aayaa na koi aise yahaan, chham se na hogaa
o kaam kiyaa hamane vo, rustam se na hogaa

raat kaa samaa jhume chandramaa
tan moraa naache re jaise bijuriyaa
raat kaa samaa jhume chandramaa
tan moraa naache re jaise bijuriyaa
raat kaa sama
dekho dekho dekho hun nadi pyaar ki
suno suno suno baandhe nainaa bandhi
mai alabeli maan lo badi ziddi
mai alabeli maan lo badi ziddi
maane mujhako jahaa
raat kaa samaa

naachun naachun naachun morani baag ki
dolun dolun dolun hiraniyaa madabhari
ghugar baaje chhmaa-chham
ghugar baaje chhmaa-chham
raat kaa samaa

dhire dhire dhire jit meri hu_i
haule haule haule haar teri hu_i
teri tarah jaa re jaa bahut dekhe
teri tarah jaa re jaa bahut dekhe
mujhasaa koi kahaan
raat kaa samaa

No one arrives like this, a shimmer unseen,
The work we've wrought, no hero could convene.

The night's embrace, the moon it sways,
My body dances, a lightning blaze.
The night's embrace, the moon it sways,
My body dances, a lightning blaze.
The night's embrace.
Behold, behold, I am love's river,
Listen, listen, my eyes entwine forever.
I am a rebel, stubborn and free,
I am a rebel, stubborn and free,
The world concedes to me.
The night's embrace.

I dance, I dance, a peacock in the grove,
I sway, I sway, a deer drunk on love.
The anklets chime, with a rhythmic sound,
The anklets chime, with a rhythmic sound,
The night's embrace.

Slowly, slowly, victory is mine,
Gently, gently, defeat is thine.
Go, depart, like you, I've seen a throng,
Go, depart, like you, I've seen a throng,
But one like me, where can you find?
The night's embrace.
