AAA~~ ~HO~HO~

zindagee me.n aayaa toofaan,
A STORM’S COME INTO LIFE,

huwe aaj sab paraaye,
ALL HAVE BECOME STRANGERS TODAY,

WHAT SORT OF DAYS HAVE COME,

doh gha.di me.n aaya toofaan,
WITHIN MOMENTS CAME THE STORM,

zindagi me.n aayaa toofaan,
A STORM’S COME INTO LIFE...


phailee ghamo.n ki siyaahee,
DARKNESS OF SORROWS HAS SPREAD ALL OVER,

I HAD DESIRED LOVE,

pyaar ban ke aayaa toofaan,
LOVE CAME IN THE SHAPE OF THE STORM.


zindagee me.n aayaa toofaan,
A STORM’S HAS COME INTO LIFE,

huwe aaj sab paraaye,
ALL HAVE BECOME STRANGERS TODAY,

WITHIN MOMENTS CAME THE STORM,

zindagi me.n aayaa toofaan,
A STORM’S COME INTO LIFE.

ALAS! WHAT SORT OF STORM’S COME.


zindagee me.n aayaa toofaan,
A STORM’S COME INTO LIFE,
