jhum jhum dhalti raat
jhum jhum dhalti raat
leke chali mujhe apne sath
jhum jhum dhalti raat

jane kahan le jaye dard bhara ye dil
jaise sada deti hain khoyi hui manjil
jane kahan le jaye
chhodo piya mera chhodo hath
jhum jhum dhalti raat
jhum jhum dhalti raat

haal ye hain masti ka, saans lagi thamne
utne rahe pyase hum jitni bhi pee humne
utne rahe pyase hum
gam ko badha gayi gam ki maut
jhum jhum dhalti raat
leke chali mujhe apne sath
jhum jhum dhalti raat
jhum jhum dhalti raat

The night descends in sway,
The night descends in sway,
Takes me along its way,
The night descends in sway.

Where does this aching heart take me?
Like a lost quest, eternally,
Where does it lead, this pain?
Release me, love, release my hand,
The night descends in sway,
The night descends in sway.

Intoxication’s grip, breath starts to cease,
Thirst remains, however much the release,
Thirst remains within,
Sorrow's demise, sorrow's increase,
The night descends in sway,
Takes me along its way,
The night descends in sway,
The night descends in sway.
