Yeh raat bheegi bheegi

Yeh raat bheegi bheegi, yeh mast fizaayein
Utha dheere dheere wo chaand pyaara pyaara
Yeh raat bheegi bheegi, yeh mast fizaayein
Utha dheere dheere wo chaand pyaara pyaara

Aah, aah...

Kyoon aag si lagaake gumsum hai chandni
Sone bhi nahin deta mausam ka yeh ishaara

Ithlaathi hawa, neelam sa gagan
Kaliyon pe yeh behoshi ki nami
Aise mein bhi kyun bechain hai dil
Jeevan mein na jaane kya hai kami

Kyoon aag si lagaake gumsum hai chaandni
Sone bhi nahin deta mausam ka yeh ishaara

Yeh raat bheegi bheegi, yeh mast fizaayein
Utha dheere dheere wo chaand pyaara pyaara

Jo din ke ujaale mein na mila
Dil dhoonde aise sapne ko
Is raat ki jagmag mein doobi
Main dhoond rahi hoon apne ko

Yeh raat bheegi bheegi, yeh mast fizaayein
Utha dheere dheere wo chaand pyaara pyaara

Kyoon aag si lagaake gumsum hai chaandni
Sone bhi nahin deta mausam ka yeh ishaara

Aise mein kahin kya koi nahin
Bhoole se jo humko yaad kare

Ek halki si muskaan se jo
Sapnon ka jahan aabaad kare

Yeh raat bheegi bheegi, yeh mast fizaayein
Utha dheere dheere wo chaand pyaara pyaara

Kyoon aag si lagaake gumsum hai chaandni
Sone bhi nahin deta mausam ka yeh ishaara

Yeh raat bheegi bheegi, yeh mast fizaayein
Utha dheere dheere wo chaand pyaara pyaara

This is one of those songs that my uncle (with the Kishore Kumar voice) used to sing well. Another family favourite that sets everyone humming as soon as one of us sings it. ~ S
