aaj ki raat chirago ki lou uchi kar lo
aaj ki raat chirago ki lou uchi kar lo
ho sake to dil ki aag aanchal me bhar lo
apni aag me jalna hoga aaj akele chalna hoga
andhere me jalna hoga aaj akele chalna hoga

Tonight, let the lamps leap higher, soar,
Tonight, let the lamps leap higher, soar,
If you can, gather heart's fire in your shawl's fold.
In your own blaze you must burn, tonight you must walk alone,
In the dark you must burn, tonight you must walk alone.
