Ye raat keisi hein, jo subah ki tarha dikhti hein
Ye chand keisa jo suraj ki tarha chamakta hein
Ye tanhaee keisi jo mehfil si sajti hein
Ye khamoshi keisi jo jhankaar si goonjti hein
Har zarre ko tafseel se dekha
Har aahat ko mehsoos kiya
Har panne to ulat kar dekha
Har ehsaas mein sama kar dekha
Ye jazbaaton ka khel hein
Ya abhi hosh sambhala meine
Aaj raat raat nahin aayegi lagta hein
Aaaj raat ankhein band ho, naamumkin hein
Ye raat keisi hein, jo subah ki tarha dikhti hein
Ye chand keisa jo suraj ki tarha chamakta hein
Sach much ki subah ka intezaar karoun
Ya aaj raat se behtar koi sawera nahin
Why does this night look like the day
Why does this moon glow like the sun
Why is this loneliness adorned like a gathering
Why is the silence jingling like beats
I scrutinized every atom
I sensed every sound
I turned every page
I delved into every emotion
Is this a game of emotions
Or have I just reached consciousness
It seems this night night won’t come
That I close my eyes this night is impossible
Why does this night look like the day
Why does this moon glow like the sun
Should I wait for the real morning
Or there won't be any dawn like this night
