raat kaise kati bata na sake
raat kaise kati bata na sake
haale dil bhi unhe suna na sake
haale dil bhi unhe suna na sake
raat kaise kati bata na sake

aag aisi lagi dhua na utha
aag aisi lagi dhua na utha
aah tak bhi juba pe la na sake
haale dil bhi unhe suna na sake
haale dil bhi unhe suna na sake
raat kaise kati bata na sake

sari duniya ko chhod aaye magar
sari duniya ko chhod aaye magar
tere kadmo se uth ke ja na sake
haale dil bhi unhe suna na sake
haale dil bhi unhe suna na sake
raat kaise kati bata na sake

aise taake to kya kare koi
aise taake to kya kare koi
aaj tak hosh me hum aa na sake
haale dil bhi unhe suna na sake
haale dil bhi unhe suna na sake
raat kaise kati bata na sake

The night's passage, I cannot tell,
The night's passage, I cannot tell,
My heart's ache, I could not unveil,
My heart's ache, I could not unveil,
The night's passage, I cannot tell.

A fire blazed, yet no smoke rose,
A fire blazed, yet no smoke rose,
A sigh, even, from my lips, could not flow,
My heart's ache, I could not unveil,
My heart's ache, I could not unveil,
The night's passage, I cannot tell.

The whole world left behind, I did roam,
The whole world left behind, I did roam,
But from your footprints, I could not depart,
My heart's ache, I could not unveil,
My heart's ache, I could not unveil,
The night's passage, I cannot tell.

To gaze like that, what can one do?
To gaze like that, what can one do?
To senses, even now, I cannot renew,
My heart's ache, I could not unveil,
My heart's ache, I could not unveil,
The night's passage, I cannot tell.
