mar gaya bichhua bichhua
bedard adhi rat ko meri chat pe chad gaya
chori se haye ungli me challa jad gaya
aye bedard adhi rat ko meri chat pe chad gaya

rat ki baho me soyi thi mai hoye hoye
anjane sapno me khoyi thi mai hoye hoye
wo dank mara machalne lagi
nindo me karvat badalne lagi
kam na hua haye dard aur badh gaya
haye bedard adhi rat ko meri chat pe chad gaya

maine ye socha hua jab savera hay hay
ha bichhua tha wo ke wo sajan tha mera hay hay
chup ke chupa ke kahan se wo aaya
ye raj maine to sabse chupaya
jo bhi hua haye chain mujhko pad gaya
bedard adhi rat ko meri chat pe chad gaya

A scorpion, a scorpion, it struck,
A callous thief, upon my roof it walked,
And stole my finger's jewel, a venomous shock.
Oh, heartless one, upon my roof it stalked.

Within the night's embrace, I slumbered deep,
Lost in unknown dreams, where secrets sleep,
It stung, and tremors through my body flew,
My sleep was restless, turning anew,
The pain did rise, no solace I could find.
Oh, heartless one, upon my roof it climbed.

I pondered this, when morning's light did break,
Was it a scorpion, or for love's sweet sake?
From where he came, a hidden mystery,
A secret I kept, for all to see,
Though what occurred, my peace was now defined.
Oh, heartless one, upon my roof inclined.
