aaj rona pada to samjhe, hansne ka mol kya hai
apna sapna khona pada to samjhe
aaj rona pada to samjhe, hansne ka mol kya hai
apna sapna khona pada toh samjhe
khwabo ki hakikat kya thi
armano ki kimat kya thi apno ki mohabbat kya thi
gair hona pada to samjhe aaj rona pada to samjhe

sukh milta hai kis mushkil se kya karti hai duniya dil se
is rang bhari mehfil se dur hona pada to samjhe
aaj rona pada to samjhe
nikle the jinhe apnane wo, log the sab begane
is bat ko ham diwane, chain khona pada to samjhe
aaj rona pada to samjhe
hansne ka mol kya hai apna sapna khona pada to samjhe

When tears unveiled the laughter's worth,
And dreams, dismantled, showed their birth,
When sorrow struck, a bitter sting,
Then did the soul begin to sing.

What truth in dreams, what price of plea,
What love in kin, for all to see?
To be estranged, a world apart,
Then did the aching, break the heart.

What solace sought in trials deep,
What games the worldly heart does keep?
To flee the vibrant, painted scene,
Then did the loss, the soul convene.

Those whom we sought to hold so near,
Were strangers cloaked in doubt and fear.
This truth revealed, in madness bound,
When peace was lost, the truth was found.

When tears unveiled the laughter's worth,
And dreams, dismantled, showed their birth.
