kyoon yaad aa rahe hain, guzrey huay zamaane
ye dukh bhare fasaane, rotay hue taraane
kisko suna rahe hain, kyoon yaad rahe hain

yoon muskuraa rahe hain, dekho agar to samjho
aansu bahaa rahe hain, yoon muskuraa rahe hain
dekho agar to samjho, aansu bahaa rahe hain
kyoon yaad aa rahe hain, guzrey hue zamaane

kyaa baat hai na jaane, kyoon hichkiyon ki lay pe
gaate hain gam ke gaane, kyaa baat hai na jaane
kyoon hichkiyon ki lay pe, gaate hain gham ke gaane
hum bhor ke diye hain, hum bhor ke diye hain
bujhte hi jaa rahe hain, kyoon yaad aa rahe hain
guzrey huay zamaane

Why linger the ghosts of yesteryear's grace,
These tales of sorrow, a tear-soaked embrace?
We sing of lament, for whose listening ear,
Why do these memories so relentlessly appear?

A smile etched on the face, if you truly see,
A torrent of weeping, a silent decree.
The smile hides the sorrow, a masquerade's art,
Why linger these echoes, that tear at the heart?

What secret resides, in the hiccup's refrain,
As grief's mournful ballad, repeats and repeats again?
We sing of lament, in a rhythm of woe,
We are dawn's fading candles, where shadows grow.
We are dawn's dying embers, extinguished with speed,
Why do these memories so deeply bleed?
These ghosts of the past, in their relentless hold.
