bhole bhale sanam matwale sanam
raat jave hai jave hai raat jaave hai
more pyare balam matwale balam
nind aave hai aave hai nind aave hai

jaao jaao ji balam o balam besharam
teri jaan ki kasam nind aave hai
tera kaisa ye sitam jara soch to sanam
o sanam bereham raat jaave hai
nind aave hai aave hai nind aave hai
raat jave hai jave hai raat jaave hai

rani aaj meri gadi pahuchi dil ke gaav tak
pahuchi dil ke gaav tak
raja mai bhi teri ho gayi dekh sar se panv tak
dekho sar se paav tak
main takiya tu rajai tu ghas main diya salayi
main sina tu angdai tu tabla main shehnayi
tumhe jaan gaye ham karo pyar jara kam
kaise karungi hajam jee ghabrave hai
more pyare balam matwale balam
nind aave hai aave hai nind aave hai
bhole bhale sanam matwale sanam
raat jave hai jave hai raat jaave hai

kya baat khatta nimbu bhi rasgulla ban gaya
ye sher tere jaadu se ab billa ban gaya
mehaman mere manmane maine dhang tere pehchane
balam banke lage satane main aaya pyaas bujhane
aao gaaye milke ham dur huye saare gham
o sanam na ham tumhe satave hai
nind aave hai aave hai nind aave hai
raat jave hai jave hai raat jaave hai

Innocent darling, intoxicated one,
Night departs, departs, the night departs.
My beloved, my intoxicated one,
Sleep descends, descends, sleep descends.

Go, go away, my love, shameless one,
By your life, I swear, sleep descends.
What cruelty is this, think, my love,
Oh, heartless love, the night departs.
Sleep descends, descends, sleep descends.
Night departs, departs, the night departs.

My queen, today my chariot reached the heart's village,
Reached the heart's village.
King, I am yours, from head to toe,
Look, from head to toe.
I am the pillow, you the quilt, I am the grass, you the match,
I am the chest, you the stretch, I am the tabla, you the shehnai.
We know you well, love less,
How will I endure it? I am troubled,
My beloved, my intoxicated one,
Sleep descends, descends, sleep descends.
Innocent darling, intoxicated one,
Night departs, departs, the night departs.

What is this? Even sour lime turns to sweet,
By your magic, the tiger is now a kitten.
My guest, so willful, I know your ways,
As a lover, you tease, I came to quench thirst.
Come, let us sing together, all sorrows gone,
Oh love, we do not torment you.
Sleep descends, descends, sleep descends.
Night departs, departs, the night departs.
