kaha the aap zamane ke bad aaye hai
kaha the aap zamane ke bad aaye hai
mere shabab ke jane ke bad aaye hai
kaha the aap zamane ke bad aaye hai

mere huzur batao meri khata kya hai
mere huzur batao meri khata kya hai
bhari bahar ke jane ke bad aaye hai
mere shabab ke jane ke bad aaye hai
kaha the aap jamane ke bad aaye hai

girana tha to falak se hame gira dete
girana tha to falak se hame gira dete
najar se humko girane ke bad aaye hai
mere shabab ke jane ke bad aaye hai
kaha the aap jamane ke bad aaye hai

wo jinke pyar me sadiya gujar di humne
wo jinke pyar me sadiya gujar di humne
har ek khwab jalane ke bad aaye hai
mere shabab ke jane ke bad aaye hai
kaha the aap jamane ke bad aaye hai
kaha the aap jamane ke bad aaye hai
kaha the aap

Where were you, arrived after the ages?
Where were you, arrived after the ages?
After the bloom of my youth has departed, you arrive.
Where were you, arrived after the ages?

My Lord, tell me, what was my sin?
My Lord, tell me, what was my sin?
After the full spring has faded, you arrive.
After the bloom of my youth has departed, you arrive.
Where were you, arrived after the ages?

If you wished to cast me down, cast me from the heavens,
If you wished to cast me down, cast me from the heavens,
But to arrive after casting me down from your sight.
After the bloom of my youth has departed, you arrive.
Where were you, arrived after the ages?

Those for whose love, we spent centuries,
Those for whose love, we spent centuries,
Arriving after every dream has burned.
After the bloom of my youth has departed, you arrive.
Where were you, arrived after the ages?
Where were you, arrived after the ages?
Where were you?
