Always remember to forget
The things that made you sad
But never forget to remember
The things that made you glad.
Always remember to forget
The friends that proved untrue.
But don’t forget to remember
Those that have stuck by you.
Always remember to forget
The troubles that have passed away.
But never forget to remember
The blessings that come each day

Aksar tanhai main, guzre hu’e lamho’n ki
awaazain suna karta hoon,
Aksar tanhai main, chup chup ke
roya karta hoon…
Teri yaadon ke samundar main,
main doob jata hoon,
tujhe yaad karke hi,
ab to dil ko behlata hoon…
Aksar tahai main…
Jab bhi teri yaad aati hai,
khaabo’n ki dunya main kho jata hoon,
tera naam le ke hi,
labhon ko thandak pohnchata hoo…
Aksar tahai main…
Tum meri zindagi ho,
jisse dil-o-jaan se chahta hoon,
tumhara chehra dekh kar hi,
main ab muskarata hoon…
Aksar tahai main…
Kuch din hain judaai ke,
par inhe maheene saal kehlata hoon,
ab jald milan hoga,
yeh sooch kar hi jee pata hoon…
Aksar tahai main…

Jab guzar jayegi bahar tou kya karogay
yaad ayega mera piyaar tou kya karogay,
satatay ho aise jaise ajnabi hun mai
jab roothayga tumsay yaar tou kya karogay,
apnao gay kisi aur ko mujhay tanha chor kar
usay hoga na tumsay piyaar tou kya karogay,
akhir laut aogay tum meri rahon pay
phir milayga na pehla piyaar tou kya karogay,
abhi tou hanstay ho meri wafaon pay
yaar phir rona bhi hoga bekaar tou kya karogay
koi yeh kaisey bataye yeh dil rota kyon hai,
tera diya hua har zakhm aaj bhi hara kyon hai…
tanhayi key in raaston mein humsafar dhoond ta kyon hai,
umeed toh ek mazaak hai dil yeh nahi maanta kyon hai…
yehi dil ko samjhaya hai maine har woh tanha raat,
jo kabhi tera tha hee nahi uska intezaar aaj bhi kyoun hai.
