subah hoti hai sham hoti hai
jindagi yuhi tamam hoti hai
subah hoti hai sham hoti hai
jindagi yuhi tamam hoti hai

haye wo bachpan ki rangi yadgar
yaad aate hai wo din bhi bar bar
khelna phulo me titli ki tarah
daudna barkha me bijli ki tarah
roz wo gudiyo ki shadi dhum se
nachna gana galiyo me jhum ke
sang sakhiyo ke wo jhule preet ke
tal dena milke dil ke geet pe
bas yahi thi choti si dunia meri
janti thi isko hi mai jindagi
subah hoti hai sham hoti hai
jindagi yuhi kaha hoti hai

ek din utha aisa tufan sa
dil me jaga anjana arman sa
chhod ke mujhko mera bachpan gaya
khelti thi jisme wo angan gaya
dil me koi apna banke aa gaya
ek nasha sa jindagi pe cha gaya
chand taro se bate hone lagi
dur khwabo me najre khone lagi
pyar me yu mera dil madhosh tha
hosh tha mujhko to itna hosh tha
subah hoti hai sham hoti hai
jindagi yuhi tamam hoti hai

Dawn arrives, then evening falls,
Life, like this, completely calls.
Dawn arrives, then evening falls,
Life, like this, completely calls.

Oh, those painted memories of youth,
Those days return, a constant truth.
Playing like a butterfly in flowers,
Running in the rain, like electric powers.
Every day, dolls' weddings with delight,
Dancing, singing, in the streets of light.
Swinging on swings, with friends so dear,
Matching hearts, to songs we'd hear.
This small world, it was my all,
Knowing it, I knew life's thrall.
Dawn arrives, then evening falls,
Life, like this, where did it fall?

One day, a storm arose within,
A hidden wish began to spin.
My childhood left, and it was gone,
The playmate vanished at the dawn.
Someone entered, making them my own,
A captivating intoxication sown.
Talking to the moon and stars above,
Lost in dreams, consumed by love.
My heart was drunk on love's sweet wine,
The only truth, it was aligned.
Dawn arrives, then evening falls,
Life, like this, completely calls.
