aaja aaja
raat dhali raat dhali, jaan chali jaan chali
bekabar bekabar mere dilaruba mere dilaruba
raat dhali, jaan chali
bkabar, hai kidhar, mere dilaruba
(vo teri meri baat sanam yaad hai) - 2
(vo thandi thandi raat mujhe sanam yaad hai) - 2
suuni padi suuni padi meri gali meri gali
bekabar, bekabar hai kidhar, mere dilaruba
raat dhali, jaan chali
bekabar, hai kidhar, mere dilaruba
(phike pade hain saare nazaarein) - 2
duub chale hain raat ke taare
(dard-e-jigar kahaan tujhako pukaare) - 2
suukh gayi, dil ki kali
bekabar hai kidhar mere dilaruba
aaja aaja
(tej bahate hue majhadaar ke paani se na dar) - 2
naav ban jaayegi tere liye har ek bhanvar
(dil pe rakh haath, muhabbat ke sahaare aajaa) - 2
aaja aaja aaja
Raat Dhali Jaan Chali
