o ho sajana kidhar sari ratiya ganwai
sajana kidhar sari ratiya ganwai
soya jamana soya jamana hume nind na aayi
sajana kidhar sari ratiya ganwai
sajana kidhar sari ratiya ganwai

adaye husn pe marna tumhe na aata tha
adaye husn pe marna tumhe na aata tha
meri gali se gujarana tumhe na aata tha
huzur pyaar bhi karna tumhe na aata tha
aayi kaha se aayi kaha se tobba ye bewfai
sajana kidhar sari ratiya ganwai
sajana kidhar sari ratiya ganwai

hume to yaar diwana bana diya tumne
hume to yaar diwana bana diya tumne
jara si baat fasana bana diya tumne
ke roj dar ka bahana bana diya tumne
aayi qayamat aayi qayamat lekin kal nahi aaye
sajana kidhar sari ratiya ganwai
sajana kidhar sari ratiya ganwai

mere khuda padi mujhpe meharbani thi
mere khuda padi mujhpe meharbani thi
gujar rahi thi jaise ye jindagi thi
jo sajme gair me jakar shamma jalani thi
humare jiya me humare jiya me kahe aag lagai
sajana kidhar sari ratiya ganwai
sajana kidhar sari ratiya ganwai
ratiya ganwai ratiya ganwai
sajana kidhar sari ratiya ganwai
sajana kidhar sari ratiya ganwai

Where, O beloved, did you spend all the nights?
Where, O beloved, did you spend all the nights?
The world sleeps, the world sleeps, but sleep eludes me,
Where, O beloved, did you spend all the nights?
Where, O beloved, did you spend all the nights?

You knew not how to die for beauty's grace,
You knew not how to pass through my lane,
My love, you knew not how to love,
From where, from where, came this faithless trace?
Where, O beloved, did you spend all the nights?
Where, O beloved, did you spend all the nights?

You turned me, friend, into a mad one,
You turned a small word into a saga,
You made fear a daily excuse,
Judgment came, judgment came, but not on the morrow,
Where, O beloved, did you spend all the nights?
Where, O beloved, did you spend all the nights?

My God, mercy fell on me then,
My God, this is how life was passing,
When I was to light the flame in a stranger's temple,
Why did you ignite the fire in my heart?
Where, O beloved, did you spend all the nights?
Where, O beloved, did you spend all the nights?
Spent all the nights, spent all the nights,
Where, O beloved, did you spend all the nights?
Where, O beloved, did you spend all the nights?
