dildara dil nashi mulakate teri baate afri
dildara nazmi ye nigahe ye adaye afri
aadhi aadhi raato ke saye me dil kho na jaye
aadhi aadhi raato ke saye me kuch ho na jaye
dildara dil nashi mulakate teri baate afri
dildara nazmi ye nigahe ye adaye afri
aadhi aadhi raato ke saye me dil kho na jaye
aadhi aadhi raato ke saye me kuch ho na jaye

baaho ke ghere me jab koi aa jaata hai
pyaase khayalo me jaadu sa chha jaata hai
wo khamoshiya kah rahi badguma hai shama
mere yara hamnashi ye ishare ye najare afri
aadhi aadhi raato ke saye me dil kho na jaye
aadhi aadhi raato ke saye me kuch ho na jaye

koi diwana hai koi hai pagal yaha
alam bhi katil hai mushkil me hai sabki ja
betaabiya badh rahi aa gaye ham ye kaha
dildara mahzabi ishk mera husn tera afri
aadhi aadhi raato ke saye me dil kho na jaye
aadhi aadhi raato ke saye me kuch ho na jaye

Beloved, your embrace, your words, a wonder spun,
Beloved, eyes so kind, your grace, a dawn begun.
In shadows of the midnight, let the heart not stray,
In shadows of the midnight, let no dark befall this day.
Beloved, your embrace, your words, a wonder spun,
Beloved, eyes so kind, your grace, a dawn begun.
In shadows of the midnight, let the heart not stray,
In shadows of the midnight, let no dark befall this day.

When arms entwine, a circle softly made,
In thirsty thoughts, a magic is displayed.
Those silences speak doubt, the candle sighs,
My friend, companion, these signs, these views, a prize.
In shadows of the midnight, let the heart not stray,
In shadows of the midnight, let no dark befall this day.

Some are mad, some lost within the haze,
The world itself, a killer, in these perilous days.
Restless longings grow, where have we come?
Beloved, my beauty, your love, a wonder to be sung.
In shadows of the midnight, let the heart not stray,
In shadows of the midnight, let no dark befall this day.
