jab geet hawao ne gai, tum yaad aaye
jab khushbu ke badal chhaye, tum yaad aaye
jab subaho ne rang chhalkaye, tum yaad aaye
jab mahke shamo ke saye, tum yaad aaye
tum yaad aaye
jab geet hawao ne gai, tum yaad aaye
jab khushbu ke badal chhaye, tum yaad aaye

jab koi sunehara din aaya
jab mausam jhuma lahraya
jab rut ne li ek angdaai
jab dhup me narmi si aai
jab rang naye kaliyo ko mile
jab dali dali phul khile
jab phulo pe bhaunre madraye
tum yaad aaye
jab khushbu ke badal chhaye, tum yaad aaye

jab koi suhani rut aai
jab sapno ki barat aai
jab ambar me raate damke
jab aangan me jugnu chamke
jab hui ghaneri khamoshi
jab chhai halki bebasi
jab raat ne tan man pighlaai
tum yaad aaye
jab khushbu ke badal chhaye, tum yaad aaye
tum yaad aaye, tum yaad aaye

When winds hummed their songs, you surfaced, a breath.
When fragrance-clouds gathered, you bloomed, a death of self.
When dawns spilled hues, you painted the light.
When evenings breathed perfume, you whispered through night.
You surfaced, a breath.
When winds sang their songs, you surfaced, a breath.
When fragrance-clouds gathered, you bloomed, a death of self.

When a golden day unfurled,
When seasons danced, world to world.
When spring's sigh unfurled its grace,
When sun kissed with a gentle embrace.
When colors met the budding rose,
When blossom to branches chose.
When bees danced on petals' crest,
You surfaced, a breath, in my chest.
When winds sang their songs, you surfaced, a breath.

When a night of dreams arrived,
When a wedding of sleep, survived.
When the heavens shimmered and gleamed,
When fireflies in the courtyard streamed.
When silence deepened, a velvet shroud,
When helplessness softly bowed.
When night melted heart and soul,
You surfaced, claiming wholeness.
When winds sang their songs, you surfaced, a breath.
You surfaced, a breath, you surfaced, a breath.
