ehsaan zindagi ne dikhaye na, phir kabhi
ehsaan zindagi ne dikhaye na, phir kabhi
wo laut kar nigah me, aaye na phir kabhi

ek baar kya hanse the
ke jee bhar ke ro liye
ek baar kya hanse the
ke jee bhar ke ro liye
aankho se humne ashq bahaye na, phir kabhi

ab ke sawan me ghata
banke gire hai aansu
ab ke sawan me ghata
banke gire hai aansu
muddato baad bahut khulke hanse hai aansu
muddato baad bahut khulke hanse hai aansu
ab ke sawan me ghata
banke gire hai aansu

tere aane ki khushi me ye charaga kaisa
tere aane ki khushi me ye charaga kaisa
khushak palko pe sare sham jale hai aansu
khushak palko pe sare sham jale hai aansu
ab ke sawan me ghata
banke gire hai aansu
ehsaan zindagi ne dikhaye na, phir kabhi

Life's mercies, never shown, not again,
Life's mercies, never shown, not again,
Her gaze, returning, never again.

We laughed but once,
To weep until empty,
We laughed but once,
To weep until empty,
From eyes, we shed tears, not again.

This monsoon, as clouds,
Tears have fallen,
This monsoon, as clouds,
Tears have fallen,
After ages, they laughed openly, tears,
After ages, they laughed openly, tears,
This monsoon, as clouds,
Tears have fallen.

In joy of your return, what kind of lamps,
In joy of your return, what kind of lamps,
On dried lashes, at dusk, tears burn,
On dried lashes, at dusk, tears burn,
This monsoon, as clouds,
Tears have fallen,
Life's mercies, never shown, not again.
