khushi ke sath duniya me, hajaro gam bhi hote hai
jaha bajti hai shahnayi, vaha matam bhi hote hai
mera jivan sathi bichhad gaya, lo khatam kahani ho gayi
lo khatam kahani ho gayi
mera jivan sathi bichhad gaya, lo khatam kahani ho gayi
lo khatam kahani ho gayi

qismat ne kiye jo dil pe sitam do chahnevale mil na sake
qismat ne kiye jo dil pe sitam do chahnevale mil na sake
kahne ko bahar aai thi magar
do phul khushi ke khil na sake
kahne ko bahar aai thi magar
do phul khushi ke khil na sake
armano ka gulashan ujad gaya, barabad javani ho gayi
lo khatam kahani ho gayi

dil deke yaha sab har gaye duniya me hamari jit kaha
dil deke yaha sab har gaye duniya me hamari jit kaha
hotho pe hai shikve qismat ke vo pyar bhare ab git kaha
hotho pe hai shikve qismat ke vo pyar bhare ab git kaha
jab khel hi dil ka bigad gaya, har baat purani ho gayi
lo khatam kahani ho gayi

In the theatre of time, joy's dance,
A million sorrows find their trance.
Where wedding bells their music weave,
A mourning hush the winds receive.
My life's companion, now withdrawn,
The tale is done, the day is gone.
The tale is done, the day is gone.
My life's companion, now withdrawn,
The tale is done, the day is gone.
The tale is done, the day is gone.

Fate's cruel hand, upon the heart,
Tore lovers' worlds so far apart.
Fate's cruel hand, upon the heart,
Tore lovers' worlds so far apart.
Spring's promise bloomed, a vibrant show,
Yet blossoms of their love, wouldn't grow.
Spring's promise bloomed, a vibrant show,
Yet blossoms of their love, wouldn't grow.
The garden of dreams, now in decay,
My youth now lost, has slipped away.
The tale is done, the day is gone.

With hearts surrendered, all have lost,
Where victory’s gleam, how high the cost?
With hearts surrendered, all have lost,
Where victory’s gleam, how high the cost?
On lips, complaints of fate now stay,
Where love songs once did light the way?
On lips, complaints of fate now stay,
Where love songs once did light the way?
When love's game falters, starts to bend,
Each memory fades, now in the end.
The tale is done, the day is gone.
