gaate thay pehle akele

gaate the pehle akele,

aaj gaata hai saara jahaan

kaisa khushi ka sama hai,

peeke aansoo hanso re sanaa

pyar se muskura,

kya hua bhool jaa

jo kho gaya, uska gham kya

jo paas hai, woh hai kam kya

baat achchi hai na,

baat sachchi hai na

baaje re baaja hamara,

naache re sansaar saara

pyar se muskura,

kya hua bhool jaa

gaate the pehle akele,

aaj gaata hai saara jahaan

kaisa khushi ka sama hai,

peeke aansoo hanso re sanaa

pyar se muskura,

kya hua bhool jaa

hum to suna jo jaata hai,

woh laut ke phir aata hai

baat achchi hai na,

baat sachchi hai na

baaje re baaja hamara,

naache re sansaar saara

pyar se muskura,

kya hua bhool jaa

ho gaate the pehle akele,

aaj gaata hai saara jahaan

kaisa khushi ka sama hai,

peeke aansoo hanso re sanaa

pyar se muskura,

kya hua bhool jaa.
