ae raat ke andhere
mujhko gale laga le
ruthe hue hai, meri takdeer ke ujale
ae raat ke andhere

tanha tadap tadap kar
rate gujarti hu
ho ashko se zindagi ka
daman sawarti hu
sabhi aag jal chuki hai
aaye na, aane wale
ae raat ke andhere
mujhko gale laga le
ruthe hue hai, meri takdeer ke ujale
ae raat ke andhere

zakhmo se khelne ki
aadat si ho gayi hai
o dukh dard jhelne ki
aadat si ho gayi hai
is zindagi ke sare andaz hai nirale
ae raat ke andhere
mujhko gale laga le
ruthe hue hai, meri takdeer ke ujale
ae raat ke andhere

manjil pukarti hai, aaja hasin raahi
o mumkin hai tujhko roke
badhti huyi syaahi
tu shamme dil jalakar
aage kadam badha le
ae raat ke andhere
mujhko gale laga le
ruthe hue hai, meri takdeer ke ujale
ae raat ke andhere

sunsan raasto ko
phir nind aa chali hai
o kya baat hai
hawa ne phir saans rok li hai
phir pad gaye fiza pe
aakashiyo ke taale
ae raat ke andhere
mujhko gale laga le
ruthe hue hai, meri takdeer ke ujale
ae raat ke andhere

phir aaj aasma se
tuta koi sitara
o shayad kiya kisi ko
phir maut ne ishara
aabad ho raha hai, anjam ke hawale
ae raat ke andhere
mujhko gale laga le
ruthe hue hai, meri takdeer ke ujale
ae raat ke andhere

O, Darkness of Night,
Embrace me in your hold,
My destiny's lights, they have turned cold.
O, Darkness of Night.

Alone, I writhe and weep,
As nights relentlessly unfold,
With tears, I try to keep
My life's tattered garments whole.
All fires have turned to ash,
The one I wait for, does not come,
O, Darkness of Night,
Embrace me in your hold,
My destiny's lights, they have turned cold.
O, Darkness of Night.

To play with wounds,
A habit I have grown,
To bear the aches, the sounds,
A rhythm I have known.
This life's peculiar ways,
Are strange and newly sewn,
O, Darkness of Night,
Embrace me in your hold,
My destiny's lights, they have turned cold.
O, Darkness of Night.

The destination calls, "Come, lovely traveler,"
But perhaps the thickening ink,
Will hold you as a jailer,
Ignite the lamp within your heart,
And take a step, however frail,
O, Darkness of Night,
Embrace me in your hold,
My destiny's lights, they have turned cold.
O, Darkness of Night.

The silent paths succumb,
To slumber's gentle grace,
Oh, what has overcome?
The wind holds still its breath and pace.
Again, across the air,
The sky has locked its space,
O, Darkness of Night,
Embrace me in your hold,
My destiny's lights, they have turned cold.
O, Darkness of Night.

Again, a star descends,
From the celestial shore,
Perhaps, Death now intends,
To beckon someone more.
The end is drawing near,
To be in its domain and core.
O, Darkness of Night,
Embrace me in your hold,
My destiny's lights, they have turned cold.
O, Darkness of Night.
