aaj duniya nayi hai nazaare naye
raat khushi ki aayi
aaj duniya nayi hai nazaare naye
raat khushi ki aayi
seene mein umangen machali
hothon pe taraane aaye
seene mein umangen machali
hothon pe taraane aaye
ham jinake liye jeete the
aakhir vo zamaane aaye
unaki aashaaon ne roop dhaare naye
raat khushi ki aayi
aaj duniya nayi hai nazaare naye
raat khushi ki aayi
kiranon ke sehare bunati
raat aayi naseebonvaalii, ho
raat aayi naseebonvaali
kiranon ke sehare bunati
raat aayi naseebonvaalii, ho
raat aayi naseebonvaali
dharati pe ujaala phaila
ambar pe saji divaali
mere nainon mein chamake sitaare naye
raat khushi ki aayi
aaj duniya nayi hai nazaare naye
raat khushi ki aayi
chalate hue ek raahi ne
manzil ka ishaara paaya
chalate hue ek raahi ne
manzil ka ishaara paaya
majadhaar mein ek naiyya ne
maanjhi ka sahaara paaya
inake toofaan se ubhare kinaare naye
raat khushi ki aayi
aaj duniya nayi hai nazaare naye
raat khushi ki aayi
