aai thi rat josh-e-tamanna liye hue
jati hai ab luti hui duniya liye hue

sitaro ki mahafil saji tum na aaye
sitaro ki mahafil saji tum na aaye
saji tum na aaye
tumhe hamane aavaz di sajana
tumhe hamane aavaz di tum na aaye
haaye tum na aaye, haye tum na aaye

bichhadane ko ab rat ka karva hai
haaye karavan hai
hua chand benur, chup asaman hai
chup asaman hai
chali ruthakar chandani, tum na aaye
haaye tum na aaye, haye tum na aaye

abhi jag uthe hai ummido ke tare
ummido ke tare
chale ao pyare muhabbat pukare
muhabbat pukare
baharo ko nind aa gai, tum na aaye
haaye tum na aaye, haye tum na aaye

Night arrived, ablaze with yearning's fire,
Now departs, a world plundered, taking desire.
Stars in a grand assembly, you were not there,
Stars in a grand assembly, you were not there,
Assembled, yet you were not there.
We called your name, beloved, we pleaded,
We called your name, yet you were not heeded.
Alas, you were not there, alas, you were not there.

The night's embrace prepares to sever,
Alas, the caravan, forever.
The moon, now pale, the heavens hushed in plight,
The heavens hushed in the night.
The moonlight departs in a sulk, you were not there,
Alas, you were not there, alas, you were not there.

The stars of hope have just begun to gleam,
The stars of hope, a vivid dream.
Come, my love, love implores your soul,
Love implores, to make us whole.
The springs have fallen to sleep, you were not there,
Alas, you were not there, alas, you were not there.
