kitne dino ke baad hai aayi sajna raat milan ki
ab hamse na sahi jaaye judaai aayi raat milan ki
kitne dino ke baad

chanda pyasa taare pyaase pyaasi raat suhani
kaheen adhoori rah na jaaye apni prem kahani
saji sej suhaagan baji shahanaai aayi raat milan ki
kitne dino ke baad

tanhaai ke rusavai ke ham kitne gam jhelen
kahne ko to saath rahen ham phir bhi rahen akele
meri ho ke bhi rahi mujhase paraayi aayi raat milan ki
kitne dino ke baad

do rooho ke milan ka ye waqt guzar na jaaye
mehki mehki raat milan ki jaake phir na aaye
mil jaayenge ham raam duhaai aayi raat milan ki
kitne dino ke baad

After how many suns, Beloved, arrives the night of union,
Separation's ache, I can no longer bear, the night of union.
After how many suns.

The moon, so thirsty, the stars, so yearning, the night, so sweet,
Lest our love's tale remain unfinished, incomplete.
Bed is adorned, a bride's joy rings, the night of union.
After how many suns.

The solitude, the shame, how much sorrow we have known,
Though side by side, we walked alone, forlorn.
Mine, yet alien to me, the night of union.
After how many suns.

This moment of two paths converging, let it not swiftly fade,
Fragrant, the night of union, let it not ever evade.
Let us unite, by God's decree, the night of union.
After how many suns.
