Roz roz aankhon tale, Everyday, beneath the eyes
ek hi sapna chale
a dream walks by

raat bhar kaajal jale,

The words raat bhar approximates to fullness of night or the whole night in modern language. Raat bhar kaajal jalemeans that her eye shadow runs all night, implying that she cries throughout the night. However Gulzar uses a double meaning because kajjal is a black lamp as well!
aankh mein jis tarah khwaab ka diya jale
just as the lamp(candle?) of the dream burns..
in (her) eyes, just as, the light of her hopes burn.
Although we approximate khwaab to dreams, it approximates better to hopes.
Jale approximates to burns. Gulzar uses imagery to juxtapose the way a lamp burns (diya) and the way kaajal runs down in tears by saying that both are burning.in (her) eyes, just as, the light of her hopes burn.
Its a very beautiful song...with superb lyrics...
