*Ek dost Tha Mera
Rehta Tha dur sheher me
Aata Tha kabhi kabar
Dher saare khushiyaan lekar
Din ya raat ** hasna muskurana,
Kabhi Kam na hota tha..
Jab bhi aata Tha
Har Roz milta Tha
Bohot der tak rukne ko taiyyar tha
Kabhi bola nahi-
K nahi yaar, aaj nahi.
Din badal Gaye mahine me,
Aur mujhe degaya har khushi
Jo kabhi mile na the!
Par ek din aisa bhi aaya,
Jab wo ghar Chala Gaya
Aur wapas kab aayega
Pata na tha..
Din, mahine bidte gaye
Par Akhon me asha kabhi na miti!
Usey bol to nahi payi
K dost kabhi to aa..
Ab har din naye dost banati hu
Hasti hu, khilkhilati hu,
Khush rehne ki koshish karti hu.
Din ya raat bahar rehti hu
Is umeed me k har Hawa me kabhi
Tu mil Jaye mujhe
Aur har din
Tere yaad me guzar leti hu..
Kabhi to aayega tu..
Din mahine saal
Shayed beet Jaye..
Kabhi to aayega tu..*
English translation-
*I had a friend,
Who stayed in another city,
Used to visit me every other day,
Bringing loads of happiness altogether
Without any shortage of Smiles or laughter.
Whenever he was here,
Everyday he used to meet me
Was ready to wait for me long
Never said, no today I can't.
Days passes by
And months too
And he gave me all happiness
And everyday seemed like a festival
Which I never had a chance to live!
But there came a day
When he had to return back home
Never knew when he would be back!
Days passed by
and months too.
But in my eyes,
Hopes never extinguished,
Never ever had I said
That friend- come back soon.
Everyday I make new friends
I smile, I laugh out loud.
I try to be happy
each and every day.
Day or night, I stay out
In the hopes of life
that the winds would
bring me closer to you.
And everyday I live
in the memories of you
May be someday
I would see you,
Days, months, years
Might pass by too,
May be someday..
Someday you will be back too..*
