sar jhuka ke kar salaam hai shaam shaandaar
aasmaan se aa giri hai shaam shaandaar

chak de andhera chaand jala de bulb bana ke
fikr na kariyo karna bhi kya hai bijli bacha ke
sar-e-aam pila khushi ke jaam shaandaar
aasmaan se aa giri ye shaam shaandaar

jazbaat ke chillar ko note bana ke
mehandi raat pe khulke luta
chingaariyon ko visphot bana ke
aiyyashi ke tu rocket chhuda

kaisa darr tu kar guzar ye kaam shaandaar
aasmaan se aa giri ye shaam shaandaar
ye shaam shaandaar ye shaam shaandaar

Bow your head, salute the glorious evening,
From the heavens, the magnificent dusk descends.

Embrace the dark,
Let the moon ignite, a bulb of pure light.
Worry not,
Why conserve, the fleeting electricity's flight?
In the open, share joy's grand, sparkling chalice,
From the heavens, this glorious evening's embrace.

Transform the coins of emotion to currency,
Spend freely on the henna-stained night's spree.
Make sparks explode in a fiery intensity,
Launch rockets of pleasure with ecstatic decree.
What fear? Embrace this, a deed so divine,
From the heavens, this glorious evening's design.
This glorious evening, this glorious design.
