ab se pahle to ye dil ki halat na thi
ab se pahle to ye dil ki halat na thi
aaj kya ho gaya, aaj kya ho gaya
aaj kya ho gaya, aaj kya ho gaya
zindagi dusaro ki amanat na thi
aaj kya ho gaya, aaj kya ho gaya
ab se pahle to ye dil ki halat na thi
ab se pahle to ye dil ki halat na thi
aaj kya ho gaya, aaj kya ho gaya
aaj kya ho gaya, aaj kya ho gaya

koi dekhe hume, koi chahe hume, aur sarahe hume
koi dekhe hume, koi chahe hume, aur sarahe hume
ye tamanna ye khwahish ye hasrat na thi
ye tamanna ye khwahish ye hasrat na thi
aaj kya ho gaya, aaj kya ho gaya
ab se pahle, pahle
ab se pahle to ye dil ki halat na thi
aaj kya ho gaya, aaj kya ho gaya
aaj kya ho gaya, aaj kya ho gaya

apne adaaz par naaz karte the hum humko apni kasam
pne adaaz par naaz karte the hum humko apni kasam
gair se baat karne ki fursat na thi
gair se baat karne ki fursat na thi
aaj kya ho gaya, aaj kya ho gaya
ab se pahle, pahle
ab se pahle to ye dil ki halat na thi
aaj kya ho gaya, aaj kya ho gaya
aaj kya ho gaya, aaj kya ho gaya

Before, the heart knew no such tide,
Before, the heart knew no such sway.
What has happened now, what has now transpired?
What has happened now, this very day?
Life, a trust held, not mine to keep,
What has happened now, what has now transpired?
Before, the heart knew no such weep,
Before, the heart knew no such fire.
What has happened now, what has now transpired?
What has happened now, this very day?

To be seen, to be loved, to be praised,
To be seen, to be loved, to be held dear,
Such longing, such yearning, no dream was raised,
Such longing, such yearning, was never here.
What has happened now, what has now transpired?
Before, before,
Before, the heart knew no such tear.
What has happened now, what has now transpired?
What has happened now, this very year?

Pride in myself, in my every guise,
I swear by myself, and all I claim,
No time to converse with foreign eyes,
No time, no solace, just the same.
What has happened now, what has now transpired?
Before, before,
Before, the heart knew not the flame.
What has happened now, what has now transpired?
What has happened now, this very game?
