bade berang se sanjh ke rang ye
finke finke finke finke bhaye
finke finke finke finke bhaye
lage bedhand se khush si umang pe
lage bedhand se khush si umang pe
tikhe tikhe tikhe teer gadhe
tikhe tikhe tikhe teer gadhe
tane fitne ye haye tanha waqt ke saye

taane fitne ye haye tanha waqt ke saye
jagi jagi ratiya aadhi jhuthi neendiya
jagi jagi ratiya aadhi jhuthi
neendiya khalipan shoor kare
bade berang se sanjh ke rang ye
bade berang se sanjh ke rang ye
finke finke finke finke bhaye
finke finke finke finke bhaye

These hues of evening, muted and frail,
Faint, so faint, a pallid trail.
Faint, so faint, a pallid trail,
Clumsy joy upon the rise, they fail,
Clumsy joy upon the rise, they fail.
Sharp, sharp arrows pierce and sear,
Sharp, sharp arrows pierce and sear,
Whispers of the lonely hours, and fear.

Whispers of the lonely hours, and fear.
Awake, awake, the night, half-slumbering near,
Awake, awake, the night, half-slumbering near,
Slumber’s phantom, whispers here.
These hues of evening, muted and frail,
These hues of evening, muted and frail,
Faint, so faint, a pallid trail.
Faint, so faint, a pallid trail.
