Song Lyrics
| Lata Yaadon ki baaraat nikli hai aaj Dil ke dwaare, dil ke dwaare Sapno ki shehnai beete dino ko pukaare Dil ke dwaare Ho chhedo tarane milan ke pyare pyare Sang hamare | Lata A procession of memories is leaving today From my heart, from my heart A shehnai of dreams is calling out to the days of the past From my heart Oh, sing sweet songs of togetherness/union Along with me |
| Padmini/Sushma Yaadon ki baaraat nikli hai aaj Dil ke dwaare, dil ke dwaare Sapno ki shehnai beete dino ko pukaare Dil ke dwaare | Padmini/Sushma A procession of memories is leaving today From my heart, from my heart A shehnai of dreams is calling out to the days of the past From my heart |
| Lata Badle na apna yeh aalam kabhi Jeevan mein bichdenge na hum kabhi | Lata May our world never change! May we never be separated in life! |

| Lata Aage bhi hoga joh uska karam Yeh din toh manayenge har saal hum Apne aangan nache gaayenge chanda sitare | Lata Whatever happens in the future is in God’s hands But we’ll continue to celebrate this day every year The moon and stars will sing and dance in our yard |
