asha asha asha asha asha o asha o asha o asha
tujhe kya hua kya hua na kaho mujhe asha
mai to ho gayi nirasha asha o asha o asha

kaisi gum ki sham aayi dil me rah gayi dil ki bat
rat aayegi ye umar ki leke khushiyo ki barat
leke khushiyo ki barat shakh dil ki jal gayi jab
fir bahar aayi to kya ye fiza to de rahi
phul khilne ka pata phul khilne ka pata
koi ab kuch bhi kahe mai to ban gayi tamsha
asha o asha o asha

samne aayi thi manjil aake fir kyu kho gayi
ek nayi manjil se wo sharmake wapis ho gayi
sharmake wapis ho gayi apni aankho me naye
sapne sajalu is tarah waqt aane par badal jata hai
mausam jis tarah ha us tarah jo kabhi suni na thi
mai samjh gayi wo bhasa asha mai asha mujhe kya hua

Hope, hope, hope, hope, hope, oh hope, oh hope, oh hope,
What has become of you? What has happened? Say not, Hope.
I have become despair, Hope, oh Hope, oh Hope.

What a sorrowful evening descends, heart whispers of its secrets,
Night will come, this life's age, bearing a procession of joy,
Bearing a procession of joy, when the heart's branch burns,
Then, if spring returns, what is this air offering?
The hint of blossoms blooming, the hint of blossoms blooming.
Let no one speak now, I have become a spectacle,
Hope, oh Hope, oh Hope.

The destination was before me, why then did it vanish?
From a new destination, it shyly turned back,
Shyly turned back, in my own eyes, new dreams I will weave,
In this way, time changes,
The seasons change just so, yes, just so, that which I never heard,
I understood that language, Hope, what has happened to me?
