sham hui aur deep jale
sham hui aur deep jale
aakash pe tare nachenge nachenge
fir man me udike ghir aai
ab more payal bajege bajege

sham hui andhiyare faile
sham hui andhiyare faile
gam ke badal chha gaye
bauchhar pad ke ghir ghir aa gaye
aansu tum de aayege
aansu tum de aayege
sham hui andhdiyare faile
man ke arman jag uthe hai
jiwan jyoti jagayenge
jiwan jyoti jagayege
dukh ki ghadiya bit gayi
aur sukh ke din ab aayenge aayenge

dukh ki ghadiya ro ro biti
sukh ke din kab aayenge
ghir gya mera pagal birah
naina nir bahayenge
naina nir bahayenge
chhav na hui andhiyare hai

The sun descends, the lamps ignite,
The sky ablaze with dancing light.
Then shadows gather in the heart,
My anklets sing, a brand new start.

As dusk arrives, the darkness spreads,
Grief's heavy clouds hang overhead.
The downpour comes, a whispered plea,
And tears will flow for you and me.
As dusk arrives, the shadows creep,
My soul's desires awaken deep.
We'll light the flame of life's bright core,
And banish sorrow evermore.
The days of pain have passed away,
And joy's sweet dawn will greet the day.

Through tears, the hours of sorrow flee,
When will the days of joy be free?
My restless longing takes its hold,
My weeping eyes, the story told.
No shade remains, only the night.
