Ki jani ki jaay se bole
Aaj bujhi aar ghum ashbenaa
Hmm chupi chupi raat jaay re chole
Ki jani ki jaay se bole
Aaj bujhi aar ghum ashbenaa
Raater arale chokh bhije gele
Raater arale chokh bhije gele
Janbe na keu lojja pele
Mon more valobasha more na
Gotokaal pichu daka chare na
Mon more valobasha more na
Gotokaal pichu daka chare na
Ogo chaad chere jeyo na
Chupi chupi raat jaay re chole
Ki jani ki jaay se bole
Aaj bujhi aar ghum ashenaa
Haater angule thonte aar gale
Lege acho tumi, bholi kon bhole
Haater angule thonte aar gale
Lege acho tumi, bholi kon bhole
Jani ashbena ghum ei raate
Mon diyechi taai hawate
Ashbena ghum ei raate
Mon diyechi taai hawate
Ogo chaad chere jeyo na
Chupi chupi raat jaay re chole
Ki jani ki jaay se bole
Aaj bujhi aar ghum ashbenaa
Tarader sathe tara guni
Sunner majhe swapno buni
Ogo chaad chere jeyo na
Jeyo na, jeyo na, jeyo na
Jeyo na, jeyo na, jeyo na
The lyrics of Arijit Singh's song Chupi Chupi convey a sense of longing, desire, and secrecy throughout. The song seems to be about the feelings of someone who is enamored with another person, but cannot express their true feelings for them. The singer sings about the night slipping away quietly, wondering where the object of their affection may have gone. There is an air of caution in these lyrics, as the singer is careful not to be too forward or too revealing of their emotions.
The chorus that repeats throughout the song, "Chupi chupi raat jaay re chole, ki jani ki jaay se bole, aaj bujhi aar ghum ashbenaa" roughly translates to "The night goes away quietly, who knows where it goes, today it will fall asleep again." These lyrics set the stage for the rest of the song, which is filled with imagery of the night slipping by, the eyes becoming wet with tears when the realization hits that the person of affection may not feel the same way, and the hope that the night will bring them closer together.
Overall, the song is a beautiful representation of the uncertainty of love and the fear of rejection. The lyrics are powerful and emotive, and Arijit Singh's voice adds depth and sensitivity to the words.

Chupi chupi raat jaay re chole
The night passes by silently
Ki jani ki jaay se bole
Who knows where it goes
Aaj bujhi aar ghum ashbenaa
Can't fall asleep anymore tonight
Raater arale chokh bhije gele
With eyes wet in the darkness of the night
Janbe na keu lojja pele
No one would know if they feel shy

My heart doesn't want love anymore
Gotokaal pichu daka chare na
No more calling out for the lost times
Ogo chaad chere jeyo na
Oh, don't leave the moon behind
Haater angule thonte aar gale
Holding onto fingers and throat
Lege acho tumi, bholi kon bhole
You keep holding me, innocent as you are
Jani ashbena ghum ei raate
I know sleep won't come tonight
Mon diyechi taai hawate
I let it go with the wind
Tarader sathe tara guni
Stars are always with their own kind
Sunner majhe swapno buni
Weaves dreams in the listener's mind
Jeyo na, jeyo na, jeyo na
Don't go, don't go, don't go
