kaali raat aayi nahi shor tha

kaali raat aayi nahi shor tha

lala ke kamre me pahuncha lala ghabraye
hatho se munh band kiya chilla bhi na paye

fata fat bhag, fata fat fata fat ja
kaali raat aayi nahi shor tha
chupke chupke aaya wo kala chor tha
kaali raat aayi nahi shor tha
chupke chupke aaya wo

The darkest night arrived, no clamor did it bring,
A silent thief it was, on whispers taking wing.
The darkest night arrived, no clamor could be heard,
A shadowed thief it was, in silence it occurred.

To Lala's chambers, he did then proceed,
Lala in fear, his breath began to bleed.
His hands to his mouth, a desperate, silent plea,
Unable to cry out, for all the world to see.
Four companions he had, a wicked, shadowed crew,
Not like the mouse, but giants, their purpose true.
They circled Lala, their intent was dire,
A band of mischief, fueled by dark desire.
The darkest night arrived, no clamor did it bring,
A silent thief it was, on whispers taking wing.

La la la la la la
La la la l l la

Two held his arms, a grip so cold and tight,
Two held his legs, to banish all his light.
A cloth upon his eyes, a shadowed, blinding shroud,
"Well, well," they spoke, their voices loud.
"Where is the key to all you hold so dear?"
"Baba, I know not," he whispered, filled with fear.
"You lie!" they spat, their anger taking hold,
"Where is the key, the story to be told?"
"Brother Thief, the key is lost, I do avow,"
"I'll make you chutney, or you give it now!"
The darkest night arrived, no clamor did it bring,
A silent thief it was, on whispers taking wing.

The thief from Lala's pocket, the key he did retrieve,
Unlocking thievery, all he wished to weave.
He plundered all the goods, a feast for greedy eyes,
Then fled like a mighty bull, beneath the darkened skies.
The watchman woke, and roused to stand his ground,
The four thieves shouted, as they fled around.
"Flee fast, flee fast, run with all your might!"
"Flee fast, flee fast, into the endless night!"
The darkest night arrived, no clamor did it bring,
A silent thief it was, on whispers taking wing.
The darkest night arrived, no clamor could be heard,
A shadowed thief it was, in silence it occurred.
