kal ki raat giri thi shabnam
kal ki raat giri thi shabnam
kal ki raat giri thi shabnam
haule haule kaliyo ke band
hontho par barsi thi shabnam
kal ki raat giri thi shabnam
kal ki raat giri thi shabnam
haule haule kaliyo ke band
hontho par barsi thi shabnam
kal ki raat giri thi shabnam

phulo ke rukhsaro se rukhsar milakar
phulo ke rukhsaro se rukhsar milakar
neeli raat ki chunri ke saaye me shabnam
pariyo ke afsano ke par khol rahe the
khol rahe the, khol rahe the
kal ki raat giri thi shabnam
kal ki raat giri thi shabnam

dil ki maddham maddham hulchal me
do ruhe tair rahi thi
dil ki maddham maddham hulchal me
do ruhe tair rahi thi
jaise apne najuk pankho par
aakash ko taul rahi ho
taul rahi ho, taul rahi ho
kal ki raat giri thi shabnam
kal ki raat giri thi shabnam
kal ki raat badi ujli thi
kal ki raat tere sang gujri
kal ki raat tere sang gujri
kal ki raat tere sang gujri

Last night, the dew descended,
Last night, the dew descended,
Last night, the dew descended,
Softly, on the buds tightly closed,
On the lips of flowers, the dew descended.
Last night, the dew descended,
Last night, the dew descended,
Softly, on the buds tightly closed,
On the lips of flowers, the dew descended.
Last night, the dew descended.

Cheeks of blossoms brushed against cheeks,
Cheeks of blossoms brushed against cheeks,
In the shadow of the blue night's veil, the dew fell.
Fairy tales unfurled their wings,
Unfurled them, unfurled them.
Last night, the dew descended,
Last night, the dew descended.

In the heart's gentle, gentle stir,
Two souls were adrift,
In the heart's gentle, gentle stir,
Two souls were adrift,
As if, on delicate wings,
They weighed the sky,
Weighed it, weighed it.
Last night, the dew descended,
Last night, the dew descended.
Last night was so luminous,
Last night, spent with you,
Last night, spent with you,
Last night, spent with you.
