ae ji o ji kaho badi aaj ki hai darvani raat
jara jagte rehna ae ji o ji kaho
badi beiman hai ye raat jara bach ke rehna
aisa mat bolo ji lage mohe darr
darr jo lage to gori aa jao idhar
tumhe kya khabar badi dur mera ghar
mai hu tere paas gori fir kya fikar ae ji o ji kaho
kahi ho na jaye aisi baat jara jagte rehna
badi beiman hai ye raat jara bach ke rehna

aaj ki ye raat badi hai kator
hamko bata do ji kab ho gi bor
gori tera dil hua kahe kamjor
suna hai ke rehta hai yaha ek chor
ae ji o ji kaho badi buri hoti chor ki daat
jara bach ke rehna badi aaj ki darvani hai raat
jara jagte rehna

kale kale ghan dekho bane dushaman
bade dokhebaj hai ye lut lete man
koi to upay karo koi to jatan
are iske liye dena hoga pyar ka vachan
ae ji o ji kaho dekho chhod na dena mera hath
jara jagte rehna

Oh, beloved, a night of dread has descended,
Stay awake, dear one, heed my plea.
This night, a treacherous thief, its heart unbending,
Beware its shadows, and flee.

Do not speak so, fear grips my core,
If fear you feel, my love, come closer near.
You know not how distant is my door,
But I am by your side, dispel all fear.
Oh, beloved, let not such words be said,
Stay awake, lest we be undone,
This night, a liar, with schemes it has bred,
Beware its darkness, until the sun.

This night, a cruel, unyielding plight,
Tell us, oh tell us, when dawns the light?
My love, why does your spirit take flight?
They say a thief roams here in the night.
Oh, beloved, the thief's bite is so foul,
Beware its shadow, fear's embrace,
This night of terror, a haunting scowl,
Stay awake, and find your saving grace.

Black clouds gather, foes of the soul,
Deceivers they are, stealing the whole.
Find a solution, make your spirit whole,
To conquer this darkness, make love your goal.
Oh, beloved, do not release my hand,
Stay awake, until the shadows cease.
