aate jate khubsurat aawara sadko pe kabhi kabhi itefak se
kitne anjan log mil jate hain uname se kuchh log bhul jate hain
kuchh yad reh jate hain uname se kuchh log bhul jate hain
kuchh yad reh jate hain kuchh yad reh jate hain

awaz ki dooniya ke doston kal rat kisi jagah mujhko
kis kadar yeh hasin khayal mila hain
rah me ek reshmi rumal mila hain
jo giraya tha kisine jankar jiska ho le jayey woh pehchankar
warna mai rakh lunga usako apna jankar kisi
husnwale ki nishani mankar nishani mankar

hanste gate logo ki bato hi bato me kabhi kabhi ek majak se
kitne jawan kisse ban jate hain un kisso me chund bhul jate hain
chand yad reh jate hain uname se kuchh log bhul jate hain
kuchh yad reh jate hain

takdir mujhpe meherban hai jis shaukh ki yeh dastan hai
usane bhi shayad yeh paigham suna ho
mere gito me apna nam soona ho
mere gito me apna nam soona ho
dur baithi yeh raj woh jan le meri aawaz ko pehchan le
kash phir kal rat jaisi barsat ho
aur meri usaki kahi mulakat ho mulakat ho

lambi lambi rato me nind nahi jab aaye kabhi kabhi iss firaq se
kitne hasin khwab ban jate hain uname se
kuchh khwab bhul jate hain
kuchh yad reh jate hain uname se kuchh log
bhul jate hain kuchh yad reh jate hain

aate jate khubsurat aawara sadko pe kabhi
kabhi itefak se kitne anjan log mil jate hain
uname se kuchh log bhul jate hain kuchh yad reh jate hain
uname se kuchh log bhul jate hain kuchh yad reh jate hain

On wandering streets, where beauty treads, by chance,
Unknowing souls in hurried passage meet,
Some fade like echoes, lost in circumstance,
While others linger, bittersweet.
Some fade away,
Some stay.

Friends of the voice, in realms unseen last night,
A thought of beauty graced my waking mind,
A silken scarf, a whisper in the light,
Lay fallen, left behind.
Perhaps a lover, knowing, might reclaim,
Or I shall keep it, claiming as my own,
A token, whispered of a tender name,
A beauty known, a beauty known.

In laughter’s flow, where songs and tales reside,
In casual jest, a youthful story starts,
Some tales are lost, in currents they confide,
While others echo in our hearts.
Some fade away,
Some stay.

Fate smiles on me, this passion, it sustains,
Perhaps she heard this story's whispered plea,
Within my songs, she heard her name's refrains,
And felt a longing, just for me.
Across the distance, let her know my call,
Recognize my voice in every line,
May rain descend, as it did then for all,
And let our souls again entwine, entwine.

Through endless nights, when sleep refuses hold,
From longing deep, where shadows softly creep,
How many dreams, in beauty, have unrolled,
Some dreams we lose, in slumber's sleep.
Some fade away,
Some stay.

On wandering streets, where beauty treads, sometimes,
Unknowing souls in fleeting moments meet,
Some fade like echoes, lost in distant climes,
While others linger, bittersweet.
Some fade away,
Some stay.
