sare sapne tu tod gayi dali ko kahi kyu khud hi chhoad gayi
sare sapne tu tod gayi dali ko kahi kyu khud hi chhoad gayi
ghar me kuch na bacha teri yaado ke siwa
tu jaha bhi rahe khushaal rhe babul ka dil fir bhi ye kahe

doli ko hamne na kandha diya dulhan bana ke kiya na vida
arma dil ka dil me raha vida ke bina ke tu ho gayi juda
beti to amanat hoti hai ye dunia kyu roti hai
tu jaha bhi rahe khushaal rhe babul ka dil fir bhi ye kahe

pet thi to satati rahi nanhe paav thokar lagati rahi
sine se jab bhi lagaya tujhe tune chhote hatho se mara mujhe
thukara ke ham to chal diye aise jaa tan ko chhoad jaye aise
sare sapne tu tod gayi dali ko kahi kyu khud hi chhoad gayi
ghar me kuch na bacha teri yaado ke siwa
tu jaha bhi rahe khushaal rhe babul ka dil fir bhi ye kahe

You shattered all my dreams,
Why did you leave the branch to die?
You shattered all my dreams,
Why did you leave the branch to die?
Nothing remains in this house,
Except the echoes of your memory.
Wherever you are, may happiness find you,
Yet your father's heart still whispers…

I never carried your palanquin,
Never bid you farewell as a bride.
The heart’s desires remained within,
You departed without a goodbye.
A daughter is a trust, they say,
Then why does the world weep this way?
Wherever you are, may happiness find you,
Yet your father's heart still whispers…

When you were within, you troubled me,
Tiny feet, always kicking free.
When I held you close to my breast,
You struck me with small, tender fists.
Having rejected us, you have departed,
Like the soul forsaking the body.
You shattered all my dreams,
Why did you leave the branch to die?
Nothing remains in this house,
Except the echoes of your memory.
Wherever you are, may happiness find you,
Yet your father's heart still whispers…
