rat gayi o rat gayi fir din aata hai
isi tarah aate jate hi
ye sara jiwan jata hai
rat gayi o rat gayi
rat gayi o rat gayi fir din aata hai
isi tarah aate jate hi
ye sara jiwan jata hai
rat gayi, o rat gayi

kitna bada safar dunia ka
ek rota ek muskata hai
ek rota ek muskata hai
kadam kadam rakhta hi raahi
kitna dur chala jata hai
ek ek tinke tinke se
ek ek tinke tinke se
panchi ka ghar ban jata hai
rat gayi o rat gayi

kabhi andhera kabhi ujala
kabhi andhera kabhi ujala
phul khila fir murjhata hai
khela bachpan hasi jawani
khela bachpan hasi jawani
magar budhapa tadpata hai
magar budhapa tadpata hai
khela bachpan hasi jawani
magar budhapa tadpata hai
sukh dukh ka pahiya chalta hai
wahi nasiba kahlata hai
rat gayi o rat gayi
rat gayi fir din aata hai
isi tarah aate jaye hi
ye sara jiwan jata hai
o rat gayi, rat gayi

Night departs, oh night departs, then day ascends,
In this cycle of coming and going,
All of life transcends.
Night departs, oh night departs.

The world's journey, a vast expanse,
One weeps, another smiles in dance.
Each step the traveler takes,
How far he now makes!

From each fragile, fallen straw,
A bird's nest finds its law.
Night departs, oh night departs.

Sometimes darkness, sometimes light,
A flower blooms, then fades from sight.
Childhood's games, laughter's prime,
Then age arrives, a cruel paradigm.
Childhood's games, laughter's prime,
Then age arrives, a cruel paradigm.
Joy and sorrow, a wheel that turns,
Fate's decree, the spirit yearns.
Night departs, oh night departs,
Night departs, then day ascends,
In this cycle of coming and going,
All of life transcends.
Oh, night departs, night departs.
