surmai raat dhalati jaati hai
ruh gam se pighalti jaati hai
teri zulfon se pyaar kaun kare
ab tera intezar kaun kare

tumko apna bana ke dekh liya
tumko apna bana ke dekh liya
ek baar aazma ke dekh liyaa
baar baar aitbaar kaun kare
baar baar aitbaar kaun kare
ab tera intezar kaun kare

ae dil e zaar saugwar na ho
ae dil e zaar saugwar na ho
unki chaahat mein beqaraar na ho
haaye
badnaseebon se pyaar kaun kare
badnaseebon se pyaar kaun kare
ab tera intezar kaun kare

The twilight night descends its veil,
The soul dissolves, a mournful trail.
Who now would braid your silken hair?
Who now would wait, despairing there?

To claim you mine, I sought to seize,
To claim you mine, I did appease.
I tested once, my heart's deep plea.
Who'd trust again, eternally?
Who'd trust again, eternally?
Who now would wait, despairing there?

Oh, wounded heart, no longer weep,
Oh, wounded heart, your vigil keep.
Let not desire your soul consume.
Alas, with shadows, who would bloom?
Alas, with shadows, who would bloom?
Who now would wait, despairing there?
