khush ho rahe the pahle thukra ke zindagi ko
khush ho rahe the pahle thukra ke zindagi ko
ab dundhte hai dekho ghabra ke zindagi ko
khush ho rahe the pahle thukra ke zindagi ko

nadaniyo pe apni kya kya tha naaz humko
nadaniyo pe apni kya kya tha naaz humko
sharma rahi hai ab sharma ke zindagi ko
khush ho rahe the pahle thukra ke zindagi ko
ab dundhte hai dekho ghabra ke zindagi ko
khush ho rahe the pahle thukra ke zindagi ko

ghamkhar koi na apna humdam na koi apna
ghamkhar koi na apna humdam na koi apna
phir kaun laye wapas samjha kar zindagi ko
khush ho rahe the pahle thukra ke zindagi ko
ab dundhte hai dekho ghabra ke zindagi ko
khush ho rahe the pahle thukra ke zindagi ko

Once, we rejoiced, life spurned and cast aside,
Once, we rejoiced, life spurned and cast aside,
Now, fear-filled, we seek where life can hide.
Once, we rejoiced, life spurned and cast aside.

Our follies, once, a source of proud display,
Our follies, once, a source of proud display,
Now, shamefaced, we blush at life's sway.
Once, we rejoiced, life spurned and cast aside,
Now, fear-filled, we seek where life can hide.
Once, we rejoiced, life spurned and cast aside.

No comfort, no friend, no solace in sight,
No comfort, no friend, no solace in sight,
Who now will return, and make life right?
Once, we rejoiced, life spurned and cast aside,
Now, fear-filled, we seek where life can hide.
Once, we rejoiced, life spurned and cast aside.
