Good movie! I remember watching it about a year ago or something.

A difficult song this one. Took lots of effort to learn it, and still, by no means am I attempting to copy the original.

Lyrics:

Puchho na kaise maine rain bitai

Puchho na kaise maine rain bitai

Ik pal jaise, ek yug beeta

Ik pal jaise, ek yug beeta

Yug bitey mohe neend na aayi

Puchho na kaise maine rain bitai

Ut jale deepak it man mera

Phir bhi najaye mere ghar ka andhera

Ut jale deepak it man mera

Man mera ha mera

Ut jale deepak it man mera

Phir bhi najaye mere ghar ka andhera

Tadpat tarsat umar gawayi

Puchho na kaise maine rain bitai

Na kahi chanda, na kahi tarey

Jyot ke pyase mere, nain bicharey

Na kahi chanda, na kahi tarey

Jyot ke pyase mere, nain bicharey

Bhor bhi aas ki kiran na laayi

Pucho na kaise maine rain bitai

Pucho na kaise maine rain bitai.
