Ye raat jaise dulhan, ban gayi chiraagon se
Tonight, as she becomes a bride under lights
Karungaa ujaala main dil ke daagon se
My heartache will shine brighter still
Aaj ki raat mere, dil ki salaami le le, dil ki salaami le le
Tonight, my heart salutes you
Kal teri bazm se diwaana chala jaayega
Tomorrow this lover will leave your side
Shama rahe jaayegi, parwaana chala jaayega
This flame will remain, but the moth will be gone
Teri mehfil tere jalwe ho mubaarak tujhko
Your gathering, your lustre, suits you well
Teri ulfat se nahin aaj bhi inkaar mujhe
Today I will not deny you your pleasure
Tera maikhaana salaamat rahe eh jaan-e-wafa
Bless your beguiling ways, lover
Muskuraakar tu zara dekh le ik baar mujhe
Favor me just once more with your smile
Phir tere pyaar ka mastaana chala jaayega
Then the one intoxicated with you will go
Kal teri bazm se diwaana chala jaayega
Tomorrow this lover will leave your side
Shama rahe jaayegi parwaana chala jaayega
This flame will remain, but the moth will be gone
Aaj ki raat mere, dil ki salaami le le, dil ki salaami le le
Tonight, my heart salutes you
Maine chaaha ki bata dun main haqeeqat apni
I wanted to tell you the truth about me,
Tune lekin na mera raaz-e-mohabbat samjha
But you did not see my secret love
Meri uljhan mere haalaat yaha tak pahonche
My troubles reached the point where
Teri aankhon ne mere pyaar ko nafrat samjha
You took my love for hate
Ab teri raah se begaana chala jaayega
Now this stranger will not be in your way
Kal teri bazm se diwaana chala jaayega
Tomorrow this lover will leave your side
Shama rahe jaayegi parwaana chala jaayega
This flame will remain, but the moth will be gone
Aaj ki raat mere, dil ki salaami le le, dil ki salaami le le
Tonight, my heart salutes you
Tu mera saath na de raah-e-mohabbat mein sanam
You did not walk the path of love with me
Chalte-chalte main kissi raah pe mud jaaunga
I will take a turn away from this path now
Kahkashaan chaand sitaare tere choomenge qadam
Rainbows, the moon and stars will kiss the ground you tread
Tere raste ki main ek dhool hun ud jaaunga
I am the dust in your path, I will be blown away.
Saath mere mera afsaana chala jaayega
The tale of my love will go with me
Kal teri bazm se diwaana chala jaayega
Tomorrow this lover will leave your side
Shama rahe jaayegi parwaana chala jaayega
This flame will remain, but the moth will be gone
Aaj ki raat mere, dil ki salaami le le, dil ki salaami le le
Tonight, my heart salutes you
The touching lament of a lover who never got to express his love, and now his sweetheart will marry someone else. Rafi's voice and the magic of Naushad make this beautiful. We may never again see such a combination of talent..Venkat

Enjoyed this one so much, had to bring it back to the fore........Venkat, he certainly reminds me of someone just as well as great in her field.
