ek gum ka din bhi aaya do din ki zindagi me
barbaad ho gaye hum ae dil hsi hsi me
ek gum ka din bhi aaya

aey chand chandani me duniya basaney wale
aey chand chandani me duniya basaney wale
luute hai besahare
luute hai besahare taaro ki roshani me
ek gum ka din bhi aaya do din ki zindagi me
barbaad ho gaye hum ae dil hsi hsi me
ek gum ka din bhi aaya

afsane gum ke lakho dalenge hosh wale
dalenge hosh wale
muh se nikal gayi hai muh se nikal gayi hai
ek baat bekhudi me
ek gum ka din bhi aaya do din ki zindagi me
barbaad ho gaye hum ae dil hsi hsi me
ek gum ka din bhi aaya

itna nahi ke dil dharas bandhaye koi
dharas bandhaye koi dharas bandhaye koi
jhuthi tasliya thi jhuthi tasliya thi
kafi hai bekasi me
ek gum ka din bhi aaya do din ki zindagi me
barbaad ho gaye hum a dil hsi hsi me
ek gum ka din bhi aaya

A day of sorrow dawned, in a life so brief,
We're ruined, my heart, amidst laughter's relief.
A day of sorrow dawned.

O moon, who in silver, a world did create,
O moon, who in silver, did build our fate,
The helpless are plundered,
The helpless are plundered, in starlight's estate.
A day of sorrow dawned, in a life so brief,
We're ruined, my heart, amidst laughter's relief.
A day of sorrow dawned.

Tales of grief, millions, the conscious will weave,
The conscious will weave,
From the mouth it escaped, from the mouth it escaped,
A word in un-belief.
A day of sorrow dawned, in a life so brief,
We're ruined, my heart, amidst laughter's relief.
A day of sorrow dawned.

Not enough, that the heart finds solace to mend,
Solace to mend, solace to mend,
False consolations, false consolations,
Suffice in the end.
A day of sorrow dawned, in a life so brief,
We're ruined, my heart, amidst laughter's relief.
A day of sorrow dawned.
