aaja aaja ke hum hai akele
aaja aaja ke hum hai akele
sajan albele balam albele
aaja aaja ke hum hai akele
aaja aaja ke hum hai akele
sajan albele balam albele

sham ki sama par bouchhare hai parvano ki
khairiyat ab na jara bhi in diwano ki
kuchh khabar bhi hai tujhe ruth kar jane vale
ke bulaye bhi chale aate hai aane vale
ke tere sath bhi hai taro ke mele
tere sath bhi hai taro ke mele
baharo ke mele khushi ke jhmele
aaja aaja ke hum hai akele
aaja aaja ke hum hai akele
sajan albele balam albele

sham hijrat meri nigaah mein koi baat nahi
aaj ya main hun ya tum ho ya raat nahi
huye behal hai kashmiri ke nagino mein
tera jabab kahan misra ke hasino mein
isi liye shbe game khushnasib tujhe
pukarta hai ye khaddr ali jarur tujhe
ke chori chori sadaye de
chori chori sadaye de
mere albele mera dil lele
aaja aaja ke hum hai akele
aaja aaja ke hum hai akele
sajan albele balam albele

khushi ka jaam par tu hai aaj sath nahi
ye chand raat magar ye chand raat nahi
na kije mohabbat aajad hoti hai
har ek hakim ki niyat kharab hoti hai
jo raaj baksha hai to aake taaj bhi de ja
diya hai dard to uska ilaj bhi de ja
sara jivan hai sang sang khele
sara jivan hai sang sang khele
are rang khele akele akele
aaja aaja ke hum hai akele
aaja aaja ke hum hai akele
sajan albele balam albele
aaja aaja ke hum hai akele
aaja aaja ke hum hai akele

Come, oh come, for we are alone,
Come, oh come, for we are alone,
My beloved, my rogue, my heart's own,
Come, oh come, for we are alone,
Come, oh come, for we are alone,
My beloved, my rogue, my heart's own.

The evening's canvas, a moth's soft rain,
No solace remains in this heart's domain,
Do you know, you who turned and fled?
Unbidden, some spirits return instead,
With you, the stars ignite and gleam,
With you, the stars ignite and gleam,
A fair of springs, of joy's bright dream,
Come, oh come, for we are alone,
Come, oh come, for we are alone,
My beloved, my rogue, my heart's own.

The evening's absence, a vacant gaze,
Today, it's I, or you, or night's maze,
Kashmir's serpents, by sorrow undone,
No equal to you, in Egypt's sun,
Thus, the night of grief, so blessed to be,
Calls to you, Khaddar Ali, eternally,
Whispers in secret, soft and low,
Whispers in secret, soft and low,
My rogue, steal my heart's echo,
Come, oh come, for we are alone,
Come, oh come, for we are alone,
My beloved, my rogue, my heart's own.

The cup of joy, but you're not here,
This moonlit night, yet lacks all cheer,
Do not love, it sets spirits free,
Each ruler's heart, tainted to be,
If you bestowed a kingdom's hold,
Then, with healing, let pain unfold,
Through all life's journey, side by side,
Through all life's journey, side by side,
Oh, play with hues, yet still confide,
Come, oh come, for we are alone,
Come, oh come, for we are alone,
My beloved, my rogue, my heart's own,
Come, oh come, for we are alone,
Come, oh come, for we are alone.
