Duhaai Lyrics English Translation by Saahel
The poet describes a love so consuming that even his shadow disappears with his beloved. ‘Grant me my annihilation,’ he pleads, asking for a complete end to the pain. The words show a raw vulnerability, as he admits to losing himself in the ‘fires of love.’
Dil pe aisi chot lagi haiMy heart’s been dealt such a heavy blow
Tu mila na mili tanhaiI didn’t find you, nor could I find peace in solitude
Tu gaya aise jaise keYou left in such a way that,
Na rahi koi parchaaieven my shadow has vanished with you
Sajna tu mujhko judaai de deMy love, just grant me this separation
Meri jindadi saari tu rihaayi de deGive my entire life its ultimate release
Ab na seene se lagana mujheDon’t hold me close to your chest anymore
Dil se bhula dena, mujhko fana denaWipe me from your heart, let me be destroyed
Aisi saza denaGive me a sentence just like this
Sajna tu mujhko judaai de deMy love, just grant me this separation
Meri jindadi sari tu rihaayi de deGive my entire life its ultimate release
Ab na seene se laga na mujheDon’t hold me close to your heart anymore
Dil se bhula denaErase me from your memories
Mujko fana denaGrant me my annihilation
Aisi saza denaGive me a sentence just like this
Maana ke hum bade masoom theI admit that I was incredibly naive
Ishq ki aag me khud ko jala baitheI ended up burning myself in the fires of love
Maana ke hum bade mehfooz theI thought I was sheltered and safe
Husn ke khel me khud ko gawa baitheBut I lost my soul in this game of beauty
Toota bharam, ahle karamThe illusion’s broken, O noble one,
Phir kya gilaso what’s there to lament?
Sajna tu mujhko judaai de deMy love, just grant me this separation
Meri jindadi di sari tu rihaayii de deGive my entire life its ultimate release
Ab na seene se laga na mujheDon’t hold me close to your heart anymore
Dil se bhula denaErase me from your memories
Mujko fana denaGrant me my annihilation
Aisi saza denaGive me a sentence just like this
Sajna tu mujhko judaai de deMy love, just grant me this separation
Meri jindadi di sari tu rihaayii de deGive my entire life its ultimate release
Ab na seene se laga na mujheDon’t hold me close to your heart anymore
Dil se bhula denaErase me from your memories
Mujko fana denaGrant me my annihilation
Aisi saza denaGive me a sentence just like this
Tumne bhi manzar dekha haiYou’ve witnessed the spectacle yourself,
Har khwab ki tabahi kaof every single dream being destroyed
Maine likh di hai duhaaiI’ve penned down my final, desperate plea
Ab de sila begunahi kaNow grant me the reward for my innocence
