suramai raat hai sitaare hai
aaj dono jahaan hamaare hai
subah kaa itezaar kaun kare
subah kaa itezaar kaun kare
subah kaa itezaar kaun kare

phir yah rut yah samaa mile na mile
phir yah rut yah samaa mile na mile
aarzu kaa chaman khile na khile
vaqt kaa aitabaar kaun kare
subah kaa itezaar kaun kare

le bhi lo ham ko apani baaho me
le bhi lo ham ko apani baaho me
ruh bechain hai nigaaho me
iltejaa baar baar kaun kare
iltejaa baar baar kaun kare
subah kaa itezaar kaun kare
subah kaa itezaar kaun kare

nayi raat dhalati jaati hai
ruh gam se pighalati jaati hai

teri zulfo se pyaar kaun kare
ab teraa itazaar kaun kare

tum ko apanaa banaa ke dekh liyaa
ek baar aazamaa ke dekh liyaa
baar baar aitabaar kaun kare
ab teraa itazaar

ai dil-e-zaar sogavaar na ho
unaki chaahat me beqaraar na ho
haay, badanasibo se pyaar kaun kare
ab teraa itazaar

Night, a serenade, stars alight,
Two worlds entwined, embraced in night.
Who yearns for dawn, the fading light?
Who yearns for dawn, and its fleeting flight?
This season's grace, this moment's hold,
May vanish, a story untold.
The garden of hope, its blooms may cease,
Who trusts in time, and its slow release?
Who yearns for dawn, and its fading peace?

Embrace us now, within your hold,
A restless soul, a story told
Within your gaze, a whispered plea,
Who begs for more, eternally?
Who yearns for dawn, its fading glee?
Who yearns for dawn, and what will be?
The new night weeps, its shadows fall,
The soul dissolves, answering the call.
Who'd seek your tresses, their silken art?
Who'd wait for you, to break their heart?

To call you mine, I've played the game,
Once I tested, felt the flame.
Who'd trust again, the fickle tide?
Who waits for you, with naught inside?
O wounded heart, let sorrow cease,
Don't yearn for them, and their false peace.
Alas, who'd love, so ill-starred and bound?
Who waits for you, with no love found?
