aaj humko aaj humko hansaye na koi
aaj rone ko ji chahta hai
or bhi musukuraye na koi
aaj rone ko ji chahta hai

dil hi tut gaya nagma ruth gaya
bulbul kaid hui gulsan chhut gaya
dil hi tut gaya nagma ruth gaya
bulbul kaid hui gulsan chhut gaya
geet hoth pe aaye na koi
geet hoth pe aaye na koi
aaj humko aaj humko hansaye na koi
aaj rone ko ji chahta hai
or bhi musukuraye na koi
aaj rone ko ji chahta hai

aarma rakh huye sapne khak huye
ek ye rup mera dusman lakh huye
aarma rakh huye sapne khak huye
ek ye rup mera dusman lakh huye
achhi surat bi paye na koi
achhi surat bi paye na koi
aaj humko aaj umko hansaye na koi
aaj rone ko ji chahta hai
or bhi musukuraye na koi
aaj rone ko ji chahta hai

Let no laughter grace this day,
For the soul yearns to weep.
Let no smiles light the way,
For the soul yearns to weep.

The heart has shattered, the melody fled,
The nightingale captive, the garden dead.
The heart has shattered, the melody fled,
The nightingale captive, the garden dead.
Let no song touch the lips,
Let no song touch the lips,
Let no laughter grace this day,
For the soul yearns to weep.
Let no smiles light the way,
For the soul yearns to weep.

Desires turned to ash, dreams to dust,
This face, one alone, a thousand foes trust.
Desires turned to ash, dreams to dust,
This face, one alone, a thousand foes trust.
Let no beauty be found,
Let no beauty be found,
Let no laughter grace this day,
For the soul yearns to weep.
Let no smiles light the way,
For the soul yearns to weep.
