jane kya bat hai, jane kya bat hai
jane kya bat hai, jane kya bat hai
nind nahi aati badi lambi rat hai
jane kya bat hai, jane kya bat hai
jane kya bat hai, jane kya bat hai
nind nahi aati badi lambi rat hai

sari sari rat mujhe isne jagaya
sari sari rat mujhe isne jagaya
jaise koi sapna, jaise koi saya
koi nahi lagta hai koi mere sath hai
jane kya bat hai, jane kya bat hai
nind nahi aati badi lambi rat hai

dhak-dhak kabhi se jiya dol raha hai
dhak-dhak kabhi se jiya dol raha hai
ghunghat abhi se mera khol raha hai
dur abhi to piya ki mulakat hai
jane kya bat hai, jane kya bat hai
nind nahi aati badi lambi rat hai

jab jab dekhu mai ye chand sitare
jab jab dekhu mai ye chand sitare
aisa lagta hai mujhe laz ke mare
jaise koi doli, jaise barat hai
jane kya bat hai, jane kya bat hai
nind nahi aati badi lambi rat hai

I know not what it is, I know not what it is,
I know not what it is, I know not what it is,
Sleep evades me, the night stretches, a boundless abyss,
I know not what it is, I know not what it is,
I know not what it is, I know not what it is,
Sleep evades me, the night stretches, a boundless abyss.

All through the night, it keeps me awake,
All through the night, it keeps me awake,
Like a dream, a shadow it does make,
No one feels near, no company I take,
I know not what it is, I know not what it is,
Sleep evades me, the night stretches, a boundless abyss.

My heart has trembled, for a time untold,
My heart has trembled, for a time untold,
It lifts the veil, a story to unfold,
Yet far off still, my lover's embrace,
I know not what it is, I know not what it is,
Sleep evades me, the night stretches, a boundless abyss.

When I gaze upon the moon and stars so bright,
When I gaze upon the moon and stars so bright,
I feel a blush, a shyness of the night,
Like a palanquin, a wedding in my sight,
I know not what it is, I know not what it is,
Sleep evades me, the night stretches, a boundless abyss.
