yaas ke dar pe jhukaa jaataa hai sar aaj ki raat
yaas ke dar pe jhukaa jaataa hai sar aaj ki raat
nind kyaa maut na aayegi idhar aaj ki raat

ishq ki god me hai husn kaa sar aaj ki raat
chaand se kah do
chaand se kah do ke dekhe na idhar aaj ki raat
dekhe na idhar aaj ki raat
chaand se kah do

bam-o-dar jaise simatate se nazar aate hai
bam-o-dar jaise simatate se nazar aate hai
kabr se tang huaa jaataa hai ghar aaj ki raat

tum jab aaye ho tab aayaa hai bahaaro kaa payaam
tum jab aaye ho tab aayaa hai bahaaro kaa payaam
rashq-e-jannat nazar aane lagaa ghar aaj ki raat
chaand se kah do, chaand se kah do

kitai viraan hai sunsaan hai duniyaa meri
kitai viraan hai sunsaan hai duniyaa meri
dil ki dhadakan se bhi lagne lagaa dar aaj ki raat
dil ki dhadakan se bhi lagne lagaa dar aaj ki raat

dil-e-betaab machaltaa hai machal jaane de
dil-e-betaab machaltaa hai machal jaane de
aaj ki raat hamaari hai na dar aaj ki raat
aaj ki raat hamaari hai na dar
ho na dar aaj ki raat
chaand se kah do
chaand se kah do ke dekhe na idhar aaj ki raat
dekhe na idhar aaj ki raat chaand se kah do

dil-e-naakaam ye aalam teri maayusi kaa
dil-e-naakaam ye aalam teri maayusi kaa
pher li jaise khudaa ne bhi nazar aaj ki raat
pher li jaise khudaa ne bhi nazar aaj ki raat
yaas ke dar pe jhukaa jaataa hai sar aaj ki raat

The threshold of despair, where heads now bow tonight,
The threshold of despair, where heads now bow tonight,
Is sleep or death that comes? Neither, this very night.

In love's embrace, beauty finds its head tonight,
Tell the moon,
Tell the moon to veil its gaze tonight,
To veil its gaze tonight,
Tell the moon.

Walls and doors appear to shrink and hide from view,
Walls and doors appear to shrink and hide from view,
The grave itself grows cramped, this home, tonight, anew.

When you arrive, the message of spring, it then appears,
When you arrive, the message of spring, it then appears,
The envy of paradise, this house, before our eyes tonight,
Tell the moon, tell the moon.

How desolate, how silent is this world of mine,
How desolate, how silent is this world of mine,
The heart's own beat begins to frighten, this very night,
The heart's own beat begins to frighten, this very night.

Let the restless heart now thrash, let it surge and sway,
Let the restless heart now thrash, let it surge and sway,
Tonight is ours, fear not, not today,
Tonight is ours, fear not,
Oh, fear not, tonight,
Tell the moon,
Tell the moon to veil its gaze tonight,
To veil its gaze tonight, Tell the moon.

O heart, defeated, this the state of your despair,
O heart, defeated, this the state of your despair,
As if God himself has turned his face away tonight,
As if God himself has turned his face away tonight,
The threshold of despair, where heads now bow tonight.
