albele din pyare, mere bichhde sath sahare
haye kahan gaye, haye kahan gaye
aankho ke ujiyare, meri suni raat ke taare
haye kahan gaye

koi lauta de mere, beete huye din
koi lauta de mere, beete huye din
beete hue din wo mere pyare pal chhin
koi lauta de mere, beete huye din
koi lauta de mere, beete huye din

mere khwabo ke mahal, mere sapno ke nagar
pee liya jinke liye, maine jivan ka zehar
aaj main dhundhu kahan, kho gaye jane kidhar
aaj main dhundhu kahan, kho gaye jane kidhar
beete hue din wo haye, pyare pal chhin
koi lauta de mere, beete huye din
koi lauta de mere, beete huye din

o main akela to na tha, the mere saathi kai
ek aandhi si uthi, jo bhi tha leke gayi
aise bhi din the kabhi, meri duniya thi meri
aise bhi din the kabhi, meri duniya thi meri
beete hue din wo haye, pyare pal chhin
koi lauta de mere, beete huye din
beete hue din wo mere pyare pal chhin
koi lauta de mere, beete huye din
koi lauta de mere, beete huye din

Those carefree days, beloved, my lost supports,
Alas, where have they gone, alas, where have they gone?
The light of my eyes, stars of my silent nights,
Alas, where have they gone?

Someone return to me, the days that have passed,
Someone return to me, the days that have passed,
Those past days, my beloved moments, gone too fast,
Someone return to me, the days that have passed,
Someone return to me, the days that have passed.

Oh, the castles of my dreams, cities of my sleep,
For whom I drank, the poison of life, so deep,
Where do I search now, where did they go to keep?
Where do I search now, where did they go to keep?
Those past days, alas, beloved moments, gone too fast,
Someone return to me, the days that have passed,
Someone return to me, the days that have passed.

Oh, I was not alone, I had so many friends,
A storm arose, and all it possessed, it sends,
There were such days, when my world was all mine,
There were such days, when my world was all mine,
Those past days, alas, beloved moments, gone too fast,
Someone return to me, the days that have passed,
Those past days, my beloved moments, gone too fast,
Someone return to me, the days that have passed,
Someone return to me, the days that have passed.
