thi aabad jinse chaman ki gali
thi aabad jinse chaman ki gali
wo lekar gaye khawab ki har kali
mile khakh me gulsita kaise kaise
zamane ne mare jawa kaise kaise
zami kha gayi aasma kaise kaise
zamane ne mare jawa kaise kaise

lahu banke bahne de aansu tamam
ke hoga inhi se baharo ka naam
banege abhi aashiya kaise kaise
zamane ne mare jawa kaise kaise
zami kha gayi aasma kaise kaise
zamane ne mare jawa kaise kaise

The garden's lane, once vibrant and bright,
Now robbed of dreams, each bud took flight.
How the rose gardens turned to dust,
By ages' cruel, heart-piercing thrust.
How the earth devoured the heavens' grace,
By ages' cruel, heart-piercing chase.

Let tears, like crimson rivers, flow,
From their sorrow, new springs will grow.
How nests of promise will arise,
By ages' cruel, tear-filled skies.
How the earth devoured the heavens' grace,
By ages' cruel, heart-piercing chase.
