dukho me jo muskura rahe the
unhe bhi tune rula ke chhoda
dukho me jo muskura rahe the
unhe bhi tune rula ke chhoda

jaha garibi ka tha thikana
wo ghar bhi tune mita ke chhoda
jaha garibi ka tha thikana
wo ghar bhi tune mita ke chhoda

hansi ko teri khushi jo samjhe
jaha pe gham ko hasi jo samjhe
saja aur payi usi rashte par
tujhi ko maana tujhi ko samjhe
unhe bhi ye din dikha ke chhoda
dukho me jo muskura rahe the
unhe bhi tune rula ke chhoda

koi shikayat ya koi shikwa
koi shikayat ya koi shikwa
bata de tujhse kabhi kiya tha
bata de tujhse kabhi kiya tha
jamane bhar ki nazar se chhupke
jo aasu hamne kabhi peeya tha
jamane bhar ki najar se chhupke
jo aasu hamne kabhi peeya tha
wo aasu tune gira ke chhoda
dukho me jo muskura rahe the
unhe bhi tune rula ke chhoda

The ones who smiled through every ache,
Even they, you brought to tears.
The ones who smiled through every ache,
Even they, you brought to tears.

Where poverty had made its home,
That dwelling, too, you swept away.
Where poverty had made its home,
That dwelling, too, you swept away.

Where laughter danced with joy's embrace,
Where sorrow's form was met with mirth,
Punishment was found in that same space,
Believing only in your worth.
Even they, you let this day endure,
The ones who smiled through every ache,
Even they, you brought to tears.

Did we ever, with a single plea,
Did we ever, with a single plea,
Complain to you, accuse you now?
In secret, from the world's harsh eye,
The tears we swallowed somehow.
In secret, from the world's harsh eye,
The tears we swallowed somehow.
Those tears, at last, you made to fall.
The ones who smiled through every ache,
Even they, you brought to tears.
