rat na jaye, teri yad sataye
din dhal jaye hay rat na jaye
tu to na aaye teri yad sataye
din dhal jaye

pyar me jinke sab jag chhoda aur huye badnam
unke hi haatho haal hua ye
baithe hai dil ko tham
apne kabhi the ab hai paraye
din dhal jaye hay rat na jaye
tu to na aaye teri yad sataye
din dhal jaye

aisi hi rimjhim aisi fuhaarein
aisi hi thi barasat
khud se juda aur
jag se pareshan hum dono the sath
phir se wo sawaan ab kyun na aaye
din dhal jaye hay rat na jaye
tu to na aaye teri yad sataye
din dhal jaye

Night won't depart, your memory haunts,
The day descends, alas, night won't depart.
You won't return, your memory haunts,
The day descends.

For love, we left the world, bore scorn,
By their own hands, this fate was born.
We sit here, clutching hearts forlorn,
Once ours, now alien, a world torn.
The day descends, alas, night won't depart.
You won't return, your memory haunts,
The day descends.

Like this soft drizzle, like these showers,
Like that downpour of past hours.
Apart from self, and troubled by the world,
Together, then, our flags unfurled.
Why won't that monsoon now return to us?
The day descends, alas, night won't depart.
You won't return, your memory haunts,
The day descends.
