*********************************************************************
Dhoop hai kya aur saya kya hai, ab maaloom hua,
Yeh sab khel tamasha kya hai, ab maaloom hua !
[What is Sunny and what is Shade, I just came
to know,
What is all this game about, I just came to know !]
Hanstay phool ka chehra dekhoon aur bar
aayee aankh,
Apnay saath yeh kisa kya hai, ab maaloom hua !
[I look at a fully blossomed flower and my eyes
get filled with tears,
What is the matter with me, I just came to know !]
Hum barson kay baad bhi usko ab tak bhool na
payey,
Dil say uska rishta kya, ab maaloom hua !
[Even after so many years, I could not forget
her,
What is my heart's relationship with her, I just came to know !]
Sehra sehra pyasay batkay saari umar jaley,
Baadal ka ik tukda kya hai, ab maaloom hua !
[I wandered thirsty all around, all my life,
What is a piece of cloud worth for, I just came to know !]
Dhoop hai kya aur saya kya hai, ab maaloom
hua,
Yeh sab khel tamasha kya hai, ab maaloom hua !
