subah hui din nikal raha hai
subah hui din nikal raha hai
subah hui din nikal raha hai
nadi ke tat par naha ke suraj
sunehre kapde badal raha hai
subah hui din nikal raha hai
subah hui din nikal raha hai
nadi ke tat par naha ke suraj
sunehre kapde badal raha hai
subah hui din nikal raha hai
subah hui din nikal raha hai

azaan masjid se aa rahi hai
to shankh mandir mein baj raha hai
ho vaju bhi karta hai koi baitha
tilak se matha bhi saj raha hai
nayi ummido ka ek dipak
sabhi ki aankhon mein jal raha hai
subah hui din nikal raha hai
subah hui din nikal raha hai

kali jhatakti hai haule haule
ke jaise dulhan naqaab khole
ho hawa bhi kuch gun gunah
tarane mausam ke gaa rahi hai
leeye umange nayi tarange
ye sara aalam machal raha hai
subah hui din nikal raha hai
subah hui din nikal raha hai
nadi ke tat par naha ke suraj
sunehre kapde badal raha hai
subah hui din nikal raha hai
subah hui din nikal raha hai.

The dawn arrives, the heart takes flight,
The dawn arrives, the heart takes flight,
The dawn arrives, the heart takes flight.
Upon the river's edge, the sun,
Having bathed, now dons its light,
A garment spun of purest gold,
The dawn arrives, the heart takes flight,
The dawn arrives, the heart takes flight.
Upon the river's edge, the sun,
Having bathed, now dons its light,
A garment spun of purest gold,
The dawn arrives, the heart takes flight,
The dawn arrives, the heart takes flight.

From mosques, the call to prayer ascends,
While conch shells echo, heaven-sent,
One performs ablutions, seated still,
Another, forehead graced, repent.
A lamp of hope, newly lit,
In every eye, a light is lent,
The dawn arrives, the heart takes flight,
The dawn arrives, the heart takes flight.

The petals shake, a gentle grace,
Like a veiled bride unveiling face,
The wind itself, with murmured sighs,
Sings melodies the seasons trace.
Embracing waves of fresh desire,
The world itself begins to sway,
The dawn arrives, the heart takes flight,
The dawn arrives, the heart takes flight.
Upon the river's edge, the sun,
Having bathed, now dons its light,
A garment spun of purest gold,
The dawn arrives, the heart takes flight,
The dawn arrives, the heart takes flight.
