yaad aaye wo din, jaane kyun tere bin
aajkal jindagi lag rahi ajanabi
yaad aaye wo din, jaane kyun tere bin
aajkal jindagi lag rahi ajanabi
aise haalaat me koyi kaise jiye
ek khushi ke liye kitne aansu piye
kitne aansu piye
kitne aansu piye, ek khushi ke liye kitne aansu piye

jaane kya sochkar meri aankh bharne lagi
yeh fiza muhse kyun teri baat karne lagi
puchhte hai ye manjar inse kahu
pyaar ke naam par tune dhokhe diye
kitne aansu piye
kitne aansu piye, ek khushi ke liye kitne aansu piye

jaane gham aate hi teri yaad aaye mujhe
umarr bhar ye wafa yu hi aajmaaye mujhe
koyi shikwa nahi tujhse ja bewafa
bhool jaaunga jo tune waade kiye
kitne aansu piye
kitne aansu piye, ek khushi ke liye kitne aansu piye

The days we knew, why now, without you,
Life feels a stranger, a face unknown.
The days we knew, why now, without you,
Life feels a stranger, a seed unsown.

In such a state, how can one survive?
For a fleeting joy, how many tears cried?
How many tears cried?
How many tears cried, for joy's brief gleam, how many tears cried?

Lost in thought, my eyes begin to weep,
Why does this air speak only of you, so deep?
The landscapes ask, what should I say?
In love's name, you offered deceit's sway.
How many tears cried?
How many tears cried, for joy's brief gleam, how many tears cried?

As sorrow descends, your memory appears,
This lifetime of devotion, tested by fears.
No complaint I have, depart, faithless one,
I shall forget all the promises you spun.
How many tears cried?
How many tears cried, for joy's brief gleam, how many tears cried?
