aaj ki rat hai bas jalwa dikhane ke liye
aaj ki rat nahi ruth ke jane ke liye
aaj ki rat hai bas jalwa dikhane ke liye
aaj ki rat nahi ruth ke jane ke liye
aaj ki rat

apne hatho se ye ghunghat to utha lene do
pyas aankho ki meri jan bujha lene do
aaj tum laj ke jevar ko utaro dilbar
aag menhadi ki jara dil me laga lene do
aaj ki rat hai pahalu me samane ke liye
aaj ki rat hai pahalu me samane ke liye
aaj ki rat nahi ruth ke jane ke liye
aaj ki rat

kali julfe mere kandhe pe bikhar jane do
tir kajal ke mere dil me utar jane do
aaj mehaki huyi tanhayi yahi kehati hai
jo mere dil pe gujarti hai gujar jane do
aaj ki rat hai baaho me uthane ke liye
aaj ki rat hai baaho me uthane ke liye
aaj ki rat nahi ruth ke jane ke liye
aaj ki rat hai bas jalawa dikhane ke liye
aaj ki rat

Tonight, a canvas for the light to spill,
Tonight, not for farewell, a bitter thrill.
Tonight, a dance of beauty to unfold,
Tonight, not for a story left untold.
Tonight.

Let your own hands unveil the veiled grace,
Quench the thirst that burns within my gaze.
Shed the jewels of shame, my dearest one,
Let the henna's fire in my heart be spun.
Tonight, for closeness, to forever reside,
Tonight, for closeness, where our souls collide.
Tonight, not for parting, love to cast aside.
Tonight.

Let your dark tresses cascade and fall,
Upon my shoulder, answering love's call.
Let the kohl's arrow pierce my very core,
Let silence whisper what my heart implores.
Tonight, the lonely fragrance softly sighs,
Let all that haunts, within my spirit rise.
Tonight, for lifting, in embrace to keep,
Tonight, for lifting, where our secrets sleep.
Tonight, not for parting, secrets to weep.
Tonight, a canvas for the light to keep.
Tonight.
