Terai muhafiz

 

Saath tum chal na paayai 

Dil mera toh rakh nah paayai

Tooda iss dil ko sheesai ki tarah 

Mooda apna rukh gairu ki tarah

 

Kya kya sitam hum seh k baithay hai

Milo kisi rooz humsai , tumhay batayai gai

 

Jaanai kab kis din mulkaat hogi

Zinda rahay toh yai baat hogi

Shikwa karai gai tumsai sanam

Jis din tumsai mulakaat hogi

 

Kehtay toh thay saath raho gai

Cha hay kch b hojaayai  muh na moodo gai

 

Aisai chd k gayai jaise koi rishta na tha

Dil tood k gayai jaise koi kissa na tha

 

Janai kab kis din tumhay batayai gai

Zinda hum terai bin reh na paayai gai

 

english translation;

You taught me how to cry in nights, You made yourself my protector, oh my! We couldn't walk together hand in hand, My heart couldn't hold, like shattered sand.

You broke my heart like glass so frail, Turned your face away, like a stranger's veil. We endured countless cruelties and pain, One day, you'll know, it won't be in vain.

Who knows when we'll meet again someday, If I live to see it, is what I pray. I may complain, my beloved, it's true, The day we meet, I'll have words with you.

We used to say we'd stay together forever, No matter what happens, we'd endeavor. Don't turn your face away, my dear, You left as if there was nothing here.

Who knows when I'll get to convey, I can't live without you, come what may.
