Raat Akeli Thi Lyrics in Hindi
रात अकेली थी तो
बात निकल गई
तन्हा शहर में वो
तन्हा सी मिल गई
मैंने उसे पूछा
हम पहले भी मिले हैं कहीं क्या
फिर?
उसकी नज़र झुकी चाल बदल गई
ज़रा सा क़रीब आई और संभल गई
हौले से जो बोली
मेरी जान बहल गई हाँ
क्या बोली?
हाँ हम मिले हैं सौ सौ दफ़ा
मैं धूल हूँ तू क़ाफ़िला
एक दूसरे में हम यूँ लापता
मैं धूल हूँ तू क़ाफ़िला
हो..
Raat Akeli Thi Lyrics in English
Raat akeli thi toh
Baat nikal gayi
Tanha shehar mein woh
Tanha si mil gayi
Maine use puchha
Hum pehle bhi mile hain kahin kya
Phir?
Uski nazar jhuki chaal badal gayi
Zara sa qareeb aayi aur sambhal gayi
Haule se jo boli
Meri jaan bahal gayi haan
Kya boli?
Haan hum mile hain sau sau dafa
Main dhool hoon tu karavaan
Ek dusare mein hum yoon laapata
Main dhool hoon tu karavaan
Ho..

Raat Akeli Thi Lyrics Translation in English
The night was lonely,
And a conversation began,
In the deserted city,
I found her, equally alone.
I asked her,
“Have we met somewhere before?”
Then?
Her gaze lowered, her steps changed,
She came a little closer, then steadied herself,
When she spoke softly,
My heart felt at ease.
What did she say?
“Yes, we have met hundreds of times,
I am dust, and you are the caravan,
In each other, we lose ourselves,
I am dust, and you are the caravan.”
