89 THERE WAS A TIME WHEN YOU WERE MINE

89  THERE WAS A TIME WHEN YOU WERE MINE

There was a time when you were mine
And I did not have to crave and pine

There was no sorrow; there was no pain
I could not grouch; I couldn’t complain

The air was fragrant, and the weather fair
And the birds and flowers were there everywhere

I had no rival; I had no foe
And the friends were there, row after row

And I was as happy as I could be
And thought the world did belong to me

Kuchh pehlay in aankhoun aagay kya kya na nazaara guzray tha
Kya roshan ho gaati thi gali jab yaar hamaara guzray tha

Thay kitnay achhchhay loag keh jin ko apnay gham say fursat thi
Sab poochhaen thay ahwaal jo koie dard ka maara guzray tha

Ab kay toe khizaan aisie thehri, wo saaray zamaanay bhool gaay
Jab mousam e gul her phairay maen aa aa kay dobaara guzray tha

Thi yaaroun ki bohtaat toe hum aghiaar say bhee baizaar na thay
Jab mil baithay toe dushman ka bhee saath gawaara guzray tha

Ab toe haath sujhaaie na daway, laikin ab say pehlay toe
Aankh uthhtay hi aek nazar maen aalam saara guzray tha
