Aaj Ki Raat
सोनू निगम Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Shaam hai, jaam hai aur hai nasha
Tan bhi hai, man bhi hai pighla hua
Chhayi hai rangeeliyan
Phir bhi hain betabiyaan

Kyun dhadakta hai dil? Kyun yeh kehta hai dil?
Deewana ko ab tak nahin hai yeh pata
Aaj ki raat hona hai kya?
Paana hai kya? Khona hai kya?
Aaj ki raat hona hai kya?
Paana hai kya? Khona hai kya?

Do ghadi mein hi yahan jaane kya hoga
Jo hamesha tha mera bhi mera hoga
Kaun kiske dil mein hai faisla hoga

Faisla hai yahi jeet hogi meri
Oh, deewana ko ab tak nahin hai yeh pata

Aaj ki raat hona hai kya?
Paana hai kya? Khona hai kya?
Aaj ki raat hona hai kya?
Paana hai kya? Khona hai kya?

Aao main tumse kahoon baat chupke se
Rang badlegi pal mein raat chupke se
Tumko le jaaonga phir saath chupke se

Jaaoge tum kahan? Dekho main hoon yahan
Deewana ko ab tak nahin hai yeh pata

Aaj ki raat hona hai kya?
Paana hai kya? Khona hai kya?




Aaj ki raat hona hai kya?
Paana hai kya? Khona hai kya?

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Sonu Nigam's "Aaj Ki Raat" speak to the excitement and anticipation of a night full of possibilities. The first stanza sets the mood, describing a night with a heady mix of liquor, sensuality, and restlessness, yet despite the vibrant atmosphere, the singer's heart is full of unanswered questions. Why is his heart beating so fast? What does it want? The refrain of "deewana ko ab tak nahin hai yeh pata" ("even the madman doesn't know") underscores this sense of confusion and suggests that, despite all the excitement around him, the singer is still searching for something.


In the second stanza, the singer asks what will happen in the next few moments? Will something be gained or lost? The singer is unsure what will happen next. He also wonders about what will occur in the next few moments, and whether he will lose or gain something. The singer's anxiety and uncertainty are further highlighted in the third stanza when he speaks of how everything is going to change in the next instant, and that he doesn't know what will happen to him or his heart. In the last stanza, the singer calms down and asks to share a private conversation with his loved one. He promises to change their surroundings and take them away, with a sense of newfound confidence.


Overall, "Aaj Ki Raat" conveys the conflicting emotions that come with embracing the thrill of the night while simultaneously grappling with uncertainty and searching for meaning.
