hai rat pyasi chhod ho udasi sun lo zara si ye dasta
ke tan badan jale ye mera hai rat pyasi chhod ho udasi
sun lo zara si ye dasta ke tan badan jale ye mera
aaja zara aaja aaja zara kabhi kabhi aayi sanam dekho
ha ye ghadi mastani aise me na lute maze zidgani
ke to royegi jawani kabhi kabhi aayi sanam dekho
ha ye ghadi mastani aise me na lute maze zidgani
ke to royegi jawani mai jawa tum jawa phir tum
kaha ho tum yu gum oo dilruba

hai rat pyasi chhod ho udasi sun lo zara si ye dasta
ke tan badan jale ye mera hai rat pyasi chhod ho udasi
sun lo jara si ye dasta ke tan badan jale mera
aaja zara aaja aaja zara

dhire dhire kano me kya bole haye
nasili tanhayi ghadi ghadi mere ye arman
lene lage hai angadayi
dhire dhire kano me kya bole haye
nasili tanhayi parapaa pa pa
ghadi ghadi mere ye arman
lene lage hai angadayi aa mila dil mera aa mila dil
tu dil se dil mera hai rat pyasi chhod ho udasi
sun lo zara si ye dasta ke tan badan jale mera
hai rat ptas chhod ho udasi sun lo zara si ye dasta
ki tan badan jale mera aaja zara aaja aaja zara

The night thirsts, leave sorrow behind,
Listen closely, this tale you'll find.
My body burns, a flickering pyre,
The night thirsts, leave sorrow, aspire.

Listen closely, this tale unfolds,
My body burns, the story told.
Come closer, come close, draw near,
Sometimes, my love, appear, appear.

This hour, a tempest, wild and free,
Don't let life's pleasures flee.
For youth will weep, its moments lost,
Sometimes, my love, at what a cost.

This hour, a tempest, wild and bold,
Don't let life's treasures grow cold.
For youth will weep, its fire dimmed,
I'll go, you'll go, then where are we, limb from limb?
Oh, where are you, in sorrow's guise,
My beloved, before my eyes?

The night thirsts, leave sorrow behind,
Listen closely, this tale you'll find.
My body burns, a flickering pyre,
The night thirsts, leave sorrow, aspire.
Listen closely, this tale unfolds,
My body burns, the story told.
Come closer, come close, draw near.

Whispers softly in my ear,
Intoxicated solitude, oh fear!
Hour by hour, my longings yearn,
Stretching out, desires return.

Whispers softly, soft and low,
Intoxicated, to and fro.
Hour by hour, my dreams ignite,
Stretching out, into the night.
Come, my heart, come join with mine,
You are from my soul, a divine sign!
The night thirsts, leave sorrow behind,
Listen closely, this tale you'll find.
My body burns, a pyre so dire,
The night thirsts, leave sorrow, aspire.
Listen closely, this tale unfurls,
My body burns, in swirling whirls.
Come closer, come close, draw near.
