raat ko jane kya hota hai
raat ko jane kya hota hai
hansne lagti hai
raat ko jane kya hota hai
hansne lagti hai
tin ki chadar par jab barish
bajne lagti hai
bajne lagti hai
raat ko jane kya hota hai
hansne lagti hai
hansne lagti hai

o aankho se jab maile maile aansu girte hai
aankho se jab maile maile aansu girte hai
aansu girte hai
mere kacche ghar ki mitti
o mere kacche ghar ki mitti
girne lagti hai, galne lagti hai
raat ko jane kya hota hai
hansne lagti hai
tin ki chadar par jab barish
bajne lagti hai
bajne lagti hai
raat ko jane kya hota hai
hansne lagti hai
hansne lagti hai
hansne lagti hai

What becomes of the night, I wonder,
What becomes of the night?
It begins to laugh,
The night begins to laugh.

When rain upon tin sheets,
Begins to play,
Begins to play.
What becomes of the night, I wonder,
It begins to laugh,
It begins to laugh.

Oh, when from the eyes, soiled tears fall,
From the eyes, when soiled tears fall,
Tears fall.
The mud of my frail home,
Oh, the mud of my frail home,
Begins to crumble, begins to dissolve.
What becomes of the night, I wonder,
It begins to laugh,
When rain upon tin sheets,
Begins to play,
Begins to play.
What becomes of the night, I wonder,
It begins to laugh,
It begins to laugh,
It begins to laugh.
