ab raat gayi hai beet re
ab raat gayi hai beet re
aaya jo savera panchhi ko
aaya jo savera panchhi ko
mil gaya milan ka geet re
ab raat gayi hai beet re

andhiyare ka jab parda hata
chhup gaye sitaare moti luta
reshmi kuhasa utha utha
suraj purab se jhankta
utar chanchal dakshin halchal
pachhim ne suna sangeet re
ab raat gayi hai beet re

nadiya ke man me uthi lahar
jaage van parwat gaanv nagar
bhanvre mandlaaye ud ud kar
kaliyon ne dekha mud mud kar
mud mud kar
soye kamlo ke paas kiran
aai karne ko preet re
ab raat gayi hai beet re

jaati hai raat din aata hai
soya jahan jag jata hai
ek husn naya lahrata hai
hanste hai nayan man gata hai
gata hai, man gata hai
hasna hai kabhi, gaana hai kabhi
jeene ki yahi hai reet re
ab raat gayi hai beet re

ab raat gayi hai beet re
ab raat gayi hai beet re

The night has passed, it has flown,
The night has passed, it has flown.
When dawn arrived, for the bird,
When dawn arrived, for the bird,
A song of union was known.
The night has passed, it has flown.

When the veil of darkness withdrew,
The stars concealed, their pearls eschewed,
A silken mist began to brew,
The sun peered east, anew.
South, a playful stirring,
Westward, music was hewn.
The night has passed, it has flown.

A wave arose in the river's heart,
Woke forest, mountain, village, mart.
Bees circled, playing their part,
Buds observed, turning to start,
Turning to start.
Beside sleeping lotuses, the ray,
Came to offer love's sweet art.
The night has passed, it has flown.

Night departs, the day arrives,
The sleeping world, it now revives.
A fresh beauty then survives,
Eyes laugh, the heart now strives,
Now strives, the heart now strives.
To laugh sometimes, to sing sometimes,
This is the rhythm life contrives.
The night has passed, it has flown,
The night has passed, it has flown,
The night has passed, it has flown.
