sapno ko ginte ginte subah jo ho gayi
apne hi saaye me dhundhu chhaiya sapne dekhne

ho sapno ko ginte ginte subah jo ho gayi
apne hi saaye me dhundhu chhaiya sapne dekhne
suraj ki tapish mein meri chandini kho gayi
pal bhar ki bhi na chhutti thoda pichhe mudke dekhne
sapno ko ginte ginte subah jo ho gayi

ho apna apna mitha sapna satrangi ke neeche dafnaa
ho apna apna mitha sapna satrangi ke neeche dafnaa
hai pada din bhar woh dekhe nanhe kandhon ki kamaan
hai bojhil bojhil aasmaan
peeth hi tuti kismat ruthi chuhon ki is race me

sapnon ko ginte ginte subah jo ho gayi
apne hi saaye main dhundhu chhaiya sapne dekhne

The dawn arrived, counting dreams untold,
Within my shadow, seeking dreams of old.

The dawn arrived, counting dreams that fled,
Within my shadow, seeking dreams unsaid.
The sun's harsh blaze, my moonlight now concealed,
Not a moment spared, a glance, my fate revealed.
The dawn arrived, counting dreams now dead.

Each sweet dream buried, beneath rainbows bright,
Each sweet dream buried, vanishing from sight.
The day's long vigil, on small shoulders borne,
A burdened sky, in endless, weary scorn.
My back now broken, fortune turned away,
In this rat race, where shadows hold their sway.

The dawn arrived, counting dreams that cease,
Within my shadow, seeking inner peace.
