jiya jale, jaan jale
jiya jale, jaan jale naino tale dhua chale, dhua chale
jiya jale, jaan jale naino tale dhua chale, dhua chale
raat bhar dhua chale, janu na janu na janu na sakhi re
jiya jale, jaan jale naino tale dhua chale, dhua chale
raat bhar dhua chale, janu na janu na janu na sakhi re
jiya jale, jaan jale

dekhte hain tan mera mann me chubhti hai najar
dekhte hain tan mera mann me chubhti hai najar
honth sil jate unke naram hontho se magar
ginti rehti hu mai apni karvato ke silsile
kya karu kaise kahu, raat kab kaise dhale
jiya jale, jaan jale naino tale dhua chale, dhua chale
raat bhar dhua chale, janu na janu na janu na sakhi re
jiya jale, jaan jale naino tale dhua chale, dhua chale
raat bhar dhua chale, janu na janu na janu na sakhi re
jiya jale, jaan jale

ang ang me jalti hai dard ki chingariya
masle phulo ki mehek me titliyo ki kyariya
raat bhar bechari mehndi pisti hai pairo tale
kya karu kaise kahu, raat kab kaise dhale
jiya jale, jaan jale naino tale dhua chale, dhua chale
raat bhar dhua chale, janu na janu na janu na sakhi re
jiya jale, jaan jale naino tale dhua chale, dhua chale
raat bhar dhua chale, janu na janu na janu na sakhi re
jiya jale, jaan jale, jiya jale, jiya jale

The heart burns, the soul aches,
Beneath the eyes, smoke unfurls, smoke unfurls.
The heart burns, the soul aches,
Beneath the eyes, smoke unfurls, smoke unfurls.
Through the night, smoke ascends, I know not, I know not, I know not, O friend,
The heart burns, the soul aches,
Beneath the eyes, smoke unfurls, smoke unfurls.
Through the night, smoke ascends, I know not, I know not, I know not, O friend,
The heart burns, the soul aches.

They gaze upon my form, a gaze that pierces the core,
They gaze upon my form, a gaze that pierces the core.
Their lips are sealed, upon their gentle lips however,
I count the turning of my restless form,
What can I do, how can I speak, when will the night descend?
The heart burns, the soul aches,
Beneath the eyes, smoke unfurls, smoke unfurls.
Through the night, smoke ascends, I know not, I know not, I know not, O friend,
The heart burns, the soul aches,
Beneath the eyes, smoke unfurls, smoke unfurls.
Through the night, smoke ascends, I know not, I know not, I know not, O friend,
The heart burns, the soul aches.

In every limb, the sparks of pain ignite,
In crushed flowers, the butterfly gardens reside,
Helpless henna, through the night, is ground beneath the feet,
What can I do, how can I speak, when will the night descend?
The heart burns, the soul aches,
Beneath the eyes, smoke unfurls, smoke unfurls.
Through the night, smoke ascends, I know not, I know not, I know not, O friend,
The heart burns, the soul aches,
Beneath the eyes, smoke unfurls, smoke unfurls.
Through the night, smoke ascends, I know not, I know not, I know not, O friend,
The heart burns, the soul aches, the heart burns, the heart burns.
