Raat Ki Shayari: 30 Urdu Night Poems & Trans

Raat ki siyaahi, raazon ki ameen,
Dil ki gehraai mein, utarti hai yaheen.
The blackness of night, keeper of secrets,
It descends right here, into the depths of the heart.

Raat ka safar, hai kitna meherbaan.
The moon’s boat, the caravan of stars,
How kind is the journey of the night.

Khayaalon mein gum, dil hai aleel.

Lost in thoughts, the heart is unwell.

Kaash tu bhi hota, mere saath rawaan dawaan.
This night, this moonlight, this cool breeze,

Teri judaai ka, zikr karta hoon.
I talk to the stars all night long,
I mention your separation.

Raat ki chaadar jab, duniya pe chhaaye,
Aashiqon ke dil mein, dard aur barhaaye.
When the sheet of night spreads over the world,
It increases the pain in lovers’ hearts.

Yeh raat bhi guzar jaayegi, sabr kar aye dil,
Nayi subah laayegi, khushiyon ki mehfil.
This night too will pass, be patient, O heart,
A new morning will bring an assembly of joys.

Raat ke musaafir, hum bhi hain tum bhi,
Khwaabon ki duniya mein, gum hain sabhi.
Travelers of the night, we are, and you too,
Everyone is lost in the world of dreams.
