The lyrics writer describes the raw emotion of betrayal, with lines like ‘Your love was nothing but a lie.’ Rahul Dayal and Vaniit Bakshi use the stars as a metaphor, saying they weep alongside the heartbroken. The song talks about the unbearable pain of seeing a loved one walk away.
Dard hai dil meinThere’s a pain in my heart,
bas ik sach yejust this one truth remains:
jhutha toh tha tera dil ka laganathat your love was nothing but a lie.
dard hai dil meinThere’s a pain in my heart.
bas ik sach yeJust this one truth remains:
jhutha toh tha tera dil ka laganathat your love was nothing but a lie.
jab jab aayi yaad teri haayeWhenever your memory haunts me, oh,
naino mein ho ashko ka thikhanamy eyes become a home for tears.
aisa lamha koi na hoMay there never be a moment
jab dil bhi rota nahiwhen my heart doesn’t weep.
jitani samajh hai ishq ki humkoFrom what I understand of ‘ishq’ (love),
aisa toh ishq hota nahi…this isn’t how love’s supposed to be.
tera chhod jaana,Your walking away,
tera chhod jaana,your leaving me,
tera chhod jaanayour departure
bardasht hota nahiis something I can’t bear.
itne be-dardi kyun huye tumWhy’ve you become so heartless?
aise toh na theiYou weren’t like this before.
itne be-dardi kyu huye tumWhy’ve you turned so cruel?
aise toh na thei, tum kabhiYou were never like this, not ever.
meri tarah bheegein palkein tumhariI wish your lashes would get wet like mine,
chaho jo bhi tum miley na kabhiand that you’d never find what you desire.
maana soch ke ishq kiya naI admit I didn’t love you with reason,
dil toda toh kyun todabut if you broke my heart, then why’d you do it?
kasmein waade sang jeene keThose oaths and promises of living together—
karke tuney kyun chorhawhy’d you break them and leave?
aisa lamha koi na hoMay there never be a moment
jab dil bhi rota nahiwhen my heart doesn’t weep.
jitani samajh hai ishq ki humkoFrom what I understand of ‘ishq’ (love),
aisa toh ishq hota nahithis isn’t how love’s supposed to be.
tera chhod jaanaYour walking out
bardasht hota nahiis something I can’t bear.
tera chhod jaanaYour abandonment
bardasht hota nahiis something I can’t bear.
ro-ro ke haaye meri thak gayi akhiyaanOh, my eyes have grown weary from crying,
taaron ko bhi sang rotey dekhunI even see the stars weeping with me.
ro-ro ke haaye meri thak gayi akhiyaanOh, my eyes are exhausted from weeping,
taaron ko bhi sang rotey dekhunI see the stars crying along with me.
mere thei tum, tumhe maana tha apnaYou were mine, I considered you my own;
kaise kisi ka hotey dekhunhow can I watch you become someone else’s?
deta hu iss dil ko tassaliI try to comfort this heart of mine,
ke dil chup kyun hota nahiasking why it won’t just stay quiet.
aur bhi tut-te hain dil yaaraOther hearts shatter too, my friend,
toota tu dil iklauta nahiyours isn’t the only one that’s broken.
aisa lamha koi na hoThere isn’t a single moment,
jab dil bhi rota nahiwhen the heart doesn’t weep.
jitani samajh hai ishq ki humkoFrom what I understand of love,
aisa toh ishq hota nahiit shouldn’t really be like this.
tera chhod jaana,Your walking away,
tera chhod jaana,your leaving me behind,
tera chhod jaanayour sudden departure,
bardasht hota nahiis something I just can’t bear.
