tharthara uthti hai khamosh
faza raat gaye
tharthara uthti hai khamosh
faza raat gaye
kaun deta hai ye galiyo
me sada raat gaye
kaun deta hai ye galiyo
me sada raat gaye
tharthara uthti hai

chubh ke reh jati hai seene
me badan ki khushbu
chubh ke reh jati hai seene
me badan ki khushbu
kaun deta hai koi bandey
kabaraat gaye
kaun deta hai koi bandey
kabaraat gaye
tharthara uthti hai

din ke hangamo me kya
koi kasak ho meshush
din ke hangamo me kya
koi kasak ho meshush
dil ki har chot ka
chalta hai pata raat gaye
dil ki har chot ka
chalta hai pata raat gaye
tharthara uthti hai

bhigi bhigi huyi mausam ki hawao pe na ja
bhigi bhigi huyi mausam ki hawao pe na ja
dil pe barsegi shararo ki ghata raat gaye
dil pe barsegi shararo ki ghata raat gaye
tharthara uthti hai

aao ham jism ki shammo se ujala kar le
aao ham jism ki shammo se ujala kar le
chand niklega bhi to jara raat gaye
chand niklega bhi to jara raat gaye
tharthara uthti hai khamosh
faza raat gaye
tharthara uthti hai

The silent air, it shivers, late at night,
The silent air, it shivers, late at night,
Who calls out in these streets, a voice unheard,
Who calls out in these streets, late into the night?
The silent air, it shivers.

A body's scent, it lingers, stabs the heart,
A body's scent, it lingers, stabs the heart,
Who's there to mourn, for one so soon departed?
Who's there to mourn, late into the night?
The silent air, it shivers.

In day's loud clamor, does a longing rise?
In day's loud clamor, does a longing rise?
Each wound within the heart, then finds its voice,
Each wound within the heart, late into the night.
The silent air, it shivers.

Do not trust the breezes, weeping, wet, and frail,
Do not trust the breezes, weeping, wet, and frail,
The heart will know a storm of sparks and fire,
The heart will know a storm, late into the night.
The silent air, it shivers.

Let us light the lamps within our flesh,
Let us light the lamps within our flesh,
The moon may rise, but only late at last,
The moon may rise, late into the night.
The silent air, it shivers, late at night,
The silent air, it shivers.
