raat arma ki saji hai chadari ka sath hai
ye mohabbat ka najara jindagi naraj hai
jaage hai hum to raat raat raat bhar
taro se punchho tum taro se punchho tum

aisi aisi hun shma jo
raat din jalti rahi
vo kali hun khil na pai
vo kali hun khil na pai
khak mein milti rahi
rote hai dil ki baat par
baar baar baar hum
aakhon se punchho tum
aakhon se punchho tum
jaage hai hum to raat raat raat bhar
taro se punchho tum taro se punchho tum

dil ne tujhko di duaaye
khush rahe aabad tu
mera kya hai rah gai hai
mera kya hai rah gai hai
dil mein pyasi aarju
jalte hai gam ki aag mein
aaj aaj aaj hum
aahon se punchho tum
aahon se punchho tum
jaage hai hum to raat raat raat bhar
taro se punchho tum taro se punchho tum

Night adorns with longing's silken shroud,
Love's tableau unfolds, life disavowed.
Awake we are, through nights unending,
Ask the stars, their silent lending.

I am a candle, consumed by flame,
Burning day and night, the same.
A bud I am, that could not bloom,
A bud I am, lost in the tomb.
We weep for the heart's plight and pain,
Time and again, again, again.
Ask the eyes, the tears that stream,
Ask the eyes, the waking dream.
Awake we are, through nights unending,
Ask the stars, their silent lending.

The heart bestowed prayers on your name,
May you flourish, free from blame.
As for me, what remains untold,
As for me, a thirst the heart holds.
In sorrow's fire, we now reside,
Today, today, forever tied.
Ask the sighs, the breath we draw,
Ask the sighs, the breaking law.
Awake we are, through nights unending,
Ask the stars, their silent lending.
