pahli bar mile jab hum tum pahli bar mile jab hum tum
pahli bar mile jab hum tum charche the dildaro me
lakho dil ki dhadkan the tum hum the ek hajaro me
lakho dil ki dhadkan the tum hum the ek hajaro me

jaan lutate the tum hum par dur nahi hote the pal bhar
chup chup karte the bate hum tum roj isharo me
dusri bar mile jab hum tum dusri bar mile jab hum tum
hum aaye rishta lekar dusri bar mile jab hum tum
hum aaye rishta lekar
tum bhi chanchal hum the bekal hum the dil tum the dilbar
tum bhi chanchal hum the bekal hum the dil tum the dilbar

jhuki jhuki aankhe thi tumhari thami thami sanse thi humari
apna kitna pyar saja tha charo aur nazaro me
tisri bar mile jab hum tum tisri bar mile jab hum tum
gharwasi tha sanyasi tisri bar mile jab hum tum
gharwasi tha sanyasi
phir tum bhi the bujhe bujhe se hum bhi ho gaye the basi
phir tum bhi the bujhe bujhe se hum bhi ho gaye the basi

khali khali the hum dono milte the phir kam kam dono
jhumte bachcho bachcho me hum firte the bajaro me
chauthi bar mile jab hum tum chawthi bar mile jab hum tum
hal bura tha jivan ka chawathi bar mile jab hum tum
hal bura tha jivan ka
police kachahari tak ja pahuncha jhagda ghar ke aagan ka
police kachahari tak ja pahuncha jhagda ghar ke aagan ka
shadi karke pachhataye hum yu samjho bas barbad hum
milan ki khushiya jalti hai ab biraha ke angaro me

When first we met, when first we met,
the talk of hearts, a whispered set.
You, a million heartbeats, bright and bold,
I, one of thousands, stories to be told.

You'd spend your life on me, a moment's span,
never to be parted, woman, man.
We spoke in hushed tones, secrets kept,
each day, by glances, love we swept.

The second time, when we did meet,
a bond we offered, bittersweet.
You, restless, and I, adrift at sea,
my heart was yours, you, my destiny.

Your eyes cast down, a gentle gaze,
my breath held still in a dazed haze.
Our love, a masterpiece, so grand,
adorning all, across the land.

The third time met, when we did meet,
a home embraced, a soul's retreat.
You, dimmed, and I, a faded hue,
the world we built, no longer new.

We met, yet empty, our spirits low,
less frequently, our feelings slow.
Amidst the children, joy we'd see,
but walked in markets, hollowly.

The fourth time met, when we did meet,
life's wretched state, bitter and fleet.
The courts, the law, our battles' aim,
our home's embrace, consumed by flame.

Married, regretting, a life undone,
our happiness, a setting sun.
The flames of union now burn, in the embers of separation.
