lagta hai ke pighal gayi
magar nahi, nahi, nahi
wo thi jahaan ab hai waheen
kulfi, kulfi...
haan... meeThi meeThi maazi ki kulfi...

it seems like it's melted,
but no, no, no,
where it was, it's still there,
ice cream,
ah, the sweet ice cream of Past.

[kulfi or kulfee is a traditional Indian ice-cream like dairy dessert.]

lagta hai ke pighal gayi
magar nahi, nahi, nahi...

hazaar tanz kas gayi
hazaar gaanTh baandh chuki
khulegi naa gaThri kabhi
ye socha tha, par khul gayi
pighlegi nahi wo kabhi
kulfi kulfee...
haan... meeThi meeThi maazi ki kulfi...

it taunted me a thousand times,
it has tied a hundred knots.
this knotted bundle would never be opened again —
so I had thought, but it has opened.
it'll never melt, this ice cream,
this sweet ice cream of Past.

lagta hai ke pighal gayi
magar nahi, nahi, nahi...

jo chal raha tha tham gayaa
jo tham gaya tha chal paRaa
usi puraani raah pe
phir se main nikal paRaa

what was moving, stopped,
and what was stopped, started moving.
On the same old path,
I have started again.

puraane sikkon se khareed li
kulfi, kulfi...
haan... meeThi meeThi maazi ki kulfi...

I bought some kulfi with old coins,
yes, sweet kulfi of Past.

lagta hai ke pighal gayi
magar nahi, nahi, nahi...
