kabhi kabhi aisa bhi hua hai
kinare pe aate hi kisi ko kinara naa mila
kabhi kabhi aisa bhi hua hai
kinare pe aate hi kisi ko kinara naa mila
mila anchaha jeete raha re wo manmeet pyaraa naa mila
kabhi kabhi aisa bhi hua hai
kinare pe aate hi kisi ko kinara naa mila

kahan gyi beet re madhur vo din preet ke
kahan gyi beet re madhur vo din preet ke
bikhar gaye mere geet re
aisa lagta hai khushi ko yahan
pata hi humara naa mila
kabhi kabhi aisa bhi hua hai
kinare pe aate hi kisi ko kinara naa mila

Sometimes, even at the shore,
No haven beckoned, no solace poured.
Sometimes, even at the shore,
The promised land was never to be explored.
The unwanted life, a weary score,
My beloved's face, forevermore
Unseen, unheard, the heart's deep core.
Sometimes, even at the shore,
No haven beckoned, no solace poured.

Where did the sweet days of love reside?
Where did the sweet days of love confide?
My songs, like scattered tears, now glide.
It feels as though joy, far and wide,
Has lost the path where we abide.
Sometimes, even at the shore,
No haven beckoned, no solace poured.
