kisi ka aashiyan jalna kisi ka muskura dena
are e ruthi hui kismat unhe itna bata dena
haste haste rona pada haye rona pada
haste haste rona pada haye rona pada
mil ke bhi dur hona pada haye rona pada
haste haste rona pada haye rona pada

ankho me pyar tha dil me khushi thi
dil me khushi thi duniya se dur ek duniya
basi thi duniya basi thi bichad gaya sanam
samajh na paye hum dil ki khushi ko khona
pada haye rona pada haste haste rona pada haye rona pada

apni kahani mein na kisi ko sunaungi kisi ko sunaungi
maine hi lagai aag main hi jal jaungi main hi jal jaungi
mera hi kusur tha dil majbur tha
barbad akhir hona pada haye rona pada
haste haste rona pada haye rona pada

One finds solace in embers, another, a smile.
Oh, fate, so scorned, whisper this to them a while:
We laughed, then wept, a tearful, sudden fall,
We laughed, then wept, beyond recall.
Together, yet apart, a distance to enthrall,
We laughed, then wept, and answered sorrow's call.

Love bloomed in eyes, a joy within the breast,
A world apart, where happiness could rest.
A world we built, now shattered, torn in two,
We failed to grasp the joy, now lost to view.
We were forced to lose joy, and weep, the tearful fall,
We laughed, then wept, and gave our all.

My tale, I'll keep within, unseen, unheard,
The fire I sparked, and in its flames, I'm interred.
My fault it was, the heart, a helpless thrall,
In ruin's grasp, we watched the world enthrall.
We were forced to be ruined, and weep, the tearful fall,
We laughed, then wept, and gave our all.
