jiski khatir nain diwane
kitni raat na soye
meri tarah anmol raat vo
aakar koi na khoye

jiya se na nikli kasak jiya ki
jiya se na nikli kasak jiya ki
aisi ghabraai main to chhod aai sej piya ki
aisi ghabraai main to chhod aai sej piya ki
jiya se na nikli kasak jiya ki
aisi ghabraai main to chhod aai sej piya ki

wo raat jiska raha intjaar dono ko
ke dono karte hai ji jaa se pyaar dono ko
wo raat aai to kyo mil ke na hum mil paaye
ye baat puchhe hai dil baar baar dono ko

kya sochenge mere sajna mere is bartaav pe
marham rakhna to dur ve namak chhidak aayi ghaav pe
naino me hai jis raat ke sapne
aaj nahi vo bhag me apne
jiya se na nikli kasak jiya ki
jiya se na nikli kasak jiya ki
aisi ghabraai main to chhod aai sej piya ki
ho aisi ghabraai main to chhod aai sej piya ki

ye sej tere liye hai tu hi sajayegi
rahegi suni ke tu jab talak na aayegi
main maan lungi ke vo raat abhi nahi aai
vo raat aayegi jab tu mana ke laaun

kasam tumhe mere pyar ki
dosh na dena mere pyar ko
yunhi nahi koi todta apne kiye ikraar ko
kahne ko nahi ye majburi
sahni padegi aaj ye duri
jiya se na nikli kasak jiya ki
jiya se na nikli kasak jiya ki
aisi ghabraai main to chhod aai sej piya ki

For whom these eyes, in madness, kept vigil,
Through countless nights, sleep denied.
That night, precious as my soul,
Let no one come, and let it glide.

From my heart, no longing escaped,
From my heart, no longing released.
So frightened, I fled, abandoning
My beloved's bed, my peace.
So frightened, I fled, abandoning
My beloved's bed, my peace.
From my heart, no longing escaped,
So frightened, I fled, abandoning
My beloved's bed, my peace.

That night, for which we both yearned,
Loving each other with hearts so deep,
That night arrived, yet why together
Could we not meet, our promises to keep?
This question, our hearts now repeat.

What will my beloved think of my ways?
Healing was far, salt on wounds I placed.
In these eyes, dreams of that night reside,
Yet in my fate, it is not embraced.
From my heart, no longing escaped,
From my heart, no longing released.
So frightened, I fled, abandoning
My beloved's bed, my peace.
Oh, so frightened, I fled, abandoning
My beloved's bed, my peace.

This bed awaits you, you must adorn it,
It will remain empty, till your return.
I shall believe that night has not yet come,
That night will arrive when you learn.

I swear, by our love, I implore,
Do not blame my beloved, so true.
No one breaks their vows,
Without reason, a promise askew.
I cannot explain, this is my plight,
This separation, I must endure.
From my heart, no longing escaped,
From my heart, no longing released.
So frightened, I fled, abandoning
My beloved's bed, my peace.
