kabhi kabhi yuhi humne apne ji ko behlaya hai
kabhi kabhi yuhi humne apne ji ko behlaya hai
jin baato ko khud nahi samjhe, auro ko samjhaya hai
kabhi kabhi yuhi humne apne ji ko behlaya hai

humse puchho izzat walo ki izzat ka haal kabhi
humse puchho izzat walo
humne bhi is shehar me rahkar
thoda naam kamaya hai
kabhi kabhi yuhi humne apne ji ko behlaya hai

usse bichhde barso beete lekin aaj na jane kyu
usse bichhde barso beete lekin aaj na jane kyu
aangan me hanste baccho ko bekaran dhamkaya hai
kabhi kabhi yuhi humne apne ji ko behlaya hai

koi mila to hath milaya, kahin gaye to baate ki
koi mila to hath milaya, kahin gaye to baate ki
ghar se bahar jab bhi nikle, din bhar bojh uthaya hai
kabhi kabhi yuhi humne apne ji ko behlaya hai
jin baato ko khud nahi samjhe, auro ko samjhaya hai
kabhi kabhi yuhi humne apne ji ko behlaya hai

Sometimes, just like that, we've soothed our souls,
Sometimes, just like that, we've soothed our souls.
The things we couldn't grasp, we've told to others, whole.
Sometimes, just like that, we've soothed our souls.

Ask us, if you dare, of honour’s fragile thread,
Ask us, if you dare,
We too, within this city's sprawl,
Have earned a name, a word that's said.
Sometimes, just like that, we've soothed our souls.

Years have passed since we were torn apart, but now,
Years have passed, but now, a reason lost somehow,
We've scolded laughing children in the sun's warm bow.
Sometimes, just like that, we've soothed our souls.

When we meet, we shake hands, when we go, we speak,
When we meet, we shake hands, when we go, we speak.
Each time we stepped outside, a heavy weight we seek.
Sometimes, just like that, we've soothed our souls.
The things we couldn't grasp, we've told to others, whole.
Sometimes, just like that, we've soothed our souls.
