khwab tha khwab sa, ya tha sach koi
dekha jagti aankho ne tha jo
tha bura ya bhala, socha hi nahi
mera dil na jane kya tha wo
khwab tha khwab sa, ya tha sach koi
dekha jagti aankho ne tha jo
tha bura ya bhala, socha hi nahi
mera dil na jane kya tha wo
na wo sathi, na wo saya, phir bhi chala, sath mere
yado sa wo, vado sa wo, din sa dhala, sath mere

uski bate tukda tukda, maine yado me sambhali hai
janu na kyu
uski yade dhire dhire, maine sathi hi bana li hai
janu na kyu
na wo sathi, na wo saya, phir bhi chala, sath mere
yado sa wo, vado sa wo, din sa dhala, sath mere

jab ye puchhe koi uska aur mera, kya tha rishta bhala
kya mai kahu
wo begana, wo diwana, aise mere sath kyu hai chala ha
kya mai kahu
rahi sa wo, mahi sa wo, jo tha chala, sath mere
yado sa wo, vado sa wo, din sa dhala, sath mere

A dream it was, a fleeting haze, or truth unveiled,
By waking eyes, the vision gauged.
Was it foul, or fair, I did not weigh,
My heart, it knew not what it craved.

My heart, it knew not what it craved.
No comrade he, no shadow near, yet walked he by my side,
Like memories, like vows, the day did fade, where he did bide.

His words, in fragments, I did keep, within my memory's hold,
I know not what.
His echoes softly, I embraced, a companion, brave and bold,
I know not what.
No comrade he, no shadow near, yet walked he by my side,
Like memories, like vows, the day did fade, where he did bide.

When asked of him, and I, what bond did truly bind,
What shall I say?
A stranger, a lover, why did he walk, by my side, I find,
What shall I say?
A traveler he, a lover he, who walked along with me,
Like memories, like vows, the day did fade, for all to see.
