aap ki yaad aati rahi raat bhar
chashm-e-nam muskuraati rahi raat bhar
aap ki yaad aati rahi

raat bhar dard ki shamaa jalati rahi
gam ki lau tharatharaati rahi raat bhar

baansuri ki surili suhaani sadaa
yaad ban banake aati rahi raat bhar

yaad ki chaand dil me utarati rahi
chaandani dagamagaati rahi raat bhar

koi divaanaa galiyo me phirataa rahaa
koi aavaaz aati rahi raat bhar

Your memory, a vigil through the night,
My tear-filled eyes, a smile held tight,
Your memory, a constant, tender plea.
Through the night, the pain, a candle's fire,
Grief's flickering flame, a trembling pyre,
Through the night, for only memory.

The flute's sweet music, a whispered grace,
Memories woven, time and space,
Came to me, throughout the night.
Memory's moon descended in my heart,
Moonlight faltered, tore itself apart,
Through the night, a moonlit flight.

A madman wandered, lost in the street,
A voice called out, both bitter and sweet,
A haunting echo, through the night.
