Song: Megha chhaaye aadhi raat
Movie: Sharmilee (1971)
Singers: Lata Mangeshkar
Lyrics: Neeraj
Music: SD Burman

meghaa chhaye aadhee raat bairan ban gayee nindeeya
bataa de main kyaa karoo

sab ke aangan diyaa jale re, more aangan jiyaa
hawaa laage shool jaisee, taanaa maare chunareeyaan
aayee hain aansoo kee baaraat
bairan ban gayee nindeeya
bataa de main kyaa karoo

rooth gaye re sapne saare, toot gayee re aashaa
nain bahe re gangaa more, fir bhee man hain pyaasaa
kise kahoo more man kee baat
bairan ban gayee nindeeya
bataa de main kyaa karoo

Clouds have gathered at midnight,
My sleep has turned hostile,
Please tell me, what do I do?

While the courtyards of all are lit by lamps,
In the courtyard of my mind
The wind feels like a spear,
My clothes ridicule me
The cavalcade of tears have arrived
My sleep has turned hostile
Please tell me, what do I do?

My dreams have abandoned me,
And desires are shattered,
My eyes flow like the Ganges,
Yet my mind feels thirsty
How do I express the state of my mind?
My sleep has turned hostile
Please tell me, what do I do?
