(Raaton raat
(At night if a star
Chand ya sitara koi
Or the moon
Gire to utha lena
falls down, pick it up
O suniyon re
Oh listen
The star would be sparkling
Chand Sharmila hoga
The moon will be bashful
Nath mein laga lena) x.2
Wear it as if it were a nose ring) x.2

Zara si saawari hai woh
She’s a little dusky
Zara si Baawari hai woh
She’s a little naive
Woh surme ki tarah meri
Like kohl
Aankhon mein hi rehti hai
She lives in my eyes
-----------------
Subah ke khawab se udaai hai
She’s like a morning dream
Palkon ke neeche chupaai hai
She hides in my eyes
Mano na mano tum
Believe it or not
Sote sote khawabon mein bhi khawab dikhati hai
She weaves dreams in my dreams
Mano na mano tum
Believe it or not
Pari hai woh pari ki kahaniyaan sunati hai
She’s a fairy and she tells me stories of fairyland
(Khudaya khair) x.4
(God have mercy!) x.4

Tu hawa main zameen
You’re the wind, I’m the earth
Tu jahan main waheen
I’m there, where you are
Jab ude mujhe leke kyon udti nahin
When you fly why don’t you take me with you
Tu ghata main zameen
You’re the cloud, I’m the earth
Tu kahin main kahin
You’re there and I’m here
Kyon kabhi mujhe le ke barasti nahi
Why don’t you take me along when you shower down

Jab daant mein ungli dabaaye
When she bites her finger in worry
Ya ungli pe lat liptaaye
Or twines her hair with her fingers
Badal yeh nichadta jaaye
The clouds wring their hands
Hoo hoo
-------------------------
Kuch kar ke woh baat ko taale
When he ignores a matter
Jab maathe pe woh bal dale
Or frowns in frustration
Ambar yeh sukadta jaaye
The heavens starts shrinking
Ho oo hooo
-----------------------------
Woh jab nakhoon kutarti hai
When she cuts her nails
To chanda ghatne lagta hai
The moon decreases too
Woh paani par kadam rakhe
When she steps on water
Sagar bhi hat jaata hai
Even the sea parts for her
-------------------------------------
