yunhi dil ne chaahaa thaa ronaa rulaanaa
teri yaad to ban gayi ik bahaanaa
yunhi dil ne chaahaa thaa ronaa rulaanaa
teri yaad to ban gayi ik bahaanaa

hame bhi nahi ilm, ham jis pe roe
vo biti rute hai ke aataa zamaanaa
vo biti rute hai ke aataa zamaanaa
teri yaad to ban gayi ik bahaanaa

gam-e-dil hai aur gam-e-zindagi bhi
na isakaa thikaanaa na usakaa thikaanaa
gam-e-dil hai aur gam-e-zindagi bhi
na isakaa thikaanaa na usakaa thikaanaa
na isakaa thikaanaa na usakaa thikaanaa
teri yaad to ban gayi ik bahaanaa

koi kisape tadape, koi kisape roe
idhar dil jalaa hai, udhar aashiyaanaa
idhar dil jalaa hai, udhar aashiyaanaa
teri yaad to ban gayi ik bahaanaa
yunhi dil ne chaahaa thaa ronaa rulaanaa
teri yaad to ban gayi ik bahaanaa

The heart desired tears, a weeping show,
Your memory, the reason it would flow.
The heart desired tears, a weeping show,
Your memory, the reason it would flow.

We knew not why the tears would start to fall,
Were they of seasons past, or time to call?
Were they of seasons past, or time to call?
Your memory, the reason it would fall.

The sorrow of the heart, life's heavy plight,
No solace found, no ending in the night.
The sorrow of the heart, life's heavy plight,
No solace found, no ending in the night.
No solace found, no ending in the night.
Your memory, the reason it would fall.

For whom does one lament, and for whom weep?
Here burns the heart, there nests now softly sleep.
Here burns the heart, there nests now softly sleep.
Your memory, the reason it would sleep.
The heart desired tears, a weeping show,
Your memory, the reason it would flow.
