night, within me sleeps.

When night's solitude, a heart begins to beat,
Across memory's windows, a veil retreats.

Oh, how did they, those souls, find you, my God?
For us, to find a man, becomes a heavy load.

When night's solitude, a heart begins to beat,
Across memory's windows, a veil retreats.
