ik aas bandhaye jaati hai
ik aas mitaye jaati hai
ummeed ke rangeen jhoole me
taqdeer jhulaye jaati hai
taqdeer jhulaye jaati hai

abaad kiya tha jis dil ko
kar daala phir barbaad usse
is tarah kiya ke ghum ke siva
kuchh aur raha na yaad use
jis dil mein pyar basaya tha
ik dard basaye jaati hai
ik dard basaye jaati hai
ummeed ke rangeen jhoole me
taqdeer jhoolaye jaati hai
taqdeer jhoolaye jaati hai

asha ki sachhi kalion ko
asha ki sachhi kalion ko
khilne se pahele peen liya
ik geet jagakar hothon par
ik geet jagakar hothon par
gaane se pahele chhin liya
do roz jhulakar phulon me
kaanton me rulaye jaati hai
kaanton me rulaye jaati hai
ummeed ke rangeen jhoole me
taqdeer jhulaye jaati hai
taqdeer jhulaye jaati hai

A hope it binds, a promise kept,
A hope it shatters, secrets wept.
Upon the swing of painted dreams,
Fate rocks us, as the river streams.
Fate rocks us, as the river streams.

The heart it built, a vibrant space,
Now leveled, left in desolate grace.
It twisted, turned, a cruel design,
Leaving only echoes, not a sign.
In the heart where love once bloomed,
A painful ache, forever consumed.
A painful ache, forever consumed.
Upon the swing of painted dreams,
Fate rocks us, as the river streams.
Fate rocks us, as the river streams.

The tender buds of hope, so true,
Before they bloom, it drinks the dew.
A song it wakes upon the lip,
A song it steals, before the trip.
Two days it swayed in floral light,
Then plunged us deep in thorny night.
Then plunged us deep in thorny night.
Upon the swing of painted dreams,
Fate rocks us, as the river streams.
Fate rocks us, as the river streams.
