ga ae dil matwale jhum kar saaz utha le
gaaye ja, tu phir gaaye ja
raate badi anokhi, ye din bahut nirale
gaaye ja, tu phir gaaye ja

kyu chand chakor se dur
ghata me phire akela
ye mast jawani, koi din ka mela
aa kisi se aankh mila le
jhum kar saaz utha le
gaaye ja, tu phir gaaye ja

ye mast hawaye kahti hai
milne ki kahani
rut bit na jaye, raate hai jawani
ik duniya nayi basa le
jhum kar saaz utha le
gaaye ja, tu phir gaaye ja

mahak mahak kar
kali kali ko phul pukare
mastana hawa me, haste hai sitare
ab dil ko kaun sambhale
jhum kar saaz utha le
gaaye ja, tu phir gaaye ja

Sing, O heart, intoxicated, lift your strings and sway,
Sing on, and sing again, come what may.
These nights are strange and rare, these days a precious find,
Sing on, and sing again, leave doubt behind.

Why does the moon pursue the night,
Alone, in shadows, taking flight?
This youthful joy, a fleeting fair,
Seek out a soul, a moment to share.
Lift your strings and sway,
Sing on, and sing again, today.

The heady breezes whisper low,
Of meetings that the seasons know.
Let not this time slip away,
For youth's sweet nights will not delay.
Build a world, a love so true,
Lift your strings and sway anew,
Sing on, and sing again for you.

Each bud exhales its sweet perfume,
A flower calls to bloom,
The stars now laugh in joyful sway,
In this wild, intoxicating day.
Who now can still this ardent fire?
Lift your strings and sway higher,
Sing on, and sing again, desire.
