Yeh raatè nayee puranee

Yeh raatè nayee puranee
Aate, aate jaate kehtee hài koee kahanee

Aa rahaa hai dekho koee
Jaa rahaa hai dekho koee
Sab ke dil hài jaage jaage
Sab kee aankhè khoyee khoyee
Khamoshee kartee hai baatè

Kyaa samaa hai jaise khushboo
Uṛ rahee ho kaliyò se
Guzree ho nindiyaa mè
Palkò kee galiyò se
Sundar sapnò kee baraatè

Kaun jaane kab chalengee
Kis taraf se yeh hawayè
Saal bhar to yaad rakhnaa
Aisa naa ho bhool jaayè
Is raat kee mulakatè

These nights, early and late, new and old, come and go with so many untold stories.

We see people come and go. Some people’s eyes may be tearful, seemingly lost, but all hearts are alive and hopeful. At night the silence speaks louder than words.

What is that gentle fragrance flying by as sleepiness passes over us and from the highway beyond our eyelids, our beautiful dreams emerge.

Who knows when we go? Who knows from what direction the winds will come (to take us)? Remember these times through the years, let the night remind you, lest you forget.

Singer: Lata Mangeshkar ; Movie: Julie (1975)
