aye jamane bata do dilo ki khata
humko barbad karke tujhe kya mila
humko barbad karke tujhe kya mila
aye jamane bata do dilo ki khata
humko barbad karke tujhe kya mila
humko barbad karke tujhe kya mila

phul khilne na paye ki murjha gaye
haye kaisi musibat me hum aa gaye
hoth sine pade aansu pine pade
jindagi me nahi jindagi ka maja
aye jamane bata aa aa jamane bata

rah gaye dil me araman dam tod ke
hum pe hasti hai takdir muh mod ke
pyar ke din gaye hmse wo chhin gaye
phul se ho gayi aaj khushbu juda
aye jamane bata aa aa jamane bata

dil ke tukde huye dard badhne laga
bante bante mukadar bigadne laga
tum udhar hum idhar, dil ko ab hai ye dar haye
tum udahr hum idhar, dil ko ab hai ye dar
tum samajh lo na humko kahi bevafa
tum samajh lo na humko kahi bevafa
aye jamane bata aa aa jamane bata
aye jamane bata do dilo ki khata
humko barbad karke tujhe kya mila

Tell me, O Time, the sin of hearts,
What prize did you win in our ruins?
What prize did you win in our ruins?
Tell me, O Time, the sin of hearts,
What prize did you win in our ruins?
What prize did you win in our ruins?

Blossoms could not bloom before they wilted,
Alas, in what hardship have we fallen?
Lips must be stitched, tears must be swallowed,
Life in life, the taste is lost,
Tell me, O Time, oh, tell me Time.

Desires remain, breathing their last,
Fate laughs at us, turning its face away,
The two of love, they stole them from us,
From the flower, fragrance is now estranged,
Tell me, O Time, oh, tell me Time.

The heart shattered, the pain did grow,
Fate unraveled, just as it was being made,
You there, we here, this fear the heart now knows,
You there, we here, this fear the heart now knows,
Do not mistake us for the faithless ones,
Do not mistake us for the faithless ones,
Tell me, O Time, oh, tell me Time.
Tell me, O Time, the sin of hearts,
What prize did you win in our ruins?
