kho gaya jane kaha aarzuo ka jaha
kho gaya jane kaha aarzuo ka jaha
muddate gujari magar yaad hai vo dastaa
kho gaya jane kaha aarzuo ka jaha
kho gaya jane kaha

daag mit sakte nahi dil the teri yaad ke
kis tarah bhule koi gujre baharo ka samaa
kho gaya jane kaha aarzuo ka jaha
kho gaya jane kaha

jindagi viran hai ek sahra ki tarah
jindagi viran hai ek sahra ki tarah
dil mera betab hai mauj-e-dariya ki tarah
dil mera betab hai mauj-e-dariya ki tarah
gam ki mai tasveer hu
gam ki mai tasveer hu bekasi ki dastaa
kho gaya jane kaha aarzuo ka jaha
kho gaya jane kaha

kaafile aate rahe kaafile jate rahe
meri manjil ka magar na mila mujhko nishaan
kho gaya jane kaha aarzuo ka jaha
muddate gujari magar yaad hai vo dastaa
kho gaya jane kaha aarzuo ka jaha
kho gaya jane kaha

Lost, I know not where, the world of longing, lost,
Lost, I know not where, the world of longing,
Ages have passed, but memory's tale remains,
Lost, I know not where, the world of longing,
Lost, I know not where.

The scars cannot be erased from the heart, your memory,
As one forgets the spring's fleeting sight,
Lost, I know not where, the world of longing,
Lost, I know not where.

Life is desolate, like a desert's expanse,
Life is desolate, like a desert's expanse,
My heart restless, like ocean's wave,
My heart restless, like ocean's wave,
I am the portrait of sorrow, ah, ah, ah,
I am the portrait of sorrow, a tale of helplessness,
Lost, I know not where, the world of longing,
Lost, I know not where.

Caravans came and caravans departed,
But of my destination, I found no trace,
Lost, I know not where, the world of longing,
Ages have passed, but memory's tale remains,
Lost, I know not where, the world of longing,
Lost, I know not where.
