jab jaag uthe araman to kaise nind aaye
jab jaag uthe araman to kaise nind aaye
ho ghar me hasi mehaman to kaise nind aaye, nind aaye
jab jaag uthe araman to kaise nind aaye

ye raat ye dil ki dhadakan ye badhati hui betaabi
ik jaam ki khaatir jaise bechain ho koi sharaabi
ye raat ye dil ki dhadakan ye badhati hui betaabi
ik jaam ki khaatir jaise bechain ho koi sharaabi
sholo me giri ho jaan to kaise nind aaye
jab jaag uthe araman to kaise nind aaye

nazdik bahut hai manzil phir bhi hai gazab ki duri
ai dil ye tu hi batla de ye kaun si hai majburi
nazdik bahut hai manzil phir bhi hai gazab ki duri
ai dil ye tu hi batla de ye kaun si hai majburi
jab soch me ho inasan to kaise nind aaye
ho ghar me hasi mehaman to kaise nind aaye, nind aaye
jab jaag uthe araman to kaise nind aaye

When desires awaken, how can sleep descend?
When desires awaken, how can sleep descend?
If a beautiful guest graces the home, how can sleep descend, sleep descend?
When desires awaken, how can sleep descend?

This night, the heart's rhythm, this rising unrest,
Like a drunkard, yearning for a single drink,
This night, the heart's rhythm, this rising unrest,
Like a drunkard, yearning for a single drink,
If life falls in the flames, how can sleep descend?
When desires awaken, how can sleep descend?

The destination is near, yet an impossible distance,
Oh heart, tell me, what is this compulsion?
The destination is near, yet an impossible distance,
Oh heart, tell me, what is this compulsion?
When a human is lost in thought, how can sleep descend?
If a beautiful guest graces the home, how can sleep descend, sleep descend?
When desires awaken, how can sleep descend?
