kabhi din ki dhoop mein jhoom ke

1 / 1: Couplet

kabhi din ki dhoop mein jhoom ke kabhi shab ke phool ko chuum ke

yun hi saath saath chalen sada

kabhi khatm apna safar na ho

sometimes swaying in the sunshine

sometimes kissing evening flowers

let us walk together forever

may our journey never end
