teri yaad salaamat hai dil mein dil toot gaya to toot gaya
hum thaam ke dil ko kya karte jab daaman tera choot gaya
jeete the jiske dam se jeete the jiske dam se
duniya ne use chheena kis kaam ka ye jeena
jeete the jiske dam se duniya ne use chheena
kis kaam ka ye jeena jeete the jiske dam se

takdeer meri kya khoob nikali
mere dost ki wo meheboob nikali
takdeer meri kya khoob nikali
mere dost ki wo meheboob nikali
kitni maasoomiyat se aake
keh diya dost ne jaate jaate
meri jaa ka khayal rakhna
apno ke hi haath se
apno ke hi haath se
padta hai zeher peena
kis kaam ka ye jeena
jeete the jiske dam se

jise apna maana paraaya tha wo
udta hua ek saaya tha wo
jise apna maana paraaya tha wo
udta hua ek saaya tha wo
wo kali thi kisi ke chaman ki
thi shama aur hi anjuman ki
dil ko jisse kiya tha roshan
nazdeek tha kinaara
nazdeek tha kinaara duba ye jab safeena
kis kaam ka ye jeena jeete the jiske dam se
duniya ne use chheena kis kaam ka ye jeena
jeete the jiske dam se

Your memory thrives, a solace in my core, though the heart shattered, what's left to deplore?
What solace could I find, grasping at a heart torn, when your embrace, my haven, was forever forlorn?
We lived by its breath, its very lifeblood drawn,
The world snatched it away, what use is this dawn?
We lived by its breath, the world snatched it away,
What use is this dawn, living day by day?

My fate, a cruel jest, a bitter, twisted art,
For my friend possessed the love held within my heart.
My fate, a cruel jest, a bitter, twisted art,
For my friend possessed the love held within my heart.
With innocence unmarred, as fate took its cruel toll,
My friend departed, his departing words stole,
"Take care of my love, keep her safe and sound."
From the hands of my own, the poison I've found.
From the hands of my own, my sorrows surround.
To drink the poison's sting, what use in this ground?
We lived by its breath.

She whom I cherished, a stranger in disguise,
A fleeting shadow, before my very eyes.
She whom I cherished, a stranger in disguise,
A fleeting shadow, before my very eyes.
A bud destined for a garden unknown,
A candle for a gathering, not my own.
The heart's own light, its radiant gleam,
Near the shore I stood, then it all did seem,
Near the shore I stood, when the ship did sink.
What use is this dawn, living on the brink?
We lived by its breath, the world snatched it away,
What use is this dawn, living day by day?
We lived by its breath.
