jin raato me nind ud jaati hai
kya kahar ki raate hoti hai
darvaajo se takraa jaate hai
diwaaro se baate hoti hai
jin raato me nind ud jaati hai
kya kahar ki raate hoti hai
darvaajo se takraa jaate hai
diwaaro se, diwaaro se baate hoti hai
jin raato me nind

ghirghir ke jo badal aate hai
aur be barse khul jaate hai
aashaao ki, aashaao ki jhuthi duniya me
sukhi barsaate hoti hai
jin raato me nind

jab vo nahi hote pahlu me
aur lambi raate hoti hai
yaad aake, yaad aake sataati rahti hai
aur dil se, aur dil se baate hoti hai
jin raato me nind

hansne me jo aansu aate hai
do tasvire dikhlaate hai
har roj, har roj janaaje uthaate hai
har roj baraate hoti hai
jin raato me nind

himmat kiski hai jo puchh sake
ye aarju-e-saudaai se
kyun saahib, kyun saahib aakhir akele me
ye kisse, ye kisse baate hoti hai
jin raato me nind ud jaati hai
kya kahar ki raate hoti hai
darvaajo se takraa jaate hai
diwaaro se baate hoti hai
jin raato me nind

When sleep departs in the night,
What torments these hours ignite.
We collide with every door,
As whispers with walls explore.
When sleep departs in the night,
What torments these hours ignite.
We collide with every door,
With walls, with walls, converse and pour
When sleep...

Clouds that gather, then break apart,
Rainless, a desolate start.
In hopes, in hopes, a world untrue,
Dry showers of sorrow ensue.
When sleep...

When they're not there at my side,
Longer the nights now abide.
Memories surge, and haunt and sting,
And with the heart, conversations swing.
When sleep...

When laughter births tears we hide,
Two mirrored forms we confide.
Each day, each day, a funeral's toll,
Each day a wedding, takes its soul.
When sleep...

Who dares to ask, to understand,
This longing of a madman's hand?
Why, oh why, in solitude's keep,
With whom, with whom, does the soul weep?
When sleep departs in the night,
What torments these hours ignite.
We collide with every door,
As whispers with walls explore.
When sleep...
