Meraa TooTaa huwaa dil, unn ko dikhaao jaakar,
GO AND SHOW HER MY BROKEN HEART,

Ik baar toh unn ko yeh paighaam sunaao jaakar,
FOR ONCE GO AND MAKE HER LISTEN TO THIS MESSAGE:

Tum hame.n bhool gaye,

Tum hame.n bhool gaye...

Ay hawaa jaanaa zaraa, unn kee galee se hokar,
O WIND, WHILE GOING AT LEAST PASS THROUGH HER LANE!

Voh meraa haal jo poochhe, toh yeh kehnaa rokar,
WHEN SHE ASKS YOU ABOUT MY STATE, THEN TELL THIS WHINING:

Tum hame.n bhool gaye,
YOU’VE FORGOTTEN US,

Hamm naa tumeh bhool sake,

YOU DON’T EVEN MEET UP; WITH YOUR MEMORY WE GET TO MEET,

Tum toh sunte hee nahee.n, hamm yaad se keh dete hai.n,
YOU DON’T EVEN LISTEN TO US; TO YOUR MEMORY WE DO TELL:

Tum hame.n bhool gaye,
YOU’VE FORGOTTEN US,

Hamm naa tumeh bhool sake,
WE HAVEN’T BEEN ABLE TO FORGET YOU,

Tum hame.n bhool gaye,
YOU’VE FORGOTTEN US,

Hamm naa tumeh bhool sake,
WE HAVEN’T BEEN ABLE TO FORGET YOU,

Tum hame.n bhool gaye.
