bhigee huwee koyee sham woh, mehka huwa koyee nam woh
bin bat hee hotee hai nilam woh, mashhur hai phir bhee badnam woh
janey huwa hai aaj kya hame naa ham, janey kyun hamko yad aaye woh
abb iss tarha usko sochta hu, gujre huwe woh pal rokta hu
woh pal kahee kho gaye the jo apne
aur sath bhee ho gaye the jo sapne
janey huwa hai aaj kya hame naa ham, janey kyun hamko yad aaye woh

woh roshnee woh aag hai, ya phir koyee chirag hai
jisse dhire dhire hai jalna, jisse iss tarha hee hai chalna
kissee mod pe woh aaj bhee, kandil see jalegee
shaher kee dhup see bewakt hee, dhhalegee kyun hamko yad
bhigee huwee koyee sham woh, mehka huwa koyee nam woh
bin bat hee hotee hai nilam woh, mashhur hai phir bhee badnam woh
janey huwa hai aaj kya hame naa ham, janey kyun hamko yad aaye woh

A drenched evening, a fragrant name,
Sold for nothing, yet known by fame.
What's befallen, I don't know why,
Yet her memory lingers, passing by.
I ponder her now, in reverie's hold,
Recalling the moments, stories untold,
Moments once lost, in time's fleeting flight,
And dreams we shared, bathed in fading light.
What's befallen, I don't know why,
Yet her memory lingers, passing by.

Is she a fire, a beacon so bright,
Or a lamp meant to burn through the night,
To flicker and fade, in a slow, steady blaze,
To walk this path, through life's winding maze?
At some crossroads, her presence will gleam,
A lamp in the darkness, a lingering dream.
Like sunlight that fades, at an unwelcome hour,
Why do I remember, with such somber power?
A drenched evening, a fragrant name,
Sold for nothing, yet known by fame.
What's befallen, I don't know why,
Yet her memory lingers, passing by.
