yad aati hai, yad aati hai
yad aati hai, yad aati hai
mann ki woh chhainya, woh pyari baiyya
jwar ki roti, woh phut ki chhoti
savani jhule, kaise dil bhule
ho o yad aati hai kaleja chir jati hai
yad aati hai, yad aati hai
yad aati hai, yad aati hai

koso milo se bhi lambi dilbar teri judayi
koso milo se bhi lambi dilbar teri judayi
hoti hai jo sham to mujhko kate hai tanhayi
nind nahi aati hai tu bhi kaise soti hogi
mej pe meri photo rakhke rat ko roti hogi
dil me teri yade hain, honto pe tere tarane
dil me teri yade hain, honto pe tere tarane
ab tujhse kab milna hai yeh janey rab hi janey
yeh to rab hi janey
yad aati hai, yad aati hai
yad aati hai, yad aati hai
yad aati hai kaleja chir jati hai
yad aati hai, yad aati hai
yad aati hai, yad aati hai

chori chori chhat pe aana kangan khankana
chori chori chhat pe aana kangan khankana
chhed chhad hansna sharmana aur lipat jana
mehandi bhi naa utri thi me tujhe chhod ke aaya
nayi naweli dulhan tera dil me tod ke aaya
dil karta hai sarhad par ek bar tu milne aaye
dil karta hai sarhad par ek bar tu milne aaye
phir chahe tope chal jayen chahe maut aa jaye
chahe maut aa jaye
yad aati hai, yad aati hai
yad aati hai, yad aati hai
yad aati hai kaleja chir jati hai
yad aati hai, yad aati hai
yad aati hai, yad aati hai

yad aati hain jab jab teri gud se mithi bate
yad aati hain jab jab teri gud se mithi bate
dil me hove halchal, aankho se hoti barsate
lekin abb sarhad par mene apna farj nibhana
fatah se pahle meri sajni, me wapas nahi aana
khud par karna naj jo ladte ladte me mar jau
khud par karna naj jo ladte ladte me mar jau
hans kar karna vida tirange me jo lipta aau
me jo lipta aau
yad aati hai, yad aati hai
yad aati hai, yad aati hai
yad aati hai kaleja chir jati hai
yad aati hai, yad aati hai
yad aati hai, yad aati hai

Memory calls, memory calls,
Memory calls, memory calls.
That mind's embrace, that beloved's sway,
Jowar's bread, a small step each day.
Sawan's swings, how the heart forgets?
Oh, memory calls, and the heart it frets!
Memory calls, memory calls,
Memory calls, memory calls.

Miles stretch long, your absence, dear,
Miles stretch long, your absence, near.
When evening falls, loneliness bites,
Sleep eludes, how do you spend your nights?
Your photo on my table, tears you weep,
Your songs on my lips, memories deep.
Your songs on my lips, memories deep.
When we meet again, only the Lord does keep,
Only the Lord does keep.
Memory calls, memory calls,
Memory calls, memory calls.
Oh, memory calls, and the heart it frets!
Memory calls, memory calls,
Memory calls, memory calls.

Secret love's arrival, bangles chime,
Secret love's arrival, bangles chime.
Teasing laughter, shyly entwined,
Henna still fresh, when I left you behind.
A bride so new, your heart I did break,
My heart yearns for us, one meeting to make,
My heart yearns for us, one meeting to make.
Then let bullets fly, or death overtake,
Or death overtake.
Memory calls, memory calls,
Memory calls, memory calls.
Oh, memory calls, and the heart it frets!
Memory calls, memory calls,
Memory calls, memory calls.

Memory calls, your sweet words I recall,
Memory calls, your sweet words enthrall.
My heart stirs, and tears begin to fall,
But on the border, my duty I call.
Before victory, my love, I'll return,
Take pride if I die, my lessons I learn,
Take pride if I die, my lessons I learn.
Greet me with a smile, in the flag I'm to turn,
In the flag I'm to turn.
Memory calls, memory calls,
Memory calls, memory calls.
Oh, memory calls, and the heart it frets!
Memory calls, memory calls,
Memory calls, memory calls.
