sham ho chali hai mere naina
teri raah takate hai, o hamnawah
main aur mera yeh sunapan
teri baate karate hain, o humnawah
aaoge tum kabhi dil ko yakin hai
chhute na chhutati teri ummid hai
yun jiye jane ki kaisi ye reet hai
ha jo bhi hai magar yahin to preet hai, dekho na
sham ho chali hai mere naina
teri raah takate hai, o hamnawa

tum dur ho to bhi lagati hai najdikiya
chup hai sabhi par bate karti hai khamoshiya
tum dur ho toh bhi lagati hai najdikiya
chup hai sabhi par baate karti hai khaamoshiya
aaoge tum kabhi dil ko yakin hai
chhute na chhutati teri ummid hai
yun jiye jaane ki kaisi yeh reet hai
haan jo bhi hai magar yahin to preet hai, dekho na
sham ho chali hai mere naina
teri raah takate hai, o hamnawa

ha ye jaruri nahi, jo paas hai wo sath hai
na ye jaruri hai ke jo sath hai wo paas hai
ha ye jaruri nahi, jo paas hai wo sath hai
na ye jaruri hai ke jo sath hai wo paas hai
aaoge tum kabhi dil ko yakin hai
chhute na chhutati teri ummid hai
yun jiye jane ki kaisi yeh reet hai
ha jo bhi hai magar yahi to preet hai, dekho na
sham ho chali hai mere naina
teri raah takate hai o hamnawa

The evening descends on my eyes,
Waiting your path, my companion.
I and this solitude of mine,
Speak only of you, oh my beloved.
That you will come, my heart believes,
Never falters, this hope of yours.
What a strange way this life unfolds,
Yet whatever is, it is love, behold!
The evening descends on my eyes,
Waiting your path, my companion.

Though distant, nearness I feel,
Silence surrounds, but whispers still reveal.

Never falters, this hope of yours.
What a strange way this life unfolds,
Yet whatever is, it is love, behold!
The evening descends on my eyes,
Waiting your path, my companion.

What is near need not mean together,
Nor does togetherness ensure nearness forever.
What is near need not mean together,
Nor does togetherness ensure nearness forever.
That you will come, my heart believes,
Never falters, this hope of yours.
What a strange way this life unfolds,
Yet whatever is, it is love, behold!
The evening descends on my eyes,
Waiting your path, my companion.
