दिन ढल जाये हाय
रात ना जाए
तू तो न आए तेरी याद सताये
दिन ढल जाये हाये
रात ना जाए
तू तो न आए तेरी याद सताये
दिन ढल जाये
प्यार में जिनके सब जग छोड़ा
और हुए बदनाम
उनके ही हाथों हाल हुआ ये
बैठे हैं दिल को थाम
अपने कभी थे अब हैं पराये
दिन ढल जाये हाय
रात ना जाए
तू तो न आए तेरी याद सताये
दिन ढल जाये
ऐसी ही रिम झिम ऐसी फ़ुवारें
ऐसी ही थी बरसात
खुद से जुदा और जग से पराये
हम दोनों थे साथ
फिर से वो सावन अब क्यूँ न आये
दिन ढल जाये हाय
रात ना जाए
तू तो न आए तेरी याद सताये
दिन ढल जाये
दिल के मेरे तुम पास हो कितनी
फिर भी हो कितनी दूर
तुम मुझ से मैं दिल से परेशाँ
दोनों हैं मजबूर
ऐसे में किसको कौन मनाये
दिन ढल जाये हाये
रात ना जाय
तू तो न आए तेरी याद सताये
दिन ढल जाये
The lyrics to Mohammed Rafi's song Din Dhal Jaye express the feelings of heartbreak and longing for a lost love. The singer begins by begging for their love to not disappear with the passing of the day into night. They continue to lament the loss of love, singing about those who were once loved and then abandoned, and how they are left alone to deal with the pain. The rain and storms that used to bring them together now bring only a sense of separation and unfamiliarity. The song ends with the singer admitting their inability to move on from the love they once had, left alone in their pain and longing.
Overall, the song speaks to the universality of heartbreak and the power of a lost love to consume and define a person's life. Despite the passage of time and distance, the singer's love remains a constant presence in their life, haunting them and reminding them of what they once had. The use of nature imagery, particularly the rain and the fading light of day, serves to metaphorize the pain and loneliness of heartbreak.

This may be one of the best songs from great Rafi Sahib. But the greatness of this song is absolutely the heart touching lyrics by Shailender. Not to forget mellow music by S D Burman.
