Tere Bin

Very soulful and touching song..its lyrics proved to be a challenge. Got this from a friend.

tere bin / besides you
sanu sohnia / my love
koi hor nahio labhna; / i shan’t find another
jo dave / who’ll give
ruh nu sakun / peace to my soul
chukke jo nakhra mera; / and indulge me
ve main sare ghumm ke vekhia / i have gone and seen it all
amrika , roos, malaysia / america, russia, malaysiana
na kitthey vi koi fark si / there wasn’t any difference
har kise di koi shart si; / they all had some condition
koi mangda mera si sama / some asked for my time
koi honda surat te fida / some were fascinated with my face
koi mangda meri si vafa / some demanded my fidelity
na koi mangda merian bala; / none wanted my demons
tere bin / besides you
hor na kise / no one else
mangni merian bala; / wanted my demons
tere bin / besides you
hor na kise / no one else
karni dhup vich chhan; / shall shade me in the sun
jiven rukia / (the) way you paused
si tun zara / slightly
nahion bhulna / i shan’t forget
main sari umar / all my life
jiven akhia si akhan chura / you said, looking away
“rovenga sanu yad kar”; / “you shall weep in my memory”
hasia si main hasa ajeeb / i laughed a strange laugh
(par) tu nahi si hasia / but you didn’t
dil vich tera jo raaz si / you had a secret in your heart
mainu tu kyon ni dasia; / why didn’t you tell me
tere bin / besides you
sanu eh raz / none shall tell this
kise hor nahion dasna; / secret to me
tere bin / besides you
peerh da ilaaj / what druid
kis vaid kolon labhna; / has the cure to my ills
milia si ajj mainu / i found today
tera ik patra / a note of yours
likhia si jis ‘te / on which you had scribbeled
tun shayr varey shah da / a varis shah couplet
park ke si osnu / upon reading which
hanjnu ik duliya / a teardrop fell
akhan ‘ch band si / what was locked in the eye
seh raaz ajj khulia; / was revealed today
ki tere bin / that other than you
eh mere hanjnu / these tears of mine
kise hor / won’t be kissed by
nahio chumna / none else
ki tere bin / that other than you
eh mere hanjhu / these tears of mine
mitti vich rulnha / will wither in the dust

Tere Bin…

Kyun saans loon, kyun main jiyun,

Jeena bura sa lage..

Kyun ho gaya, tu bewafa,

Mujhko bata de wajah….

This song has struck a cord with me. The singer has done a marvelous job. The way he has sung this song, particularly these lines quoted above, his heart-rending voice actually has the power to move the listener to tears.

I do not like its remix though. I do not understand why people need to spoil every other song by creating 10 different types of remixes.

But the original song is a treat for the ears.

Khat

Kuch sher khaton pe…

Yeh ek gazal hai jo bahut pehle suni thi..

Jab tere khat ko seene se lagaya humne,

Dil par ek dil ko dhadakta hua paaya humne.

Tu to nafrat bhi na kar payega utni humse,

Jitni shiddat se tera pyaar nibhaya humne.

Aur yeh Galib ki kalam se..

Qasid ke aate aate, khat ek aur likh rakhoon,

Main jaanta hoon jo woh likgenge jawab mein!

Abide with me

For Papa – May your soul rest in peace

Abide with me; fast falls the eventide;
The darkness deepens; Lord with me abide.
When other helpers fail and comforts flee,
Help of the helpless, O abide with me.

Swift to its close ebbs out life’s little day;
Earth’s joys grow dim; its glories pass away;
Change and decay in all around I see;
O Thou who changest not, abide with me.

Not a brief glance I beg, a passing word;
But as Thou dwell’st with Thy disciples, Lord,
Familiar, condescending, patient, free.
Come not to sojourn, but abide with me.

Come not in terrors, as the King of kings,
But kind and good, with healing in Thy wings,
Tears for all woes, a heart for every plea—
Come, Friend of sinners, and thus bide with me.

Thou on my head in early youth didst smile;
And, though rebellious and perverse meanwhile,
Thou hast not left me, oft as I left Thee,
On to the close, O Lord, abide with me.

I need Thy presence every passing hour.
What but Thy grace can foil the tempter’s power?
Who, like Thyself, my guide and stay can be?
Through cloud and sunshine, Lord, abide with me.

I fear no foe, with Thee at hand to bless;
Ills have no weight, and tears no bitterness.
Where is death’s sting? Where, grave, thy victory?
I triumph still, if Thou abide with me.

Hold Thou Thy cross before my closing eyes;
Shine through the gloom and point me to the skies.
Heaven’s morning breaks, and earth’s vain shadows flee;
In life, in death, O Lord, abide with me.

Do-re-mi-fa-so-la-ti

Doe, a deer, a female deer
Ray, a drop of golden sun
Me, a name I call myself
Far, a long long way to run
Sew, a needle pulling thread
La, a note to follow sew
Tea, I drink with jam and bread
That will bring us back to Do
