Chup galiyan band darwaje

Adhi raat aur mein,

Sard hawa ke jhonke lamba rasta

Adhi raat aur mein,

Piche sath gujarne wale mausam ki sadayen

Samne hai ek dard ka sehra

Adhi raat aur mein,

Beete samay ki jheel pe baithe kab se hum

dekh rahe hain chehra apna

Adhi raat aur mein,

kitne dard sahe aur jane kitni baar mare

fir bhi dono ab tak zinda

Adhi raat aur mein…
