guzar gaya wo zamana kaisa-kaisa
guzar gaya wo zamana kaisa-kaisa
hansi-khushi ki bahar thi jisme
guzar gaya wo zamana kaisa-kaisa
guzar gaya

phul tamannavo ke jitne
qadam-qadam par khilte the
ab wo hi rasta ujda ban hai
jispe hai ana-jana kaisa-kaisa
guzar gaya wo zamana

hansata hua ek raz hai jisse
kona-kona roshan tha aisa bujha ke
aisa bujha ke dubara jisko
mumkin nahi jalana kaisa-kaisa
guzar gaya wo

gaya zamana phir ayega
jane wale janege
gaya zamana phir ayega
jane wale janege
hamko na pahachanega jo koi
ham bhi ham bhi
ham bhi kyun pahachanege
a ja a ja

Ages have passed, each a whispered tale,
Ages have passed, a fading trail.
Joy's blossoms bloomed, a vibrant hue,
Ages have passed, the spring withdrew.
Ages have passed.

Desires like flowers, at every stride,
Once bloomed so bright, now turn aside.
The path now barren, a desolate wood,
Where passing souls misunderstood.
Ages have passed.

A smiling secret, that lit each space,
Now quenched, its brilliance lost to embrace
Of shadows deep, a dying ember,
Impossible to re-ignite, remember?
Ages have passed.

The past may return, they say with grace,
Those who departed will find their place.
The past may return, the echoes call,
Those who departed will heed the thrall.
Yet those who knew us, will they recall?
And we, too, we, shall we know at all?
Come, come, come.
