saye saye bitey dino ke saye gehre wo lot aaye
laye laye sehra ke jaye rukhe zasbat sath laye

patjhado mein jhad gayi hai apni har khushi
zehar sasein phookti hai har pal bebasi
khushrang si subha khushbu bhari saba
tohfe mein de rakhi thi humko zindagi ne
kyu waqt bewajah unhe chin le gaya
zehmat bhi na ki sochne ki ye kisi ne
kisi ne kisi ne

raakh hue hai jal ke hamare ghonsle
chot khaye jakhmi hai saare honsle
kyu na gire patte naye fir chanaro pe
hum nadiyan kyu na bhare daraaro pe
khush rang si subah khushbu bhari saba
tohfe mein de rakhi thi humko zindagi ne
kyu waqt bewajah unhe chin legaya
zehmat bhi na ki sochne ki ye kisi ne

kyo waqt bewajah unhe chin lagaya
zehmat bhi na ki sochne ki ye kisi ne kisi ne

Shadows of bygone days, deep shadows, they return,
Bearing the desert's desolate child, bringing arid emotions.

In autumn's fall, our victories, like leaves, have shed,
Poisoned breaths, despair's embrace, each moment spread.
A vibrant dawn, a fragrant breeze, a morning's kiss,
Life, once, as a gift, had offered us this bliss.
Why did time, unbidden, steal them away?
Without a thought, no one paused to say.
No one, no one.

Ashes remain, our nests consumed by fire's sting,
Bruised and wounded, our spirits take wing.
Why don't new leaves grace the plane trees' height?
Why don't we, like rivers, fill the cracks with light?
A vibrant dawn, a fragrant breeze, a morning's kiss,
Life, once, as a gift, had offered us this bliss.
Why did time, unbidden, steal them away?
Without a thought, no one paused to say.

Why did time, unbidden, steal them away?
Without a thought, no one paused to say, no one.
