main bhi jawa dil bhi jawa kaisi suhani raat hai
tum paas hokar dur ho ye kitne sitam ki baat hai
main bhi jawa haye dil bhi jawa kaisi suhani raat hai
tum paas hokar dur ho ye kitne sitam ki baat hai

main ishq ka afsana hu tum shama main parwana hu
jalna jalana chhod do chhod do ab umr bhar ka saath hai
tum paas hokar dur ho ye kitne sitam ki baat hai
main bhi jawa dil bhi jawa kaisi suhani raat hai
tum paas hokar dur ho ye kitne sitam ki baat hai

tum meri subahoshaam ho har dard ka aaram ho
phir mere dil se dur kyun dur kyun saajan tumhara aas hai
tum paas hokar dur ho ye kitne sitam ki baat hai
main bhi jawa haye dil bhi jawa kaisi suhani raat hai
tum paas hokar dur ho ye kitne sitam ki baat hai

ab muskurao to zara bijli girao to zara
ab muskurao to zara bijli girao to zara
nazre milao janeman janeman aisi bhala kya baat hai
tum paas hokar dur ho ye kitne sitam ki baat hai
main bhi jawa haye dil bhi jawa kaisi suhani raat hai
tum paas hokar dur ho ye kitne sitam ki baat hai

My youth ablaze, heart aflame, such a night's sweet grace,
You near, yet distant, a cruel, heartbreaking space.
My youth ablaze, ah, heart aflame, such a night's sweet grace,
You near, yet distant, a cruel, heartbreaking space.

I am love's tale, you the flame, I, the moth in flight,
Cease burning, cease consuming, abandon the lifelong plight.
You near, yet distant, a cruel, heartbreaking space.
My youth ablaze, heart aflame, such a night's sweet grace,
You near, yet distant, a cruel, heartbreaking space.

You are my dawn, my evening, solace to every ache,
Then why, my love, from my heart do you constantly break?
You near, yet distant, a cruel, heartbreaking space.
My youth ablaze, heart aflame, such a night's sweet grace,
You near, yet distant, a cruel, heartbreaking space.

Now, smile a little, let lightning flash anew,
Now, smile a little, let lightning flash anew,
Meet my gaze, beloved, what sorrow do you pursue?
You near, yet distant, a cruel, heartbreaking space.
My youth ablaze, heart aflame, such a night's sweet grace,
You near, yet distant, a cruel, heartbreaking space.
