ghar yahaa basaane aaye the
ham ghar hi chhod chale
ham ghar hi chhod chale
ghar yahaa basaane aaye the
apna tha jinhen samjhaa humne
wo bhi dil tod chale
ham ghar hi chhod chale
ghar yahaa basaane aaye the

socha tha sajan aayenge, aayenge bahaare layenge
ham ek chaman ke do panchhi ban jaayenge
ham ek chaman ke do panchhi ban jaayenge
sandhya ki bela dwaar pe aa kar wo munh mod chale
ham ghar hi chhod chale
ghar yahaa basaane aaye the

jivan mein kabhi ik pyaar ka dipak jalta tha
milne ke liye dil ghul-ghul ke machalta tha
milne ke liye dil ghul-ghul ke machalta tha
jab saath patanga chhod diya
jab saath patanga chhod diya
to deeya akel jale
ham ghar hi chhod chale
ghar yahaa basaane aaye the

We came to build a home here,
But left the home behind.
We left the home behind.
We came to build a home here,
Those we thought were ours,
They too, shattered the heart, and left us behind.
We left the home behind.
We came to build a home here.

We dreamt our loves would come,
And bring the spring.
We, two birds of a garden, would become one.
We, two birds of a garden, would become one.
At dusk, at the door, they turned away.
We left the home behind.
We came to build a home here.

Once, a lamp of love flickered in life,
The heart, dissolving, yearned to meet.
The heart, dissolving, yearned to meet.
When the moth departed,
When the moth departed,
The lamp was left to burn alone.
We left the home behind.
We came to build a home here.
