aaj sochaa to aansu bhar aaye
aaj sochaa to aansu bhar aaye
muddate ho gai muskuraae
aaj sochaa to aansu bhar aaye
aaj sochaa to aansu bhar aaye

har kadam par udhar mud ke dekha
har kadam par udhar mud ke dekha
unki mehfil se hum uth to aaye
aaj sochaa to aansu bhar aaye
aaj sochaa to aansu bhar aaye

dil ki nazuk range tutati hai
dil ki nazuk range tutati hai
yaad itna bhi koi na aaye
aaj sochaa to aansu bhar aaye
aaj sochaa to aansu bhar aaye

reh gayi zindagi dard banke
rah gayi zindagi dard banke
dard dil me chhupaye chhupaye
aaj sochaa to aansu bhar aaye
aaj sochaa to aansu bhar aaye
muddate ho gai muskuraae
aaj sochaa to aansu bhar aaye
aaj sochaa to aansu bhar aaye

The thought returned, and tears began to fall,
So many years since laughter graced my call.

At every step, I turned my gaze behind,
At every step, the memory I'd find,
From their bright hall, though I had turned away,
The thought returned, and tears began to play.

The tender veins within the heart, they break,
The tender veins, for sorrow's bitter sake,
That memory should haunt me thus, so deep,
The thought returned, and tears began to weep.

Life, it remained, a sorrow's lonely song,
Life, it remained, where shadows did belong,
The thought returned, and tears began to pour.
