aye dil na mujhe yad dila bate purani
aye dil na mujhe yad dila bate purani
mai bhul raha bhul raha hu jo kahani
mai bhul raha bhul raha hu jo kahani
aye dil na mujhe yad dila bate purani
wo sanjh gualbi wo madhur chandani
rate wo sanjh gualbi wo madhur chandani rate
un unche pahado ke tale pyar ki bate
un unche pahado ke tale pyar ki bate
sawan ke mahine wo hawa rut wo suhani
sawan ke mahine wo hawa rut wo suhani
mat yad dila yad dila bate purani
mai bhul raha bhul raha hu jo kahani

aye dil na mujhe yad dila bate purani
lo dub raha suraj hui sanjh ki bela
sanjh ki bela dali par koi kuk raha panchi akela panchi akela
aankho me do bund liye hue kal ki kahani kal ki kahani
mat yad dila yad dila bate purani mat
yad dila yad dila bate purani
kismat ne kiya dur mujhe mil na sakega
dali se gira phul hu mai khil na sakunga
khil na sakunga aasu se likhi jati hai meri
ye kahani aasu se likhi jati hai
meri ye kahani aye dil na mujhe yad dila
bate purani aye dil na mujhe yad dila bate purani

O heart, do not awaken echoes of the past,
O heart, do not awaken echoes of the past,
I am forgetting, forgetting all that was amassed,
I am forgetting, forgetting all that was amassed.
O heart, do not awaken echoes of the past.

That rose-hued twilight, that moon's sweet grace,
That rose-hued twilight, that moon's sweet grace,
Beneath the high mountains, love's embrace.
Beneath the high mountains, love's embrace,
The monsoon's whispers, the breeze's gentle pace,
The monsoon's whispers, the breeze's gentle pace.
Do not remind me, remind me of the past's chase,
I am forgetting, forgetting all that was traced.

O heart, do not awaken echoes of the past,
The sun descends, the evening hours amassed,
A lone bird calls, from a branch, shadows cast,
A lone bird calls, from a branch, shadows cast.
In tear-filled eyes, yesterday's tale surpassed,
Do not remind me, remind me of the past's grasp.
Do not remind me, remind me of the past's grasp.
Fate has distanced, meeting will not recast,
I am a fallen bloom, from the branch outcast.
I cannot bloom, tears write this story fast,
I cannot bloom, tears write this story fast.
O heart, do not awaken echoes of the past,
O heart, do not awaken echoes of the past.
