raat ka aanchal dhalka dhalka hai
jaam tere haatho se chhalka hai
raat ka aanchal dhalka dhalka hai
jaam tere haatho se chhalka hai
o raat ka aanchal dhalka dhalka hai

raat nasheeli jaam nasheele
raat nasheeli jaam nasheele
jaane tamanna ye ras peele
roz milte hai kahan
kaatil hasin kitne jawaan
roz milte hai kahan
kaatil hasin kitne jawaan
raat ka aanchal dhalka dhalka hai
jaam tere haatho se chhalka hai
o raat ka aanchal dhalka dhalka hai

mehke huye hai zulf ke saye
mehke huye hai zulf ke saye
jaane najar kyun uthati jaaye
aaj se pahle kabhi dil ki lagi jaagi naa thi
aaj se pahle kabhi dil ki lagi jaagi naa thi
raat ka aanchal dhalka dhalka hai
jaam tere haatho se chhalka hai
o raat ka aanchal dhalka dhalka hai

meri khushi ka khwaab naa tute
meri khushi ka khwaab naa tute
haath se tere jaam naa chhute
meri khushi ka khwaab naa tute
haath se tere jaam naa chhute
zindagi hasti rahe nagme rahe gaati rahe
zindagi hasti rahe nagme rahe gaati rahe
raat ka aanchal dhalka dhalka hai
jaam tere haatho se chhalka hai
o raat ka aanchal dhalka dhalka hai
jaam tere haatho se chhalka hai
o raat ka aanchal dhalka dhalka hai

The night's veil, a slow unfurl,
From your hand, the chalice swirls.
The night's veil, a slow unfurl,
From your hand, the chalice swirls.
Oh, the night's veil, a slow unfurl.

Night is heady, drinks are deep,
Night is heady, drinks are deep,
Let the soul this nectar keep.
Where do such moments reside?
Where do such killers abide?
Where do such moments reside?
Where do such killers abide?
The night's veil, a slow unfurl,
From your hand, the chalice swirls.
Oh, the night's veil, a slow unfurl.

Your tresses breathe a perfumed air,
Your tresses breathe a perfumed air,
Why does my gaze linger there?
Before this eve, love's fire did not ignite,
Before this eve, love's fire did not ignite.
The night's veil, a slow unfurl,
From your hand, the chalice swirls.
Oh, the night's veil, a slow unfurl.

May my joy's dream never cease,
May my joy's dream never cease,
From your hand, may the chalice never release.
May my joy's dream never cease,
From your hand, may the chalice never release.
Let life laugh, let melodies play,
Let life laugh, let melodies play.
The night's veil, a slow unfurl,
From your hand, the chalice swirls.
Oh, the night's veil, a slow unfurl,
From your hand, the chalice swirls.
Oh, the night's veil, a slow unfurl.
