jab aane wale aate hai phir aa ke chale kyun jate hai
ik aag laga kar sine me kyu dur khade muskate hai

lakho thi umange jab dil ne tere pyar ki aas lagai thi
tere pyar ki aas lagai thi
tera pyar to hamko mil na saka
teri yad se dil bahalate hai
jab aane wale aate hai phir aa ke chale kyu jate hai

eye duniya walo dekho ham kaise taqadir ke mare hai
eye duniya walo dekho ham kaise taqadir ke mare hai
kaise taqadir ke mare hai
ham unke hai dil unka hai phir bhi wo hame thukrate hai
jab aane wale aate hai phir aa ke chale kyu jate hai

tadpane wale shad rahe wo jaha bhi hai aabad rahe
wo jaha bhi hai aabad rahe
itna hi gila hai bas unse kyun yad hame wo aate hai
jab aane wale aate hai phir aa ke chale kyu jate hai
ik aag laga kar sine me kyu dur khade muskate hai

They arrive, those who arrive, then why depart so soon?
Igniting a fire in the heart, why do they smile, aloof, beneath the moon?

A million hopes bloomed when my heart first yearned for your love,
My heart yearned for your love.
Your love, alas, was not my fate to keep,
Yet, with your memory, my heart finds solace deep.
They arrive, those who arrive, then why depart so soon?

Oh, people of the world, behold our plight, victims of destiny's cruel hand,
Victims of destiny's cruel hand.
Victims of destiny's cruel hand,
We are theirs, their hearts are ours, yet they cast us aside, command.
They arrive, those who arrive, then why depart so soon?

May those who torment find joy, wherever they may reside,
Wherever they may reside.
My only lament, that they still linger in my mind, a tide.
They arrive, those who arrive, then why depart so soon?
Igniting a fire in the heart, why do they smile, aloof, beneath the moon?
