rangeen tha mera pyar abhi kal ki baat hai
daaman mein thi bahaare abhi kal ki baat hai

rakha tha rang chaman mein to mausam badal gaya
rakha tha rang chaman mein to mausam badal gaya
phulo ka tha nikhaar abhi kal ki baat hai
rangeen tha mera pyar abhi kal ki baat hai

kaate bichhe huye hai jawani ki sej pe
ho the gale sahaare abhi kal ki baat hai
rangeen tha mera pyar abhi kal ki baat hai

peeta hu ab sharab to hota nahi nasha
peeta hu ab sharab to hota nahi nasha
pani mein tha khumaar abhi kal ki baat hai
rangeen tha mera pyar abhi kal ki baat hai

My love was vibrant, a yesterday's tale,
Spring's breath embraced me, a yesterday's gale.

I painted the garden, the seasons did shift,
The flowers bloomed bright, a yesterday's gift.
My love was vibrant, a yesterday's tale.

Thorns now adorn the bed of youth's plea,
Arms that embraced me, a yesterday's decree.
My love was vibrant, a yesterday's tale.

I drink now of wine, but no longer feel drunk,
The water held bliss, a yesterday's trunk.
My love was vibrant, a yesterday's tale.
