diwaali ki raat piyaa ghar aane waale hai
sajan ghar aane waale hai
balam ghar aane waale hai -2

jhum-jhum kar diye ki baati
mere dil ko kare ishaaraa -2
jaan ga_i mai aane waalaa
hai teraa saajan pyaaraa -2

diwaali ki raat piyaa ghar aane waale hai
sajan ghar aane waale hai
balam ghar aane waale hai

jin galiyo se aaye balamawaa
un galiyo me nain bichhaa_un
qadam-qadam par aashaa_o ke
dip jalaati jaa_un -2

diwaali ki raat piyaa ghar aane waale hai
sajan ghar aane waale hai
balam ghar aane waale hai

aaj raat aankho-aankho me
kah dungi sab dil ki baate -2
roz-roz kab aati hai ye
madur milan ki raate -2

diwaali ki raat piyaa ghar aane waale hai
sajan ghar aane waale hai
balam ghar aane waale hai -2

On Diwali night, my love shall return,
My beloved, returning, my beloved, returning.
My heart's lord, returning, my heart's lord, returning.

The lamps' dance, their flames now sway,
My heart they beckon, my heart they sway.
I know he's coming, my heart knows,
My beloved, my darling, my beloved.

On Diwali night, my love shall return,
My beloved, returning, my beloved, returning.
My heart's lord, returning, my heart's lord, returning.

Where he shall tread, the lanes he'll grace,
My eyes I'll scatter in that place.
At every step, hope's soft flame I'll raise,
My lamps alight, my lamps ablaze.

On Diwali night, my love shall return,
My beloved, returning, my beloved, returning.
My heart's lord, returning, my heart's lord, returning.

Tonight, in eyes, our secrets kept,
My heart's words spoken, love's words wept.
Such sweet reunions, how rarely they bloom,
In these sweet nights, love's sweet perfume.

On Diwali night, my love shall return,
My beloved, returning, my beloved, returning.
My heart's lord, returning, my heart's lord, returning.
