badi dheere jali raina, dhuwa dhuwa naina
badi dheere jali raina, dhuwa dhuwa naina
raato se haule haule kholi hai kinari
ankhiyo ne taga taga bholu kaari
khali ankhiyo se dhuwa jaaye na
badi dheere jali raina, dhuwa dhuwa naina

palko pe sapno ki agni uthaye
humne do ankhiyo ke aalne jalaye
palko pe sapno ki agni uthaye
humne do ankhiyo ke aalne jalaye
dard ne kabhi loriya sunayi to
dard ne kabhi neend se jagaya re
beri ankhiyo se na jaaye dhuwa jaaye naa
badi dheere jali raina, dhuwa dhuwa naina
badi dheere jali raina, dhuwa dhuwa naina

jalte charago me neend na aaye
phunko se humne sab taare bujhaye
jalte charago me neend na aaye
phunko se humne sab taare bujhaye
jaane kya khoye raat ki pitari se
kholu to kuve bhor ki kinari re
suji ankhiyo se na jaaye dhuwa jaaye naa
badi dheere jali raina, dhuwa dhuwa naina

Slowly the night burns, smoke in my eyes,
Slowly the night burns, smoke in my eyes.
The red, unravels its edges so shy,
My eyes, threads of darkness, begin to cry.
From empty eyes, no smoke can rise,
Slowly the night burns, smoke in my eyes.

On lashes, the fire of dreams is held,
We have burned cradles where our twin eyes dwelled.
On lashes, the fire of dreams is held,
We have burned cradles where our twin eyes dwelled.
When pain sang lullabies, a tender guise,
When pain awoke me from sleep, a surprise.
From weary eyes, no smoke can rise,
Slowly the night burns, smoke in my eyes.
Slowly the night burns, smoke in my eyes.

In burning lamps, sleep cannot reside,
With breaths, we extinguished stars, far and wide.
In burning lamps, sleep cannot reside,
With breaths, we extinguished stars, far and wide.
What secrets the night's coffers hide,
I open to the dawn's river's tide.
From swollen eyes, no smoke can rise,
Slowly the night burns, smoke in my eyes.
