jamane se puchho mere dil se puchho
mai khush hu nahi hu, tumhe kya pata
sabhi sath hai par mai hu akela
andhera bada yeh dil bujh gaya
din rat rat mai hu jagta, har khwab khwab tujhko mangta
yahi pyar pyar ka hai wasta
mere jindagi ka to hai hadsa
mere humsafar tum kaha kho gaye ho, yeh kya ho gaya

nagmo ko mere sunkar hamesha roti ho kyo tum
kyo khud se khafa
khato ko mere tum sine se lagakar
sisakti ho tum kyu tum hai kiski khata
yeh kya ho gaya, jamane se puchho mere dil se puchho
mai khush hu nahi hu, tumhe kya pata

tum toh safar me mere hamsafar the
kahan kho gaye ho yeh kya ho gaya
pal jo hamesha khushi se bhara tha
woh pal hame ab rulane laga hai
yeh kya ho gaya
jamane se puchho mere dil se puchho
mai khush hu nahi hu, tumhe kya pata
din rat rat mai hu jagta, har khwab khwab tujhko mangata
yahi pyar pyar kaa hai vasta
mere jindagi kaa toh hain hadsa
mere humsafar tum kaha kho gaye ho
ye kya ho gaya

Ask the world, ask my heart,
If I am happy, what do you know?
All are near, yet I stand alone,
Darkness vast, my spirit dimmed low.

Through day and night, I remain awake,
Each dream, each wish, for you I crave,
This love, this bond, a sacred stake,
My life's tale, a tragic grave.
My companion, where did you stray?
What has become of this day?

Hearing my songs, you always weep,
Why this sorrow, this self-disdain?
Clutching my letters close, so deep,
Why the sobs, whose is the pain?
What has become, ask the world,
Ask my heart, if I am happy, what do you know?

You were my journey's truest mate,
Where have you vanished, what's befallen?
The moment once filled, sealed by fate,
Now with tears, our hearts are thrallened.
What has become,
Ask the world, ask my heart,
If I am happy, what do you know?
Through day and night, I remain awake,
Each dream, each wish, for you I crave,
This love, this bond, a sacred stake,
My life's tale, a tragic grave.
My companion, where have you stray?
What has become of this day?
