o bachpan ke din bhula naa dena
bachpan ke din bhula naa dena
aaj hanse kal rula naa dena
aaj hanse kal rula naa dena
o bachpan ke din bhula naa dena

lambe hain jivan ke raste
lambe hain jivan ke raste
aao chale ham gate hanste gate hanste
dur desh ek mahal banaye
pyar kaa jis me dip jalaye
dur des ek mahal banaye
pyar kaa jis me dip jalaye dip jalaye

dip jalakar bujha naa dena
aaj hanse kal rula naa dena
o bachpan ke din bhula naa dena
rut badle ya jivan bite
dil ke tarane hon naa purane
rut badle ya jivan bite
dil ke tarane ho naa purane

naino me ban kar sapn suhane
aayenge ek din yahee jamane
yahi jamane
naino me ban kar sapn suhane
aayenge ek din yahee jamane
yahee jamane
yad hamaree mita naa dena
aaj hanse kal rula naa dena
o bachpan ke din bhula naa dena

Oh, days of childhood, let not fade,
Days of childhood, let not fade.
Today's laughter, tomorrow's tears evade,
Today's laughter, tomorrow's tears evade.
Oh, days of childhood, let not fade.

Long are the paths that life unfurls,
Long are the paths that life unfurls.
Let us walk, with songs and smiles, the world,
Let us walk, with songs and smiles, the world.
Far a palace, let us build,
Where love's lone flame is gently willed,
Far a palace, let us build,
Where love's lone flame is gently willed, willed.

Kindled light, let not the flame descend,
Today's laughter, tomorrow's tears transcend.
Oh, days of childhood, let not fade,
Though seasons change, and life may wane,
Our hearts' sweet melodies remain,
Though seasons change, and life may wane,
Our hearts' sweet melodies remain.

In our eyes, as dreams they gleam,
Those days will rise, a cherished theme,
That cherished theme,
In our eyes, as dreams they gleam,
Those days will rise, a cherished theme,
That cherished theme.
Our memory, let not be erased,
Today's laughter, tomorrow's tears displaced.
Oh, days of childhood, let not fade.
