kitne din aankhe tarsengi
kitne din aankhe tarsengi, kitne din yu dil tarasenge
ek din badal to barsenge, eye mere pyase dil
aaj nahi to kal mahakegi khwabo ki mahfil
kitne din aankhe tarasengi

sune sune se murjhaye se hai, kyu ummido ke chehre
kato ke sar pe hai bandhe jayenge, phulo ke sahre
sune sune se murjhaye se hai, kyu ummido ke chehre
kato ke sar pe hai bandhe jayenge, phulo ke sahre
naya jamana aayega, naya jamana aayega
kitne din kitne din yu dil tarsenge
ek din badal to barsenge, eye mere pyase dil
aaj nahi to kal mahakegi khwabo ki mahfil

zindagi pe sab ek sa hak hai, kab tak sahan karenge
sari khusiya sare dard barabar, hum tak seem karenge
zindagi pe sab ek sa hak hai, kab tak sahan karenge
sari khusiya sare dard barabar, hum tak seem karenge
naya zamana aayega, naya zamana aayega
kitne din kitne din yu dil tarsenge
ek din badal to barsenge, eye mere pyase dil
aaj nahi to kal mahakegi khwabo ki mahfil
kitne din aankhe tarasengi

How many suns will the eyes endure,
How many dawns will the heart yearn?
A day will come when the clouds pour,
Upon this thirsting soul.
If not today, then tomorrow, the gathering of dreams will bloom,
How many suns will the eyes endure.

Why are the faces of hope,
So desolate, so withered?
On thorns will buds be bound,
The refuge of flowers.
Why are the faces of hope,
So desolate, so withered?
On thorns will buds be bound,
The refuge of flowers.
A new era will arrive,
A new era will arrive,
How many days, how many days will the heart yearn?
A day will come when the clouds pour,
Upon this thirsting soul.
If not today, then tomorrow, the gathering of dreams will bloom.

Life holds equal claim for all,
How long will we be silent?
All joys, all sorrows,
We will embrace them all.
