chalo bohat huya
ab ek ek kar
in sitaron ko
aur is chand ko rukhsat karoon
raat jo ye baithi hai kohni tikaye
isko boloon ghar jaye apne
aaj tera aana nahi hoga
aaj neend nahi ayegi in ankhon mein
okay, its enough now
let me say goodbye
to this moon
and these stars, one by one
this night sitting with elbows resting
let me tell her to go home
as, you won’t be coming
and, there won’t be any sleep in these eyes
