kah rhi hain raat andheri
ye jaha kuchh bhi nahi
chand suraj aur jamino
aasma kuchh bhi nahi
kah rhai hain raat andheri

jinke mahlo me sada
bajti rahi shahnaiyan
jinke mahlo me sada
bajti rahi shahnaiyan
aag ke kuchh dher hain
baaki nisha kuchh bhi nahi
kah rhai hain raat andheri

din ke gusse ki sada se
kanpne lagte the dil
aaj hain khamosh aise
aaj hain khamosh aise
kyu raha kuchh bhi nahi
kah rhai hain raat andheri

kuchh yaha ke vaste kar
kuchh waha ke vaste
intaha bhi intaha hain
aur yaha kuchh bhi nahi
kah rhi hain raat andheri
ye jaha kuchh bhi nahi

Dark night whispers low,
This world, a breath unseen.
Moon, sun, and lands below,
Heavens, a vanished sheen.
Dark night whispers low.

In halls where joy did bloom,
Where music used to play,
In halls where joy did bloom,
Now embers hold the gloom,
And remnants fade away.
Dark night whispers low.

Those hearts that used to fear
The day's relentless ire,
Now silent, year by year,
Now silent, void of cheer,
Why nothing now remains?
Dark night whispers low.

Do for this fleeting space,
For that beyond the veil.
The limit, a swift chase,
Yet here, no lasting trace,
And here, no gain prevails.
Dark night whispers low,
This world, a breath unseen.
