ashko ne jo paya hai vo gito me diya hai
is par bhi suna hai ki zamane ko gila hai
ashko ne jo paya hai

jo tar se nikali hai vo dhun sab ne suni hai
jo tar se nikali hai vo dhun sab ne suni hai
jo saz pe guzri hai vo kis dil ko pata hai
ashko ne jo paya hai vo gito me diya hai
is par bhi suna hai ki zamane ko gila hai
ashko ne jo paya hai

ham phul hai auro ke liye laye hai khushabu
ham phul hai auro ke liye laye hai khushabu
apne liye le de ke bas ik dag mila hai
ashko ne jo paya hai vo gito me diya hai
is par bhi suna hai ki zamane ko gila hai
ashko ne jo paya hai

The tears I've held, I've spun to song,
And still, they say, the world finds wrong,
The tears I've held.

The melody heard, a vibrant thread,
The heart that bore it, silently bled,
The melody heard.

We, blooms for others, scent we lend,
For ourselves, a wound that won't mend,
The tears I've held, I've spun to song,
And still, they say, the world finds wrong,
The tears I've held.
