wo sath humra de na sake
hum naam unhi ka leke jeete hai
do din to khushi ke paye the
kya kahiye kaise jeete hai
wo sath humra de na sake

tanhai bahro se milkar
jab unki yaad dilati hai
tanhai bahro se milkar
jab unki yaad dilati hai
umeed ke kache dhaage se
jakhmo ke apne silte hai
wo sath humra de na sake

kya aur kahe ye sawan
kyu thandi aag lagata hai
kya aur kahe ye sawan
kyu thandi aag lagata hai
hum laye kaha se ab aasu
aankho ke srovar girte hai
wo sath humra de na sake

wo jitne humse dur huye
utni hi tadap is dil ki badhi
wo jitne humse dur huye
utni hi tadap is dil ki badhi
le jaam uthaya aye jadu
hum khone tamnna pite hai
wo sath humra de na sake

wo sath humra de na sake
hum naam unhi ka leke jeete hai
do din to khushi ke paye the
kya kahiye kaise jeete hai
wo sath humra de na sake

They could not walk beside us,
Yet their name, our life's refrain.
Brief were the days of our joy,
How we exist, a whispered pain.
They could not walk beside us.

Solitude merges with spring's bloom,
And their memory, it then awakes.
With fragile threads of hope we mend,
The scars our wounded spirit makes.
They could not walk beside us.

What more can we say of this monsoon,
That feels like a fire, cold and deep?
Where do we find tears now,
As the lakes of our eyes weep?
They could not walk beside us.

The farther they wandered from us,
The greater the ache within the heart.
Raise the goblet, O sorcerer,
We drink the wish to depart.
They could not walk beside us.

They could not walk beside us,
Yet their name, our life's refrain.
Brief were the days of our joy,
How we exist, a whispered pain.
They could not walk beside us.
