aaj ki raat
aaj ki raat saaze dil-e- purdard na chhed

kaun ulfat ka jo haste huye taro ne suna
band kaliyo ne suna mast baharo ne suna
sab se chhup kar jise
sab se chhup kar jise do prem ke maro ne suna
khwab ki baat samjh, usko hakikat na bana
aaj ki raat saaze dil-e- purdard na chhed
aaj ki rat

ab hai armano pe chhaye huye badal kale
fut kar risne lage hai mere dil ke chhale
aankh bhar aayi chhalakne ko hai ab ye pyale
muskuraye mere hal pe duniyan wale
aaj ki raat saaze dil-e- purdard na chhed
aaj ki rat

bebso par ye sitam khub jamane ne kiya
bebso par ye sitam khub jamane ne kiya
khel khela tha mohabbat ka adhura hi raha
khel khela tha mohabbat ka adhura hi raha
haye takdir, ke takdir se pura na hua
haye takdir, ke takdir se pura na hua
aise aani thi judai mujhe malum na tha
aaj ki rat saaze dil-e- purdard na chhed
aaj ki rat

Tonight,
Tonight, do not stir the strings of a wounded heart.

The secret whispered by lovers,
Heard by laughing stars and budding blooms,
Secretly shared,
Secretly shared, heard by two hearts consumed,
Treat it as a dream, do not make it real.
Tonight, do not stir the strings of a wounded heart.
Tonight.

Now, black clouds gather over desires,
And my heart's wounds begin to weep,
My eyes overflow, these cups are about to spill,
The world will laugh at my plight.
Tonight, do not stir the strings of a wounded heart.
Tonight.

This cruelty, the world inflicts on the helpless,
This cruelty, the world inflicts on the helpless,
The game of love, left unfinished,
The game of love, left unfinished,
Alas, fate, never allowed it to be whole,
Alas, fate, never allowed it to be whole,
I never knew separation would come this way.
Tonight, do not stir the strings of a wounded heart.
Tonight.
