dam bhar ka tha daur khushi ka
jisko muqaddar loot gaya
jaise chamka ek sitara, aur chamak kar toot gaya
dam bhar ka tha daur khushi ka

khoon mile ye aansu mere
tumko duaaye dete hain
khoon mile ye aansu mere
tumko duaaye dete hain
thes lagaakar chale ho aise, dil ka taala toot gaya
dam bhar ka tha daur khushi ka

khatam hue jal jal ke patange
taare dube, shama bujhi
khatam hue jal jal ke patange
taare dube, shama bujhi
raat ki mahafil ka har saathi, dheere dheere chhut gaya
dam bhar ka tha daur khushi ka
jisko muqaddar loot gaya
jaise chamka ek sitara, aur chamak kar toot gaya
dam bhar ka tha daur khushi ka

A fleeting reign, joy's tender bloom,
Plundered by fate's cruel decree,
Like a star that shone, a moment's gleam,
Then shattered in eternity.
A fleeting reign, joy's tender bloom.

With tears that mingle, blood-red now,
Blessings I send your way,
With tears that mingle, blood-red now,
Blessings I send today.
A crushing blow, your leaving's sting,
My heart's lock broken, gone astray.
A fleeting reign, joy's tender bloom.

The moths consumed, their burning done,
Stars submerged, the lamp is spent,
The moths consumed, their burning done,
Stars submerged, the lamp is rent.
Each companion of the night's embrace,
Fades slowly, heaven-sent.
A fleeting reign, joy's tender bloom,
Plundered by fate's cruel decree,
Like a star that shone, a moment's gleam,
Then shattered in eternity.
A fleeting reign, joy's tender bloom.
