hum jante hai jane wale ja ke rhenge
par itna kahenge
tum bhul jao hamko hum yad karenge
tum bhul jao hamko hum yad krenge
hum yad karenge

tum jante ho janne wale ja ke rahenge
par itna kahenge
tum bhul jao hamko hum yad krenge
hum yad karenge
tum bhul jao hamko hum yad krenge
hum yad karenge

hum jante hai jane wale jake rahenge
koi lakh unhe roke wo nhi rukenge
par itn akahenge
aankhe khulenge ek din wo aake milenge
wo aake milenge
aankhe khulenge ek din wo aake milenge
wo aake milenge

hum jante hai rahne wale kaise rahenge
ye chalne wale kadam piche na hatenge
par itna kahenge tum bhul jao hamko hum yad krenge
hum yad karengetum bhul jao hamko hum yad krenge
hum yad karenge

hum jante hai bichede hue fir se milenge
na dil me ye diwaani umange rahengi na
aankho me ye matwaale rang rahenge
par itn akahenge
tum bhul jao hamko hum yad krenge
hum yad karengehum yad karenge

We know the departing must depart,
Yet whisper this into your heart:
Forget us, though you must, we'll keep you near,
Forget us, though you must, we'll hold you dear,
Remembering you, we will.

You know the parting, destined to unfold,
Yet this we say, as stories are told:
Forget us, though you must, we'll keep you true,
Forget us, though you must, and long for you,
Remembering you, we will.

We know the leaving, they must take their flight,
Though tears may fall, and plead with all their might,
Yet hear us, as our final plea we send:
One day, your eyes will open, and they'll ascend,
They'll come again, they will.
One day, your eyes will open, and they'll transcend,
They'll come again, they will.

We know the living, how they must abide,
These onward steps, that cannot be denied,
Yet whisper this, as echoes softly call:
Forget us, though you must, we'll love through all,
Remembering you, we will.
Forget us, though you must, our souls will call,
Remembering you, we will.

We know the parted, they will meet again,
No longer passions in the heart's domain,
No longer colors in the eyes will gleam,
Yet whisper this, as if it were a dream:
Forget us, though you must…
We'll be remembering, remembering,
We will.
