dil me basa ke meet bana ke
bhul naa jana prit puraani
bhul naa jana, dil me basa ke

ye meri khamosh nigaahe
jalte aansu, thandi aahe, le ja
le ja ye dil ka najrana, bhul naa jana preet purani
bhul naa jana, dil me basa ke

aaj bahaare ruth chali hain
dil ki ummide toot chali hain
aaj bahaare ruth chali hain, chhlak raha
chhlak raha gum ka paimana
bhul naa jana prit purani
bhul naa jana, dil me basa ke

Within my heart, you built your throne,
A friend you made, now left unknown.
Forget not, love, of days now gone.
Forget not, love, within my soul enthroned.

These silent eyes, a mournful gaze,
With burning tears and sighs that graze,
Take them, these offerings of the heart.
Forget not, love, the fading start.
Forget not, love, within my soul enthroned.

The springs of joy have turned away,
The heart's desires begin to fray.
The springs of joy have turned to stone,
The cup of sorrow overflows, alone.
Forget not, love, of days now gone.
Forget not, love, within my soul enthroned.
