Aaj Kii Raat Bahut Garm Havaa Chalatii Hai
Aaj Kii Raat Na Fut-Paath Pe Niind Aaegii
Sab Utho, Main Bii Uthuun, Tum Bhii Utho, Tum Bhii Utho
Koii Khidakii Isii Diivaar Mein Khul Jaaegii
Ye Zamiin Tab Bhii Nigal Lene Pe Aamaadaa Thii
Paanv Jab Tuutii Shaakhon Se Utaare Ham Ne
In Makaanon Ko Khabar Hai Na Makiinon Ko Khabar
Un Dinon Kii Jo Gufaaon Mein Guzaare Ham Ne
[Nigalanaa=to Swallow; Aamaadaa=prepared/ready]
[Makiin=resident; Gufaa=cave]
Haath Dhalate Gaye Saanche Mein To Thakate Kaise
Naqsh Ke Baad Naye Naqsh Nikhaare Ham Ne
Kii Ye Diivaar Buland, Aur Buland, Aur Buland
Baam-O-Dar Aur Zaraa, Aur Sanvaare Ham Ne
[Buland=high/lofty; Baam=terrace/roof; Dar=door]
Aandhiyaan Tod Liyaa Karatii Thiin Shamon Kii Lauen
Jad Diye Is Liye Bijalii Ke Sitaare Ham Ne
Ban Gayaa Qasr To Pahare Pe Koii Baith Gayaa
So Rahe Khaak Pe Ham Shorish-E-Taamiir Liye
[Lau=flame; Qasr=mansion; Paharaa=guard]
[Khaak=dust/earth; Shorish=chaos/tumult; Taamiir=construction]
Apanii Nas-Nas Mein Liye Mehanat-E-Paiham Kii Thakan
Band Aankhon Mein Isii Qasr Kii Tasviir Liye
Din Phighalataa Hai Isii Tarah Saron Par Ab Tak
Raat Aankhon Men Khatakatii Hai Syaah Tiir Liye
[Mehanat-E-Paiham=continuous Work/effort]
[Thakan=fatigue; Syaah=dark/black]
Aaj Kii Raat Bahut Garm Havaa Chalatii Hai
Aaj Kii Raat Na Fut-Paath Pe Niind Aayegii
Sab Utho Main Bii Uthuun Tum Bhii Utho Tum Bhii Utho
Koii Khidakii Isii Diivaar Men Khul Jaayegii
