Rafi Sahaab’s Ab Raat Milan Kee...

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

Ab raat milan kee, beet chukee,
THE NIGHT OF UNION IS OVER NOW,

Yeh khel bigadne waalaa hai,
THE GAME IS ABOUT TO GO AWRY,

NASIR

"Our lives are much too brief...

If a man is cruel by nature, cruel in action,

the mortal world will call down curses on his head

while he is alive, and all will mock his memory after death.

But then if a man is kind by nature, kind in action,

his guests will carry his fame across the earth

and people all will praise him from the heart."

-- Penelope in Homer, The Odyssey, Book 19 lines 387-383

THE SIGHTS THEIR RAPTURES

Dikha Dikha Ke So Gaye,
SHOWN, HAVE GONE TO SLEEP,

Sitaare Apni Raushnee
THE STARS THEIR LUMINANCE

STRIPPED, HAVE GONE TO SLEEP,

Har Ek Shamma Jal Chuki
EVERY LAMP HAS GONE OUT,

Na Jaane Tum Kab Aaoge,
DON’T KNOW WHEN YOU'LL ARRIVE,

Suhaani Raat Dhal Chuki
THE PLEASANT NIGHT IS OVER

Na Jaane Tum Kab Aaoge,

Hawa Bhi Rukh Badal Chuki,
EVEN THE WIND HAS CHANGED ITS COURSE,

Na Jaane Tum Kab Aaoge
DON’T KNOW WHEN YOU’LL ARRIVE,

Suhaani Raat Dhal Chuki
THE PLEASANT NIGHT IS OVER

Na Jaane Tum Kab Aaoge,
