Simar Doraha fills the song with specific memories. He mentions naming future children and studying together. He notes, ‘she was slightly chubby, just like you,’ connecting past and present with clear, physical details.
Tere vang hi koi pehlan viSomeone before you, just like you,
Kardi si bada pyaar mainuused to love me a lot.
Shakk kardi si bada lardi siShe used to doubt me and fight a lot,
Tan vi rabb vargi si naar mainueven then, that girl was like God to me.
Si fan purane gaaneyan deShe was a fan of old songs,
Rakhdi si naam niyaanya deshe used to decide names for our future kids.
Door jaan ton oh vi dardi siShe, too, was afraid of going far away.
Ikk kudi tere ton pehlan viA girl before you,
Gallan tere aaliyan kardi siused to say things just like you do.
Ikk kudi tere ton pehlan viA girl before you,
Gallan tere aaliyan kardi siused to say things just like you do.
Kinna si khud nu change kitaI changed myself so much,
Na unhnu kade ravaiya siI never made her cry.
Kujh hor tan karna door di gallLet alone doing anything else,
Main hath vi kade nahi laaya siI never even laid a hand on her.
Tere vang nashe ton rokdi rahiJust like you, she kept stopping me from my bad habits,
Gall gall utte mainu tokdi rahishe kept scolding me over every little thing.
Jatt sir utte hath dhardi siShe used to place her hand on my head to comfort me.
Ikk kudi tere ton pehlan viA girl before you,
Gallan tere aaliyan kardi siused to say things just like you do.
Ikk kudi tere ton pehlan viA girl before you,
Gallan tere aaliyan kardi siused to say things just like you do.
Kujh pyaar si intercaste saadaPartly because our love was intercaste,
Si pachtaundi yaari laaye tonshe regretted falling in love with me.
Uhne vi mummy nu dasseya siShe had also told her mother,
Dardi si dad te bhai tonbut she was scared of her dad and brother.
Gall kardi si oh raat saariShe used to talk to me all night long,
Moti jihi tere vang payishe was slightly chubby, just like you,
Mere naal jadon oh parhdi siwhen she used to study with me.
Ikk kudi tere ton pehlan viA girl before you,
Gallan tere aaliyan kardi siused to say things just like you do.
Ikk kudi tere ton pehlan viA girl before you,
Gallan tere aaliyan kardi siused to say things just like you do.
Ise lai Simar tainu rokda rehndaThat’s why Simar keeps holding you back,
Phir dubaara luttne tonfrom being ruined all over again.
Main maut ton ona nahi dardaI’m not as afraid of death,
Jinna darda aa dil tuttne tonas I am afraid of a broken heart.
Oh vi kehndi si chhadna nahiShe also used to say that she wouldn’t leave,
Ena saukha dil chon kadhna nahiand it wouldn’t be easy to erase me from her heart.
Haami har gall vich bhardi siShe used to agree with everything I said.
Ikk kudi tere ton pehlan viA girl before you,
Gallan tere aaliyan kardi siused to say things just like you do.
Ikk kudi tere ton pehlan viA girl before you,
Gallan tere aaliyan kardi siused to say things just like you do.
