rone ka rog lag gaya
rone ka rog lag gaya
tadpe hanse hansi mein hum
lut gaye khel khel mein
mit gaye dillage mein hum
rone ka rog lag gaya

unse najar mili jahan
dil ki kali khili jahan
unse najar mili jahan
dil ki kali khili jahan
paai thi jindagi jahan
paai thi jindagi jahan
marte hai us gali mein hum
rone ka rog lag gaya

gulshan mein aake aap to
kab ke chale gaye magar
gulshan mein aake aap to
kab ke chale gaye magar
dhundh rahe hai aapko
dhundh rahe hai aapko
phir se gali gali mein hum

A sickness of weeping has claimed me,
A sickness of weeping has claimed me.
We writhed, we laughed, in laughter's hold,
Lost in games, our fortunes sold.
We perished in dalliance's sway,
A sickness of weeping holds sway.

Where eyes met, a blossoming rose,
Where hearts bloomed, as the spirit knows.
Where eyes met, a blossoming rose,
Where hearts bloomed, as the spirit knows.
Where life was found, a vibrant hue,
Where life was found, forever true,
We die in that street, in shadows we roam,
A sickness of weeping has made our home.

You came to the garden, then vanished from sight,
You came to the garden, and fled the bright light.
Yet we search for you still, in every town,
Yet we search for you still, up and down.
Through streets we wander, lost and forlorn,
A sickness of weeping, forever worn.
