yaad mujhko kaun aaya raat bhar
yaad mujhko kaun aaya raat bhar
o yaad mujhko kaun aaya raat bhar
dil jala to, bujh na paaya raat bhar
ek jara si muskurahat ka asar
ek jara si muskurahat ka asar
chain khoya, dil gawaya raat bhar
yaad mujhko kaun aaya raat bhar

ye hawa chupke se aakar keh gayi
chandni chhat par akeli reh gayi
ye hawa chupke se aakar keh gayi
chandni chhat par akeli reh gayi
tumne kyu ye dil jalaya raat bhar
tumne kyu ye dil jalaya raat bhar
dil jala to, bujh na paaya raat bhar
yaad mujhko kaun aaya raat bhar

karwate, bechainiya leti rahi
naram palkein, nam meri hoti rahi
karwate, bechainiya leti rahi
naram palkein, nam meri hoti rahi
sona chaha, so na paaya raat bhar
sona chaha, so na paaya raat bhar
dil jala to, bujh na paaya raat bhar
yaad mujhko kaun aaya raat bhar

Who came to mind, the whole long night?
Who came to mind, the whole long night?
Oh, who came to mind, the whole long night?
The heart ablaze, could find no light.
A fleeting smile, a subtle trace,
A fleeting smile, a subtle trace,
Lost peace, lost heart, in time and space.
Who came to mind, the whole long night?

The breeze arrived, a whispered plea,
The moon alone, on the rooftop, she.
The breeze arrived, a whispered plea,
The moon alone, on the rooftop, she.
Why did you burn your heart so bright?
Why did you burn your heart so bright?
The heart ablaze, could find no light.
Who came to mind, the whole long night?

I tossed and turned, in anxious plea,
My gentle lids, with tears, they flee.
I tossed and turned, in anxious plea,
My gentle lids, with tears, they flee.
I longed for sleep, but could not be,
I longed for sleep, but could not be.
The heart ablaze, could find no light.
Who came to mind, the whole long night?
