YO YO HONEY SINGH · TAHMINA ARSALAN · ASHK SONG LYRICS ENGLISH MEANING
Tabaah Kardi Zindagi’yam, Girafti Zeman Khushi’yam,
You destroyed my life; you’ve taken my happiness.
Maindaurma Badi’yam, Ajush Khuda Bandagi’yam,
I have no hope in the world, except having god with me.
Merezam Hardum Merezam, Merezam Hardum Merezam,
Flooding… With every, breath I am flooding.
Ashk Ashk Ashk Ashk,
Tears…
Tanhashidam Tanhashidam, Pichidedaan Damhosidaan,
I am alone all alone tangled in sorrows…
Metharshamas Shaversiya, Tarikobe Banhoshidam,
Frightened of night’s darkness, diminished and helpless.
Roni Haaye Roni Rabittu, Yagum Jawani Rabittu,
You know I am dazed without you… An enduring youthful life without you…
Kham Zindgani Rabittu, Misuza Mesoza Misuza Mesoza,
And my whole life without you, burning, surviving, burning, surviving.
Ashk Ashk Ashk Ashk,
Tears…
Mere Hanjuan Da Rait’an Baneya,
My tears transformed into grains of sand.
Mera Gham Tera Chetta Baneya,
My pain becomes woven into your ‘memories’
Kade Teri Jo Pasand Hunda Si,
The “ONE” who was your Favorite once,
Hun Gham’an Da Chaheta Baneya,
Now, he has become Pain’s favorite.
Ghar Vi Na Ghar Reha, Darr Vi Na Darr Reha,
My home no longer feels like home, and I’m unafraid of the places I should find fear
Samajh Na Aaye Mainu, Jo Vi Aan Main Kar Reha,
I find myself unsure of what I am doing
Zinda Haan Ya Mar Reha, Khud Naal Ladd Reha,
Whether I am alive or dead, I’m in a constant battle with myself
Hor Hunda Mar Janda, Jinna Ni Main Jarr Reha,
Anyone else would have died, To the extent of my suffering
Mile Ashq Ne Mainu, Mere Ishq Da Inaam,
I received ‘TEARS’ as the reward for my ‘LOVE’
Mere Hanjuan Te Tera, Terayan Te Mera Naam,
My tears carry a piece of you, while your tears bear my name
Jehdeyan Raahan Te, Assi Wakh Hoye Si,
The paths where we got separated
Oh Maarde Aa Taane, Mainu Laike Tera Naam,
They’re mocking me using your name
Jhalla Maa Da Putt Jetha Baneya,
The eldest son of a mother destroyed in love
Mere Hanjuan Da Rait’an Baneya,
My tears transformed into grains of sand.
Mera Gham Tera Chetta Baneya,
My pain becomes woven into your ‘memories’
Kade Teri Jo Pasand Hunda Si,
The “ONE” who was your Favorite once,
Hun Gham’an Da Chaheta Baneya,
Now, he has become Pain’s favorite.
Ashk Ashk Ashk Ashk,
Tears….
