aa aa aa aa
jhum jhum dhalti raat
jhum jhum dhalti raat
leke chali mujhe apane sath
jhum jhum dhalti raat

jaane kaha le jaye, dard bhara ye dil
jaise samma deti hain, khoyi hui manjil
jaane kaha le jaye
chhodo piya mera chhodo haath
jhum jhum dhalti raat
jhum jhum dhalti raat

haal ye hain masti ka, saans lagi thamne
utane rahe pyase ham, jitani bhi pi hamne
utane rahe pyase ham
gam ko badha gayi gam ki maar
jhum jhum dhalti raat
leke chali mujhe apane sath
jhum jhum dhalti raat
jhum jhum dhalti raat

Ah, ah, ah, ah,
The night descends, swaying low,
The night descends, swaying slow,
It takes me with it, to and fro,
The night descends, swaying low.

Where will it lead, this heart in pain?
Like a lost horizon, in a drenching rain,
Where will it lead?
Release me, love, release my hand,
The night descends, swaying the land,
The night descends, swaying the land.

This drunken state, breath barely there,
The more we drink, the thirst we bear,
The more we drink, the thirst we bear,
Grief swells, by grief’s harsh blow,
The night descends, swaying low,
It takes me with it, to and fro,
The night descends, swaying low,
The night descends, swaying low.
