Roman Transliteration/English Translation of the original Urdu-Hindi Lyrics:

yeh raat hai pyaasee pyaasee,
THIS NIGHT IS FULL OF DESIRES AND CRAVINGS,

yeh raat hai pyaasee pyaasee,
THIS NIGHT IS FULL OF DESIRES AND CRAVINGS,

pyaasee naa guzar jaaye,
LET IT NOT PASS BY UNSATISFIED,

tum baa.nho.n me.n aa jaao,
GET INTO MY ARMS,

tum baa.nho.n me.n aa jaao,
GET INTO MY ARMS,

yaa waqt Taher jaaye,
OR LET THE TIME STAND STILL,

yeh raat hai pyaasee pyaasee…
THIS NIGHT IS FULL OF DESIRES AND CRAVINGS…


nayee aag dil ko jalaane lagee hai,
A NEW FIRE’S BEGUN TO CONSUME THE HEART,

machalnaa sikhaane lagee hai,
GIVING A LESSON IN EXCITIBILITY,

jawaa.n pyaar qaaboo me.n kaise rahegaa,
HOW CAN THE YOUNG LOVE BE KEPT UNRESTRAINED!

ke a.nga.daayee aane lagee hai,
AS THE YAWN OF DESIRES APPROACHES ,

yeh palke.n uThaao,
RAISE THESE EYELASHES,

yeh nazre.n milaao,
LOCK THESE EYES INTO MINE,

mastee bikhar jaaye,
LET THE INTOXICATION CATCH ON!

yeh raat hai pyaasee pyaasee,
THIS NIGHT IS FULL OF DESIRES AND CRAVINGS,

yeh raat hai pyaasee pyaasee…
THIS NIGHT IS FULL OF DESIRES AND CRAVINGS…


kaee ra.ngg dekhe tumhaare labo.n me.n,
MANY SHADES I’VE SEEN IN YOUR LIPS,

kaho toh koee hamm churaa le.n,
IF YOU SAY, I’LL STEAL SOME OF THEM,

zaraa shoKh kar le.n yeh saadaa saa jeevan,
LET’S MAKE THIS PLAIN SORT OF LIFE CHEERFUL,

jawaanee ko ra.ngee.n banaa le.n,
LET’S MAKE THE YOUTH COLOURFUL,

yeh aa.nkhe.n na phero,
DON’T LOOK AWAY,

yeh zulfe.n bikhero,
DISHEVEL THE HAIR,

duniyaa sa.nvar jaaye,
LET THE WORLD BE EMBELLISHED!

yeh raat hai pyaasee pyaasee,
THIS NIGHT IS FULL OF DESIRES AND CRAVINGS,


yeh raat hai pyaasee pyaasee,
THIS NIGHT IS FULL OF DESIRES AND CRAVINGS,

pyaasee naa guzar jaaye,
LET IT NOT PASS BY UNSATISFIED,

tum baa.nho.n me.n aa jaao,
GET INTO MY ARMS,

tum baa.nho.n me.n aa jaao,
GET INTO MY ARMS,

yaa waqt Taher jaaye,
OR LET THE TIME STAND STILL!

yeh raat hai pyaasee pyaasee.
THIS NIGHT IS FULL OF DESIRES AND CRAVINGS.

NASIR.

Love is only a dirty trick played on us to achieve continuation of the species. ~W. Somerset Maugham, A Writer's Notebook, 1949
