raat khushi ki aayi
aaj duniya nayi hai nazaare naye
raat khushi ki aayi
aaj duniya nayi hai nazaare naye
raat khushi ki aayi

seene mein umangen machali
hothon pe taraane aaye
seene mein umangen machali
hothon pe taraane aaye
ham jinake liye jeete the
aakhir vo zamaane aaye
unaki aashaaon ne roop dhaare naye
raat khushi ki aayi
aaj duniya nayi hai nazaare naye
raat khushi ki aayi

kiranon ke sehare bunati
raat aayi naseebonvaalii, ho
raat aayi naseebonvaali
kiranon ke sehare bunati
raat aayi naseebonvaalii, ho
raat aayi naseebonvaali
dharati pe ujaala phaila
ambar pe saji divaali
mere nainon mein chamake sitaare naye
raat khushi ki aayi
aaj duniya nayi hai nazaare naye
raat khushi ki aayi

chalate hue ek raahi ne
manzil ka ishaara paaya
chalate hue ek raahi ne
manzil ka ishaara paaya
majadhaar mein ek naiyya ne
maanjhi ka sahaara paaya
inake toofaan se ubhare kinaare naye
raat khushi ki aayi
aaj duniya nayi hai nazaare naye
raat khushi ki aayi

raat ke raahi
raat ke raahi thak mat jaana
subah ki manzil door naheen, door nahi
raat ke raahi …

dharati ke phaile aangan mein
pal do pal hai raat ka dera
dharati ke phaile aangan mein
pal do pal hai raat ka dera
zulm ka seena cheer ke dekho
jhaank raha hai naya savera
dhalata din majaboor sahi
chadhata sooraj majaboor naheen, majaboor nahi
thak mat jaanaa, ho raahi thak mat jaana
raat ke raahi …

sadiyon tak chup rahanevaale
ab apana haq leke rahenge
sadiyon tak chup rahanevaale
ab apana haq leke rahenge
jo karana hai khul ke karenge
jo kahana hai saaf kahenge
jeete ji ghut ghut kar marana
is jag ka dastoor naheen, dastoor nahi
thak mat jaanaa, ho raahi thak mat jaana
raat ke raahi …

tootengi bojhal zanjeeren
jaagengi soyi taqadeeren
tootengi bojhal zanjeeren
jaagengi soyi taqadeeren
loot pe kab tak pahara dengi
zang lagi khuneen shamasheeren
rah nahi sakata is duniya mein
jo sab ko manzoor naheen, manzoor nahi
thak mat jaanaa, ho raahi thak mat jaana
raat ke raahi …
