zindagi me aaye jab wo din
unhe thukra diya
zindagi me aaye jab wo din
unhe thukra diya
aaj wo thukra chale
aaj wo thukra chale
to dil ne kyu tadpa diya
zindagi me

jab kali dil ki khili to
ho chali ruksat bahar
jab kali dil ki khili to
ho chali ruksat bahar

ae meri ulfat bata de
ae meri ulfat bata de
tune mujhko kya diya
aaj wo thukra chale
aaj wo thukra chale
to dil ne kyu tadpa diya
zindagi me

ek wo hai pyar karna
sikh le jinse koi
ek wo hai pyar karna
sikh le jinse koi
ek mai ke unki ulfat
ek mai ke unki ulfat
ka na kuch badla diya
aaj wo thukra chale
aaj wo thukra chale
to dil ne kyu tadpa diya
zindagi me

When those days bloomed in life,
I cast them aside.
When those days bloomed in life,
I cast them aside.
Now they depart, disdainful,
Now they depart, disdainful,
Why does my heart now ache?
In this life.

When the heart's bud unfurled,
The spring departed.
When the heart's bud unfurled,
The spring departed.

O, my love, now tell me,
O, my love, now tell me,
What have you given me?
Now they depart, disdainful,
Now they depart, disdainful,
Why does my heart now ache?
In this life.

There are those who teach love,
From whom one can learn.
There are those who teach love,
From whom one can learn.
And I, with their love,
And I, with their love,
Have changed nothing at all.
Now they depart, disdainful,
Now they depart, disdainful,
Why does my heart now ache?
In this life.
