I MAY BE ABLE TO APPEASE GOD,


magar maane, naa rooThaa dil,
BUT THE OFFENDED HEART WON’T AGREE,

IF DEATH COMES TO PUT ME TO SLEEP,


toh mai.n keh doo.ngaa phir aanaa,
THEN I’LL SAY: “COME LATER!”


abhee toh tum, ho mere saath,
FOR NOW YOU’RE WITH ME,


ke hamko neend nahee.n aatee,
FOR I CAN’T GET SLEEP,


meree jaa.n aao, baiTho paas,
MY SWEETHEART! COME SIT BY MY SIDE


ke hamko neend nahee.n aatee,
FOR I CAN’T SLEEP,


aaj kee raat, yeh kaisee raat,
WHAT SORT OF NIGHT IS TONIGHT!


ke hamko neend nahee.n aatee,
FOR I CAN’T SLEEP,


meree jaa.n aao, baiTho paas,
MY SWEETHEART! COME SIT BY MY SIDE


ke hamko neend nahee.n aatee.
FOR I CAN’T SLEEP.

Oh the moon is high and you're so glamorous
And if I seem over amorous
Lady what can I do
The night is young and I'm in love with you
(From Dean Martin's The Night is Young...)
