Kal Chaudhvin Ki Raat Thi Lyrics English Translation

Your eyes were shining bright Like the moon in the night sky Your smile was sparkling And my heart skipped a beat

ग़ुलाब के रंग जैसे तुम्हारे चेहरे की रौनक मुझे हर पल याद आती है, ओ मेरे दिल की रानी

Ab to yeh dil kehta hai (Now this heart says) Khwaab kyun tod diya zanhaar (Why did you break the dream, O cruel one?)
