jo dil pe gujarte hai vo gam yaad rahenge
ae duniya hume tere sitam yaad rahenge

apna to hal ye hai jaha jane kharab me
apna to hal ye hai jaha jane kharab me
dam jaise koi tod raha ho shabab me
apna to hal ye hai jaha jane kharab me

dil ne khushi ka khwab dikhaya tha ek din
haye dil ne khushi ka khwab dikhaya tha ek din
kismat ne gam diya hai tujhe jawab me
apna to hal ye hai jaha jane kharab me

aahe labo pe aankh me aansu udas dil haye
aahe labo pe aankh me aansu udas dil
is zindagi ne dal diya kis adab me
apna to hal ye hai jaha jane kharab me
dam jaise koi tod raha ho shabab me
apna to hal ye hai jaha jane kharab me

The sorrows that carve the heart, they shall remain,
O world, your cruelties, etched in memory's stain.

Our plight, a world crumbling, decaying,
Our plight, a world crumbling, decaying,
As though youth's vibrant breath is slowly breaking,
Our plight, a world crumbling, decaying.

The heart once dreamt of joy, a fleeting gleam,
Alas, the heart once dreamt, a fragile dream,
Fate, a sorrow offered in reply, supreme,
Our plight, a world crumbling, decaying.

Sighs upon the lips, tears within the eye, a heart forlorn,
Sighs upon the lips, tears within the eye, a heart forlorn,
Life has cast us in a desolate morn,
Our plight, a world crumbling, decaying.
As though youth's vibrant breath is slowly breaking,
Our plight, a world crumbling, decaying.
