Here's the lyrics of 'Wo purane din':
wo purane din
wo suhane din
ashiqane din
os ki nami me bheege
wo purane din
din guzar gae
hum kidhar gae
piche mudke dekha paya
sab thahar gae
akele hian khade
kadam nahi badhe
chal padenge jab bhi koi
rah chal pade
jaenge kahan
hai kuch pata nahin
keh rahe hian wo
ki unki hai khata nahin
wo suhane din
ashiqane din
os ki nami mein bheege
wo purane din
