<Lata Mangeshkar's version>

rulaa kar chal diye ik din, hansi ban kar jo aaye the

rulaa kar chal diye ik din, hansi ban kar jo aaye the

chaman ro ro ke kehata hai,

chaman ro ro ke kehata hai

kabhi gul muskuraaye the

rulaa kar chal diye ik din, hansi ban kar jo aaye the

agar dil ke zubaan hoti ye gham kuchh kam to ho jaata

ye gham kuchh kam to jaata

agar dil ke zubaan hoti ye gham kuchh kam to ho jaata

ye gham kuchh kam to jaata

udhar woh chupp, idhar seene mein hum toofaan chhupaaye the

chaman ro ro ke kehata hai,

chaman ro ro ke kehata hai,

kabhi gul muskuraaye the

rulaa kar chal diye ik din, hansi ban kar jo aaye the

ye achchha tha na hum kehate kisi se daastaan apni,

kisi se daastaan apni

ye achchha tha na hum kehate kisi se daastaan apni,

kisi se daastaan apni

samajh paaye na jab apne, paraaye to paraaye the

chaman ro ro ke kehata hai,

chaman ro ro ke kehata hai

kabhi gul muskuraaye the

rulaa kar chal diye ik din, hansi ban kar jo aaye the
