raat ki kati patang lut le aa re saiya
dabe dabe se pairo se paddle maaro saiya
dhire dhire aao na, dhire aao naa
dhire dhire aao na, dhire aao naa

bade zor se aaj phate badal hai saiya
bade zor se aaj phate badal hai saiya
dhire dhire barso na, dhire barso na
dhire dhire barso na, dhire barso na

tez dhaar manjha kaate meri dor
tez dhaar manjha kaate meri dor
badi dur main bhagu, kyu khinche apni or
dhire dhire barso na, dhire barso na
dhire dhire barso na, dhire barso na

ulajh gayi hu guchhe me sulajh gayi
ulajh gayi hu guchhe me sulajh gayi
dhilan ki laangar se thithoor gayi hu
aadhi raat ka aagaz yaha udaao na saiya
dhire dhire barso na, dhire barso na
dhire dhire garjo na, dhire garjo na

My kite, fallen in the night, gather it, Love,
Tiptoeing softly, through the world, tread, Love.
Gently you come, oh gently you come,
Gently you come, oh gently you come.

The clouds burst open with such force, Love,
The clouds burst open with such force, Love.
Slowly descend, oh slowly descend,
Slowly descend, oh slowly descend.

The sharp string cuts, my thread it severs,
The sharp string cuts, my thread it severs.
Far I flee, yet you draw me near.
Slowly descend, oh slowly descend,
Slowly descend, oh slowly descend.

Entangled I am, then unraveled,
Entangled I am, then unraveled.
Shivering, anchored by the loose thread.
At midnight's start, don't ignite the sky, Love.
Slowly descend, oh slowly descend,
Slowly roar not, oh slowly roar not.
