o bhulane waale gam mein tere
o bhulane waale gam mein tere
ham apna fasana bhul gaye
dukh dard ne aisa gher diya
laaje sar bhi hilana bhul gaye
o bhulane waale gam mein tere

tera dukhda kahti to jara
gujre jo tumpe kunche se
ek gudiya ro ro kahti thi
ek gudiya ro ro kahti thi
is raste pe aana bhul gaye
o bhulane waale gam mein tere

ulafat to likh di kismat mein
takdeer ke likhane wale ne
wo unko diya tha dil hamne
wo unko diya tha dil hamne
ulfat ka nibhana bhul gaye
o bhulane waale gam mein tere

ab kashti-e-dil ka khuda haafij
majhadar mein khewat ruth gaya
dil se unki tamnna chhod chuke
dil se unki tamnna chhod chuke
ke sahil pe aana bhul gaye
o bhulane waale gam mein tere

Oh, you who forget in sorrow's deep,
You, lost to grief, where shadows sleep,
We've lost our tale, our whispered plea,
Such pain has wrapped itself 'round me,
Even to nod, we've ceased to keep.
Oh, you who forget in sorrow's deep.

If I could speak of your woes to tell,
Of all you've known, where sorrows dwell,
A doll once wept, a whispered sign,
A doll once wept, her tears did shine,
This path to tread, we've bid farewell.
Oh, you who forget in sorrow's deep.

Love's fate was writ, in ink of old,
By destiny, a story told,
Our hearts we gave, with open hand,
Our hearts we gave, across the land,
To keep love's vow, we've grown so cold.
Oh, you who forget in sorrow's deep.

Now, farewell to the heart's frail bark,
The helmsman lost, within the dark,
From hearts, their wish, we've cast aside,
From hearts, their wish, our souls have spied,
To reach the shore, a fading spark.
Oh, you who forget in sorrow's deep.
