kaha the raat ko, hamse zara nigaah mile
kaha the raat ko, hamse zara nigaah mile
talaash me ho ke, jhutha koi gawah mile
kaha the raat ko

ye maze ki ladaai, ye hai maze ka milaap
ye maze ki ladaai, ye hai maze ka milaap
ke tujhse aankh ladi, aur phir nigaah mile
ke tujhse aankh ladi, aur phir nigaah mile
kaha the raat ko

tera gurur samaya hai, is kadar dil me
tera gurur samaya hai, is kadar dil me
nigaah bhi milau jo, baadshah mile
nigaah bhi milau jo, baadshah mile
kaha the raat ko

masar usme hai ke, milne se koi milta hai
masar usme hai ke, milne se koi milta hai
mile to aankh mile dil, mile nigaah mile
mile to aankh mile dil, mile nigaah mile
kaha the raat ko, hamse zara nigaah mile
talaash me ho ke, jhutha koi gawah mile
kaha the raat ko

Where did the night keep you, when our eyes sought?
Where did the night keep you, when our eyes sought?
Were you searching for a false witness, to be caught?
Where were you that night?

This delightful battle, this sweet embrace,
This delightful battle, this sweet embrace,
When my eyes met yours, and then our eyes met face,
When my eyes met yours, and then our eyes met face,
Where were you that night?

Your pride has steeped itself, in my heart's core,
Your pride has steeped itself, in my heart's core,
That even if I gaze, I find a king at the door,
That even if I gaze, I find a king at the door,
Where were you that night?

Lost in the thought, that in meeting, one finds,
Lost in the thought, that in meeting, one finds,
Eyes meet, hearts meet, eyes find; minds unwind,
Eyes meet, hearts meet, eyes find; minds unwind,
Where did the night keep you, when our eyes sought?
Were you searching for a false witness, to be caught?
Where were you that night?
