bhigi huwi koyi sham wo mehka huwa koyi nam wo
bin bat hi hoti hai nilam wo
mashhur hai phir bhi badnam wo
janey huwa hai aaj kya hame na ham
janey kyun hamko yad aaye wo

abb iss tarha usko sochta hu
gujre huwe wo pal rokta hu
wo pal kahi kho gaye hain jo apne
aur sath bhi ho gaye hain jo sapne
janey huwa hai aaj kya hame na ham
janey kyun hamko yad aaye wo

wo roshni wo aag hai ya phir koyi chirag hai
jisse dhire dhire hai jalna
jisse iss tarha hi hai chalna
kissi mod pe wo aaj bhi kandil si jalegi
shaher ki dhup si bewakt hi dhhalegi kyun hamko yad
bhigi huwi koyi sham wo mehka huwa koyi nam wo
bin bat hi hoti hai nilam wo
mashhur hai phir bhi badnam wo
janey huwa hai aaj kya hame na ham
janey kyun hamko yad aaye wo

A soaked evening, a fragrant name,
Auctioned off for no spoken claim.
Famous, yet stained with a shadowed stain,
What's happened to us, we can't explain.
Why does their ghost now haunt our brain?

I think of them now, consumed by thought,
Trying to grasp the moments they'd brought.
Those moments, they've vanished, gone astray,
And dreams, too, have faded away.
What's happened to us, we can't explain.
Why does their ghost now haunt our brain?

Are they light, a fire's fierce embrace,
Or a lamp, burning in time and space?
Destined to flicker, to softly burn,
Destined to walk, at every turn.
Perhaps at a bend, their flame still gleams,
Like city sunlight, lost in dreams.
Why does their ghost now haunt our brain?

A soaked evening, a fragrant name,
Auctioned off for no spoken claim.
Famous, yet stained with a shadowed stain,
What's happened to us, we can't explain.
Why does their ghost now haunt our brain?
