shaam bhigi bhigi badan jal raha hai
shaam bhigi bhigi badan jal raha hai
honto ki iltaajayi aaja tujhe bulaaye
teri berukhi se dil par ek tir chal raha hai
shaam bhigi bhigi badan jal raha hai

ghabaraake aarju bhi aankhon mein aa rahi hai
ghabaraake aarju bhi aankhon mein aa rahi hai
aa rahi hai aa rahi hai
badali udaasiyon ki ghir ghir ke chha rahi hai
samajha chuke the dil ko ab phir machal raha hai
shaam bhigi bhigi badan jal raha hai

samajho na kyun khade ho yun dur ajnabi se
samajho na kyun khade ho yun dur ajnabi se
ajanabi se ajanabi se
mushkil se ye ghadi to mangi thi jindagi se
afsos ye bhi lamaha aankhein badal raha hai
shaam bhigi bhigi badan jal raha hai

Evening, drenched, the body ablaze,
Evening, drenched, the body ablaze,
Lips, a plea, beckoning, come, I call,
From your indifference, an arrow tears my heart,
Evening, drenched, the body ablaze.

Fear-struck desire blooms within my eyes,
Fear-struck desire blooms within my eyes,
It comes, it comes,
The cloud of sorrow descends, falling, shrouding,
I had soothed my heart, now it aches again,
Evening, drenched, the body ablaze.

Why do you stand so distant, stranger?
Why do you stand so distant, stranger?
Stranger, stranger,
This moment, so hard, I begged from life,
Alas, even this instant, my eyes betray,
Evening, drenched, the body ablaze.
