The songwriter drafts specific, physical details to show the similarities between past and present. He mentions picking names for future children and being scolded over bad habits. Dorraha writes, ‘she was slightly chubby, just like you,’ making the comparison personal and direct.
Tere vang hi koi pehlan viSomeone before you, just like you,
Kardi si bahla pyar mainuused to love me a lot.
Shakk kardi si bada larhdi siShe’d doubt me and fight a lot,
Taan vi rabb vargi si naar mainueven then, that girl was like a goddess to me.
Si fan purane gaaneyan diShe was a fan of old songs,
Rakhdi si naam niyaaneyan deand she’d pick names for our future children.
Door jaan ton oh vi dardi siShe was also afraid of drifting apart.
Ik kudi tere ton pehlan viA girl before you,
Gallan tere valiyan kardi siused to say the exact same things you do.
Kinna si khud nu change keetaI’d changed myself so much,
Na ohnu kade ravaya siand I’d never made her cry.
Kujh hor taan karna door di gallForget about doing anything else,
Main hath vi kade nahi laaya siI’d never even laid a hand on her.
Tere vang nashe ton rokdi rahiJust like you, she kept stopping me from bad habits,
Gall-gall utte mainu tokdi rahiand she’d scold me over every little thing.
Jhatt sir utte hath dhardi siShe’d quickly place her hand on my head to make me swear.
Ik kudi tere ton pehlan viA girl before you,
Gallan tere valiyan kardi siused to say the exact same things you do.
Kujh pyar si inter-caste saadaOur love was an inter-caste relationship,
Si pachtaundi yaari laa tonand she regretted falling for me.
Ohne vi mummy nu dasta siShe’d also told her mother,
Dardi si dad te bhai tonbut she was terrified of her dad and brother.
Gall kardi si oh raat saariShe’d talk the entire night,
Moti jehi tere vang bhaariand she was slightly chubby, just like you,
Mere naal jadon oh baindi siwhenever she sat beside me.
Ik kudi tere ton pehlan viA girl before you,
Gallan tere valiyan kardi siused to say the exact same things you do.
Ese layi Simar tainu rokda rehndaThat’s why Simar keeps holding you back,
Phir dobara luttne tonfrom destroying me all over again.
Main maut ton onna nahi dardaI’m not as terrified of dying,
Jinna darda aan dil tuttne tonas I am of getting my heart broken.
Oh vi kehndi si chhadna nahiShe’d also say she’d never leave,
Aina saukha dil ‘chon kaddna nahiand that it wouldn’t be easy to forget her.
Haami har gall vich bhardi siShe’d agree with every single word I said.
Ik kudi tere ton pehlan viA girl before you,
Gallan tere valiyan kardi siused to say the exact same things you do.
