mat chhedo gham ki baatein in baton mein dum nahi
in baaton mein dum nahi
kaise hum ji rahe hai aise hum ji rahe hai
kaise hum ji rahe hai aise hum ji rahe hai
jaise koi jeher hai haske hum pi rahe hai
sote huye ye din gujare jagate biti raaten kayi
pine ke baad aati hai yaad bhuli huyi baatein kayi
pine ke baad aati hai yaad bhuli huyi baatein kayi

jaadu se chal rahi hai armaan nikal rahe hai
jaadu se chal rahi hai armaan nikal rahe hai
shole lapak rahe hain din mein dil jal rahe hain
palkon ke niche in aankhon ke pichhe chhupi hai barsate kayi
pine ke baad aati hai yaad bhuli huyi baatein kayi
pine ke baad aati hai yaad bhuli huyi baatein kayi

Don't stir their echoes, these words hold no breath,
No breath within them.
How we endure, how we live this plight,
How we endure, how we live this plight,
Like poison we drink, with laughter held tight.

Sleeping, the days drift, waking, the nights now past,
After the draught, forgotten memories amassed,
After the draught, forgotten memories amassed.

By sorcery they move, desires taking flight,
By sorcery they move, desires taking flight,
Flames are leaping, burning hearts in the light,
Beneath the lashes, behind the hidden eyes, lie rains,
After the draught, forgotten memories, the pains,
After the draught, forgotten memories, the pains.
