khoyi khoyi si hu mai
kyun yeh dil ka haal hai
dhundle sare khwab hai
uljha har khayal hai
sari kaliya murjha gayi
rang unke yaado me reh gaye
sare gharande ret ke
lehre aayi, lehro me beh gaye

raah me kal kitne chirag the
saamne kal phoolon ke baag the
kis se kahu kaun hai jo sune
kante hi kyu maine hai chune
sapne mere kyu hai kho gaye
jaage hai kyu dil me gum naye
sari kaliya murjha gayi
rang unke yaado me reh gaye
saare gharande ret ke
lehrein aayi, lehron me beh gaye

kya kahu kyu ye dil udaas hai
ab koi door hai na paas hai
chhu le jo dil wo bate ab kaha
wo din kaha rate ab kaha
jo bita kal ab hai khawab sa
ab dil mera hai betab sa
sari kaliya murja gayi
rang unke yaado me reh gaye
sare gharande ret ke
lehre aayi, lehro me beh gaye beh gaye

Lost within myself, I drift,
Why does the heart bear this rift?
Faded are the dreams I hold,
Entangled thoughts, a story told.

All the blossoms have now died,
Their colours in memories reside.
All the sandcastles, built with care,
Swept away by the sea's despair.

So many lamps lit the way,
Gardens of flowers bloomed yesterday.
To whom can I speak, who will hear?
Why did I choose thorns, filled with fear?
Why have my dreams disappeared from sight?
New sorrows awaken in the night.
All the blossoms have now died,
Their colours in memories reside.
All the sandcastles, built with care,
Swept away by the sea's despair.

What can I say, why this heart's gloom?
Now none are near, nor in this room.
Where are the words that touch the soul?
Where are those days, nights to extol?
Yesterday's moments, now a dream,
My heart restless, it would seem.
All the blossoms have now died,
Their colours in memories reside.
All the sandcastles, built with care,
Swept away by the sea's despair, they're gone.
