One of the most simplest and arguably one of the best songs that AR Rahman has composed ever. A perfect example of Beauty in Simplicity. Beautifully rendered by Sowmya Raoh.
Raat ka shauk hai
I aspire of the night
Raat ki saundhi si
The earthen feel of the night time
Khamoshi ka Shauk hai
I aspire of silence
Subah ki roshni bezubaan subhon ki aur gungunaati
Those rays of the morning light humming towards the mute morning
Roshni ka shauk hai, oh shauk hai !
I aspire of light, I just aspire !
San sani anwlon ka
I aspire to taste the tangy amlas
Ke ishq ke banwlon ka
I aspire to experience the madness that lovers possess
San sani anwle
Of those pungent amlas
Ke ishq ke banwle
Of those crazy lovers
Barf se khelte badalon ka
I aspire of the clouds playing with the ice caps
Shauk hai (I aspire (to touch))
Kaash ye zindagi Khel hi khel mein kho gayi hoti
I wish this life were lost in its own play
Raat ka shauk hai
I aspire of the night
Neend ki goliyon ka
I aspire of those sleeping pills
Khwab ke loriyon ka
Of those lullabies that dreams have in store for me
Bezubaan aus ki boliyon ka; Shauk hai
I aspire of the words of these mute dew drops
Kaash ye zindagi binkahe binsune so gayi hoti
I wish this life never reacted to sound and words and just lay dead

No doubt great work... but I am surprised no body (in the comments) appreciated the lyricist... Gulzar. Who else could have written such beautiful and mesmerizing lyrics. He is God!
