jab yaad kisi ki aati hai, jab yaad kisi ki aati hai
aankho se nind udd jati hai, milane ki lagan tadpati hai
jab yaad kisi ki aati hai, jab yaad kisi ki aati hai
jab yaad kisi ki aati hai

jab in aankho me pyar machal kar rota hai
dil duniya bhar ke gumo me dhuba hota hai
har saans meri ghabrati hai, meri jaan pe ban ban jati hai
jab yaad kisi ki aati hai, jab yaad kisi ki aati hai

hum diwane kaise kaise dukh sahte hai
apne majahe se dur bahvar me rahte hai
hum ko har bah darati hai, kahi dur baha le jati hai
jab yaad kisi ki aati hai, jab yaad kisi ki aati hai

har phul kisi ki yaad me khoya khoya hai
ye sabnam hai ya pyar kisi ka roya hai
jab baag me koyal gaati hai, duniya me bhi uth jati hai
jab yaad kisi ki aati hai, jab yaad kisi ki aati hai
aankho se nind udd jati hai, milane ki lagan tadpati hai
jab yaad kisi ki aati hai, jab yaad kisi ki aati hai
jab yaad kisi ki aati hai

When a memory arrives, when a memory arrives,
Sleep flees from my eyes, yearning sets my soul afire.
The hunger to meet, it makes me desire.
When a memory arrives, when a memory arrives,
When a memory arrives.

When love weeps, surging in these eyes,
The heart drowns in the world's myriad sighs.
Each breath I take is filled with dread, my life it does tire.
When a memory arrives, when a memory arrives.

We, the mad ones, how much sorrow we bear,
Lost from our beloved, in a whirlpool of despair.
Each wave terrifies, it carries me afar,
When a memory arrives, when a memory arrives.

Each flower, in remembrance, is lost and forlorn,
Is this dew, or is it love that has mourned?
When the cuckoo sings in the garden's fire,
The world itself arises, in its desire.
When a memory arrives, when a memory arrives,
Sleep flees from my eyes, yearning sets my soul afire.
When a memory arrives, when a memory arrives,
When a memory arrives.
