Lag ja gale ki phir ye hasin raat ho na ho
Embrace me, this beautiful night may never come again
Shayad phir is janam mein mulakat ho na ho
Perhaps in this life our meeting may not occur

Lag jaa gale se ...

Hum ko mili hai aaj ye ghadiya naseeb se
We have got today with these moments by chance
Je bhar ke dekh leejiye hamako kareeb se
See to your heart's content me from up-close
Phir apke naseeb mein ye raat ho na ho
In your fate this night may not happen again
Shayad phir is janaam mein mulakaat ho na ho
Perhaps in this life our meeting may not occur

Lag ja gale ki phir ye hasin raat ho na ho
Embrace me, this beautiful night may never come again
Shayad phir is janam mein mulakaat ho na ho
Perhaps in this life our meeting may not occur

Pas aiye ki ham nahin ayenge baar baar
Come near me for I will not come again
Bahen gale mein daal ke ham ro le zaar-zaar
With arms around your neck let me weep to my heart's content
Ankhoon se phir ye pyaar ki barsaat ho na ho
From my eyes this rain of love may not fall again
Shayad phir is janam mein mulaakat ho na ho
Perhaps in this life our meeting may not occur

Lag ja gale ki phir ye hasin raat ho na ho
Embrace me for this beautiful night may never come again
Shayad phir is janam mein mulaakat ho na ho
Perhaps in this life our meeting may not occur
