Lyrics:

Zindagi bhar nahin bhulegi vo barasaat ki raat ek anjaan haseena se mulaakaat ki raat zindagi bhar nahin bhulegi………..

haay vo reshami zulfon se barasata paani phool se gaalon pe ruk ne ko tarasata paani dil men toofaan uthaate hue dil men toofaan uthaate hue, haalaat ki raat zindagi bhar nahin bhulegi……………

dar ke bijali se, achaanak vo lipatana us ka aur phir sharm se balakhaake simatana us ka kabhi dekhi na, suni aisi ho kabhi dekhi na, suni aisi tilismaat ki raat zindagi bhar nahin bhulegi……………..

surkh aanchal ko daba kar jo nichoda us ne dil pe jalata hua ek teer sa chhoda us ne aag paani men lagaate hue aag paani men lagaate hue, jazabaat ki raat zindagi bhar nahin bhulegi…………………

mere naghmon men jo basati hai vo tasveer thi vo naujavaani ke haseen khwaab ki tabeer thi vo aasmanon se utar aai thi jo raat ki raat zindagi bhar nahin bhulegi…………………

“Duet Version”

[lata:] zindagi bhar nahin bhulegi vo barasaat ki raat ek anjaan musaafir se mulaaqaat ki raat zindagi bhar nahin bhulegi …………….

haay jis raat mere dil ne dhadakana sikha shokh jazabaat ne seene men bhadakana sikha meri taqadir men nikhari hui, ho meri taqadir men nikhari hui, saramaat ki raat zindagi bhar nahin bhulegi………….

dil ne jab pyaar ke rangin fasaane chhede aankhon-aankhon ne vafaaon ke taraane chhede soz men doob gai aaj vahi soz men doob gai aaj vahi, naghamaat ki raat zindagi bhar nahin bhulegi………….

[Rafi] ruuthanevaali ! ruuthanevaali meri baat pe maayus na ho baheke-baheke Khayaalaat se maayus na ho khatm hogi na kabhi tere, ho khatm hogi na kabhi tere mere saath ki raat zindagi bhar nahin …,…………..

All my life, I’ll never forget that rainy night When I met an unknown beauty…

Oh! The water raining from those silky tresses.. Water, that yearned to stay on those flower-like cheeks… That emotional night, that awakened a storm in my heart (All my life, I’ll never forget)

Afraid of the lightning, she suddenly embraced me.. And then, shyly, shrank back, blushing: I’d never heard or seen anything like this.. A night of enchantment (All my life, I’ll never forget)

She pressed the end of her wet sari and wrung it out; And in doing so, she shot a burning arrow into my heart. Setting water alight…. A night of such scenes (All my life, I’ll never forget)

She’s the image set in my poetry; She’s the picture of youthful beauty: A heaven-born night of nights…..(All my life, I’ll never forget)
