sapne saja kar apna bana kar
apno ne dhokha diya
kaise kahenge humko hamare
sapno ne dhokha diya sapne saja kar

mangi thi humne chahat ki khushiya
ruswai humko mili dil ko mile gam
aankho ko aansu tanhai humko mili
us bewafa ne humko wafa ka
inam aisa diya
sapne saja kar apna bana kar
apno ne dhokha diya sapne saja kar

sikwa nahi hai koi kisi se
koi shikayat nahi kyu jee rahe hai
jab koi humko jeene ki chahat nahi
dil bujh gaya hai to kyu jal raha hai
ye zindagi kla diya
sapne saja kar apna bana kar
apno ne dhokha diya
kaise kahenge humko hamare
sapno ne dhokha diya sapne saja kar

We built our dreams, made them our own,
Only to be betrayed by those we'd known.
How can we say, how can we bear,
That even our dreams have dealt despair?

We sought the joy that love imparts,
But scorn and sorrow pierced our hearts.
Tears welled in eyes, loneliness took hold,
From the faithless one, a story to be told:
This was the reward, this cruel design,
For our devotion, yours and mine.
We built our dreams, made them our own,
Only to be betrayed by those we'd known.

No complaint we voice, no blame we cast,
Why do we linger, holding to the past?
When the will to live has flown away,
Why does the heart still burn, though cold the day?
This lamp of life, flickering and frail,
We built our dreams, our spirit's tale,
Only to be betrayed by those we'd known.
How can we say, how can we bear,
That even our dreams have dealt despair?
