birhan jaage aadhi raat
birhan jaage aadhi raat
kaun sune ab baat
kaun sune ab baat
birhan jaage aadhi raat
birhan jaage aadhi raat

jisne preetam se muh phera
jisne preetam se muh phera
uska suna saanjh savera
uska suna saanjh savera
vo kya sove, vo kya jaage
vo kya sove, vo kya jaage
nain bhare barsaat, nain bhare barsaat
birhan jaage aadhi raat
birhan jaage aadhi raat

dhul bhari sejo me sajni
kaahe bhatak rahe hai
dhul bhari sejo me sajni
kaahe bhatak rahe hai
kis bedardi ke darshan ko
kis bedardi ke darshan ko
naina bhatak rahe hai
kis bedardi ke darshan ko
naina bhatak rahe hai
sab kuch apna kho baithi tu
hanste hanste ro baithi tu
aaj akeli ho baithi tu
aaj akeli ho baithi tu
ab kaahe pachhtaat, ab kaahe pachhtaat
birhan jaage aadhi raat

The lonely soul wakes in the midnight hour,
The lonely soul wakes in the midnight hour.
Who now will hear her plea?
Who now will hear her plea?
The lonely soul wakes in the midnight hour,
The lonely soul wakes in the midnight hour.

She who turned from love's embrace,
She who turned from love's embrace,
Finds her dawn and dusk are desolate space.
Finds her dawn and dusk are desolate space.
How can she sleep, how can she rise?
How can she sleep, how can she rise?
Her eyes, a weeping rain, her eyes, a weeping rain,
The lonely soul wakes in the midnight hour,
The lonely soul wakes in the midnight hour.

In dusty beds, my friend, why do you roam?
In dusty beds, my friend, why do you roam?
For whose cruel face do your eyes still long?
For whose cruel face do your eyes still long?
For whose cruel face do your eyes still long?
For whose cruel face do your eyes still long?
You lost all, freely given,
You lost all, freely given,
Laughed and wept, now broken,
Laughed and wept, now broken,
Alone you sit, forsaken,
Alone you sit, forsaken,
Why now regret, why now regret,
The lonely soul wakes in the midnight hour.
