bachapn hua khatam hai
lagne lagi sharam hai
lo aa gayi jawani
ab pyar ka mausam hai
bachapn hua khatam

kya khub ye umar hai
iska ajab asar hai
jhukne lagi hai palke
tirchhi huyi najar hai
o sach me ye kya julm hai
ab khul gaya bhram
ye baat mat batana
tumko meri kasam
bachapn hua khatam

kaisi ghadi ye aayi
aane lagi angdayi
mujhko meri umariya
kis or khinch layi
o aankho me aaj dum hai
kya masti ka aalam hai
badli hai zindgani
ab jo bhi ho so kam hai
bachapn hua khatam

bachapn hua khatam hai
lagne lagi sharam hai
lo aa gayi jawani
ab pyar ka mausam hai
bachapn hua khatam

Childhood's curtain descends,
A blush now begins to ascend.
Behold, youth unfurls,
Love's season now lends.
Childhood's curtain descends.

What marvel this age holds,
Its magic, my soul beholds.
Eyelashes now gently droop,
Eyes slant, stories unfold.
Oh, what cruelty unfolds?
Illusions now break, unbound.
This truth you must keep,
By my heart's solemn sound.
Childhood's curtain descends.

What moment has arrived,
A languor now revived?
My years, where do you lead,
Where have I now strived?
Oh, in my eyes, life thrives,
What bliss the heart derives!
Life transforms anew,
Whatever comes, survives.
Childhood's curtain descends.

Childhood's curtain descends,
A blush now begins to ascend.
Behold, youth unfurls,
Love's season now lends.
Childhood's curtain ends.
