meri kahani bhulne wale
meri kahani bhulne wale tera jahan aabad rahe
meri kahani
teri khushi par me mit jau duniya meri barbad rahe
meri kahani

mere git sune duniya ne magar
mera dard koyi na jaan saka, na jaan saka
ek tera sahara tha dil ko, ek tera sahara tha
too bhi naa mujhe pehachan saka
too bhi naa mujhe pehachan saka
bachpan ke woh git purane, aaj tujhe na yaad rahe
meri kahani

me apna fasana keh na saka
mere dil ki tamanna dil me rahi
lo aaj kinare par, lo aaj kinare par aake
armano ki kashti dub gayi
armano ki kashti dub gayi
kismat ko manjur yahi tha, lab par mere fariyad rahe
meri kahani
meri kahani bhulne wale tera jahan aabad rahe

You, who forget my tale,
May your world flourish, hale.
My story…

I would vanish in your joy,
May your world forever employ
My story…

The world has heard my songs, it's true,
But none have known my pain, for you.
You were my heart's only shore,
You, too, did not know me, no more.
Childhood songs, now lost to you,
Forgotten, their echoes untrue.
My story…

I could not speak my tale's despair,
My heart's desire trapped, ensnared there.
Now at the shore, at life's end,
My dreams' boat descends, now bend.
Destiny willed it so, I see,
That on my lips, lament should be.
My story…
You, who forget my tale,
May your world flourish, hale.
