ye jeena bhi koi jeena hai
marte hai na jeete hai
mohabbat karne wale kya sada
aansu hi pite hai
ye ghar lut gaya haye aabad hokar
ye ghar lut gaya haye aabad hokar
wafa dil se nikli hai fariyad hokar
wafa dil se nikali hai fariyad hokar
ye ghar lut gaya haye aabad hokar

waha shadiyane khushi ke bajenge
khushi ke bajenge
waha shadiyane khushi ke bajenge
khushi ke bajenge
yaha reh gaya koi barbad hokar
yaha reh gaya koi barbad hokar
ye ghar lut gaya haye aabad hokar

hume ae mohabbat na tu yad karna
tu yad karna
hume ae mohabbat na tu yad karna
tu yad karna
magar hum rahenge teri yad hokar
magar hum rahenge teri yad hokar
ye ghar lut gaya haye aabad hokar
ye ghar lut gaya haye aabad hokar

Is this living, a life at all?
Neither dying, nor truly breathing.
Those who love, they must always,
Only tears, are they drinking?
This home, it was plundered, in the peak of its glory,
This home, it was plundered, in the peak of its glory,
Fidelity, from the heart, cries out in lament,
Fidelity, from the heart, cries out in lament,
This home, it was plundered, in the peak of its glory.

There, trumpets of joy, will they blare,
Joy will they blare.
There, trumpets of joy, will they blare,
Joy will they blare.
Here, one remains, ruined, in the wreckage,
Here, one remains, ruined, in the wreckage,
This home, it was plundered, in the peak of its glory.

Oh, Love, do not remember us,
Remember us not.
Oh, Love, do not remember us,
Remember us not.
Yet, we shall remain, in your memory,
Yet, we shall remain, in your memory,
This home, it was plundered, in the peak of its glory,
This home, it was plundered, in the peak of its glory.
