आके मेरे पास कानो में मेरे
जो भी चाहे कहिये
जो भी चाहे कहिये
रात अकेली है बुझ गए दिए
आके मेरे पास कानो में मेरे
जो भी चाहे कहिये
जो भी चाहे कहिये
तुम आज मेरे लिए रुक जाओ
रुत भी है फुरसत भी है
तुम्हे ना हो ना सही
मुझे तुमसे मोहब्बत है
तुम आज मेरे लिए रुक जाओ
रुत भी है फुरसत भी है
तुम्हे ना हो ना सही
मुझे तुमसे मोहब्बत है
मोहब्बत की इजाज़त है
तो चुप क्यूँ रहिये
जो भी चाहे कहिये
रात अकेली है बुझ गए दिए
आके मेरे पास कानो में मेरे
जो भी चाहे कहिये
जो भी चाहे कहिये
सवाल बनी हुई दबी दबी उलझन सिनो में
जवाब देना था तो डूबे हो पसीनो में
सवाल बनी हुई दबी दबी उलझन सिनो में
जवाब देना था तो डूबे हो पसीनो में
ठनी है दो हसीनों में
तो चुप क्यूँ रहिये
जो भी चाहे कहिये
रात अकेली है बुझ गए दिए
आके मेरे पास कानो में मेरे
जो भी चाहे कहिये
जो भी चाहे कहिये
रात अकेली है बुझ गए दिए
आके मेरे पास कानो में मेरे
जो भी चाहे कहिये
जो भी चाहे कहिये
The lyrics of Asha Bhosle’s “Raat Akeli Hai” revolve around a person who is alone and feeling nostalgic. She sings about how the night is dark and the candles have gone out, leaving her deep in thought. The person she loves is with her, but they are not speaking. The singer urges them to tell her whatever they want to say and not to be afraid of being honest. She asks them to spend the night with her and not to worry about the time. The lyrics suggest that the person singing is feeling deeply about the moment and wants to feel close to the person she loves.
The second verse delves deeper into the confusion and uncertainty of the moment. The person singing is struggling with questions in their mind and is feeling overwhelmed. She asks the person she loves to answer the questions in her heart, even if it means facing the difficult reality. The singer suggests that the two of them should not hide their feelings but should express them honestly. She repeats the refrain that the night is theirs to spend, so they must not waste it.

रात अकेली है बुझ गए दिए
It's a lonely night, the lights have gone out
आके मेरे पास कानो में मेरे
Come to me, whisper in my ear
जो भी चाहे कहिये
Say whatever you want to say
तुम आज मेरे लिए रुक जाओ
You stop for me today
रुत भी है फुरसत भी है
There's also leisure amid the season
तुम्हे ना हो ना सही
If not for you, then it's okay
मुझे तुमसे मोहब्बत है
I'm in love with you
मोहब्बत की इजाज़त है
Love has permission
तो चुप क्यूँ रहिये
Then why stay quiet
सवाल बनी हुई दबी दबी उलझन सिनो में
A question has become a hidden tangled problem in the heart
जवाब देना था तो डूबे हो पसीनो में
If you had to answer, you would have drowned in sweat
ठनी है दो हसीनों में
There is competition between two beauties

Rat akelee hai bujh gaye diye
Aake mere pas kano me mere, jo bhee chahe kahiye
Jo bhee chahe kahiye
Rat akelee hai bujh gaye diye
Aake mere pas kano me mere, jo bhee chahe kahiye
Jo bhee chahe kahiye
Rat akelee hai bujh gaye diye
Tum aaj mere liye ruk jao, rut bhee hai furasat bhee hai
Tumhe naa ho naa sahee, mujhe tumase muhabbat hai
Tum aaj mere liye ruk jao, rut bhee hai furasat bhee hai
Tumhe naa ho naa sahee, mujhe tumase muhabbat hai
Mohabbat kee ijajat hai, toh chup kyun rahiye
Jo bhee chahe kahiye
