Khamosh Raat

Khamosh Raat Sehmi Hawaa 

A silent night, a fearsome wind;

Tanha Tanha Dil Apna
Tanha Tanha Dil Apna 

My heart is lonely

Aur Door Kahin, Roshan Hua Ek Chehra Ek Chehra, Ek Chehra 

And then, somewhere far away, a light dawned: a face, a face, a face

Ye Sach Hai Ya Sapna 

Is this truth, or a dream?

Ye Sach Hai Ya Sapna
Ye Sach Hai Ya Sapna

Khamosh Raat Sehmi Hawaa
Tanha Tanha Dil Apna
Tanha Tanha Dil Apna
Aur Door Kahin, Roshan Hua Ek Chehraa
Ek Chehraa, Ek Chehraa

Ye Sach Hai Ya Sapna
Ye Sach Hai Ya Sapna

Jhuki Jhuki Palkein Jab Uthi 

When downcast eyelids rose,

Nainon Mein Diye Madham Madham 

in those eyes were dim lamps

Adh Khule Hothon Se Hansee 

On slightly parted lips was a smile,

Jhaank Rahi Madham Madham 

just barely showing through

Kaise Kahan Phir Ho Gayee 

How and where

Uski Charee Madham Madham 

did her image then become indistinct?

Pal Pal Uthti Hasratein 

The longings stirred by each moment

Hone Lagi Madham Madham 

became indistinct

Aur Door Kahin, Roshan Hua Ek Chehraa Ek Chehraa, Ek Chehraa 

And then, somewhere far away, a light dawned: a face, a face, a face

Sooraj Tha Pe Noor Sa 

The sun was lightless,

Uski Tanak Madham Madham 

its brilliance dimming

Chaand Bhi Sa Bujha Bujha 

The moon was also extinguished;

Taare Bhi The Madham Madham 

the stars faded

Jugnu Dilasa Dene Lagey 

The fireflies tried to encourage them

Nanhi Si Jaan Madham Madham 

Their tiny spirits grew dim

Shamaa Bhi Thak Haar Ke 

The lamp, defeated, grew weary

Hone Lagee Madham Madham 

and began to flicker

Aur Door Kahin, Roshan Hua Ek Chehraa
Ek Chehraa, Ek Chehraa

Jeene Ka Tha Hum Mein Dam 

I had the courage to live,

Par Nahin Tha Koi Humdam 

but I had no life companion

Khushiyoon Ki Thi Justajoo 

I searched for happiness,

Mil Rahe Thay Bas Gham Hi Gham 

but found only grief upon grief

Shuru Mein Is Duniya Ke Bhi 

Amidst the clamor of the world,

Khamoshi Thi Aur Ek Thay Hum 

there was silence, and I was alone

Rahein Sabhi Thi Sooni Sooni 

All the roads were empty

Uth Rahe Thay Kadam Tham Tham 

I walked down them slowly, slowly

Aur Door Kahin, Roshan Hua Ek Chehraa
Ek Chehraa, Ek Chehraa
Ye Sach Hai Ya Sapna
Ye Sach Hai Ya Sapna

Khamosh Raat Sehmi Hawaa
Tanha Tanha Dil Apna
Tanha Tanha Dil Apna
Aur Door Kahin, Roshan Hua Ek Chehraa
Ek Chehraa, Ek Chehraa
Ye Sach Hai Ya Sapna
Ye Sach Hai Ya Sapna
