lyrics

Original Urdu followed by English translation:

Raat Meh
Raat me akailai meh
Lurkian kioon roti hae?
Buchpan ki masoom khwaabe
Lurkian kioon khoti hae?

Khaae jo dil pe choat
Dagh kaise mitten ge?
Rugur rugur naazuk budun ko
Lurkian kioon dhoti hae?
Raat me akailai meh..

Zehen ko choro
Aahen loot chooki hae
Bhool ki gehri kaali nudi meh
Yaade kioon diboti hae?
Raat me akailai meh..

Khoon ke ansoon
Tupuk tupuk ruhae hae
Ghairo ki busti meh na dekho
Upne ghar me hohti hae
Raat me akailai meh...

In the Night

In the night all alone
Why do girls cry?
Why do they lose
Their innocent dreams?

When the heart itself is scarred
How will it heal?
Why do they rub
Their fragile skin so hard?
In the night all alone...

They have lost their thoughts
They have lost their hopes
Why do they drown memories
In the deep black seas of oblivion?
In the night all alone...

Tears of blood
Drip drip drip
Don't point at others
Look in your own homes
In the night all alone...
