gazal ke saaz uthao badi udas hai raat
gazal ke saaz uthao badi udas hai raat
faya me neer sunao badi udas hai raat
gazal ke saaz uthao badi udas hai raat

isi khander me kahi kuch diye hain tute huye
isi khander me kahi kuch diye hain tute huye
inhi se kaam chalao badi uadas hai raat
gazal ke saaz uthao badi udas hai raat

jo ho sake to idhar ki bhi raah bhul pado
jo ho sake to idhar ki bhi raah bhul pado
sanam kado ki hawao badi udas hai raat
gazal ke saaz uthao badi udas hai raat

kahe na tuhse to fir aur jake kisse kahe
kahe na tuhse to fir aur jake kisse kahe
siya hai gulful sayo badi udas hai raat
gazal ke saaz uthao badi udas hai raat
faya me neer sunao badi udas hai raat
gazal ke saaz uthao badi udas hai raat

Lift the ghazal's strings, the night is heavy-hearted,
Lift the ghazal's strings, the night is heavy-hearted,
In the melody of tears, let the tale be imparted, the night is heavy-hearted.
Lift the ghazal's strings, the night is heavy-hearted.

In these ruins, scattered, lie broken lamps,
In these ruins, scattered, lie broken lamps,
With them, make do, the night is heavy-hearted.
Lift the ghazal's strings, the night is heavy-hearted.

If you can, stray even here, lose your way,
If you can, stray even here, lose your way,
In the shrines of love, the winds are weary, the night is heavy-hearted.
Lift the ghazal's strings, the night is heavy-hearted.

If not to you, then to whom can we confess,
If not to you, then to whom can we confess,
Darkness consumes the blossoms, shadows grieve, the night is heavy-hearted.
Lift the ghazal's strings, the night is heavy-hearted,
In the melody of tears, let the tale be imparted, the night is heavy-hearted.
Lift the ghazal's strings, the night is heavy-hearted.
