kali ghata chayi prem rut aayi
aayi aayi aayi aayi teri yad aayi
kali ghata chayi prem rut aayi
aayi aayi aayi aayi teri yad aayi
tujhe dhunde mere nain
nahi nind nahi chain
kali ghata chayi prem rut aayi
aayi aayi aayi aayi teri yad aayi

yuhi nahi chali aayi bahare
phul yuhi nahi khile
yuhi nahi chali aayi bahare
phul yuhi nahi khile
kuch to hai karan
itne yugo se do premi nahi mile
chota sa jiwan lambi judai
kali ghata chayi prem rut aayi
aayi aayi aayi aayi teri yad aayi

Dark clouds descend, love's season nears,
Arrived, arrived, your memory appears.
Dark clouds descend, love's season nears,
Arrived, arrived, your memory appears.
My eyes seek you,
No sleep, no peace, accrue.
Dark clouds descend, love's season nears,
Arrived, arrived, your memory appears.

Not without reason, springs arrive,
Flowers bloom, they thrive.
Not without reason, springs arrive,
Flowers bloom, they thrive.
There is a cause, a hidden plea,
For lovers separated eternally.
A small life, a long farewell,
Dark clouds descend, love's season fell,
Arrived, arrived, your memory appears.
