dildara dil nashi mulakate teri baate afri
dildara nazmi ye nigahe ye adaye afri
aadhi aadhi raato ke saye me dil kho na jaye
aadhi aadhi raato ke saye me kuch ho na jaye
dildara dil nashi mulakate teri baate afri
dildara nazmi ye nigahe ye adaye afri
aadhi aadhi raato ke saye me dil kho na jaye
aadhi aadhi raato ke saye me kuch ho na jaye

baaho ke ghere me jab koi aa jaata hai
pyaase khayalo me jaadu sa chha jaata hai
wo khamoshiya kah rahi badguma hai shama
mere yara hamnashi ye ishare ye najare afri
aadhi aadhi raato ke saye me dil kho na jaye
aadhi aadhi raato ke saye me kuch ho na jaye

koi diwana hai koi hai pagal yaha
alam bhi katil hai mushkil me hai sabki ja
betaabiya badh rahi aa gaye ham ye kaha
dildara mahzabi ishk mera husn tera afri
aadhi aadhi raato ke saye me dil kho na jaye
aadhi aadhi raato ke saye me kuch ho na jaye

Beloved, your presence, intoxicating, your words, a wonder,
Beloved, your eyes, so graceful, these gestures, a marvel.
In shadows of half-lit nights, let not the heart be lost,
In shadows of half-lit nights, let no harm be crossed.
Beloved, your presence, intoxicating, your words, a wonder,
Beloved, your eyes, so graceful, these gestures, a marvel.
In shadows of half-lit nights, let not the heart be lost,
In shadows of half-lit nights, let no harm be crossed.

When held within embrace,
A spell descends on thirsty thought's expanse,
The silences whisper, suspicion's flame,
My friend, my confidante, these signs, these scenes, a wonder.
In shadows of half-lit nights, let not the heart be lost,
In shadows of half-lit nights, let no harm be crossed.

A lover mad, another lost to madness's sway,
The world, a killer, where all lives are in pain's way.
Restlessness grows, where have we come to stray?
Beloved, my beauty, love, my art, your grace, a wonder.
In shadows of half-lit nights, let not the heart be lost,
In shadows of half-lit nights, let no harm be crossed.
