Kulshan Sandhu’s moving Punjabi song “Ki Kariye” explores the grief of a love gone. Translated from Punjabi to English, the title, “What to do,” reflects the singer’s uncertainty and hopelessness as he negotiates the ending of a relationship.
Preet Judge, the songwriter, captures a guy trying to come to terms with the truth of his wounded heart in his sincere songs. From the chorus line “Ki Kariye Ki Kariye Eh Dil Mannne Nu Teyar Nahin,” “What to do, what to do, this heart is not ready to accept.” The song’s central idea—denial and the impossibility to go on—is captured here. Examining the singer’s emotions of uncertainty, betrayal, and residual optimism, “Ki Kariye” is a natural and honest portrait of loss.
Kulshan Sandhu’s Ki Kariye Lyrics English {Meaning}
Hor Kise Ne Thаn Lai Layi Main Tera Hаqdar Nаhin,
Someone else has taken my place; I am no longer entitled to you.
Pehlan Wali Oh Mohabbat Hun Sade Vichkar Nahin,
That old love is no longer with us.
Main Te Jan’da Ke Hun Tainu Mere Nal Pyar Nahin,
I know that you don’t love me anymore.
Ki Kariye Ki Kariye Eh Dil Mannne Nu Teyar Nahin,
What can I do? The heart isn’t ready to accept it.
Ehvi Sachi Hai Jan Wale Nu Kise Nu Rokeya Nai,
It’s true, my beloved; no one can prevent someone from leaving.
Ehvi Jhuth Nаi Tu Kade Mere Bare Socheyа Nаi,
This is also not a lie that you never thought about me.
Chup Chapite Teriyan Bahan An Buhe Te Khaddiyan Ne,
Your memories silently make their way to my threshold.
Buriyan Adtаn Aini Chheti Kithe Pichhа Chhad Diyan Ne,
It is not that easy to leave behind the bad habits.
Sade Sajjan Ajjkal Sadi Lainde Bilkul Sar Nahin,
My darling doesn’t care about us any longer.
Kehnde Si Jo Inch Vi Yara Tere Ton Asi Bahar Nahin,
She used to claim that she always followed my instructions.
Kar Kar Thak Gaye Nashukre Hun Chakde Sadi Call Nahin,
I’m tired of trying. O ungrateful one, you don’t even answer my calls.
Ki Kariye Ki Kariye Eh Dil Mannne Nu Teyar Nahin,
What can I do? The heart isn’t ready to accept it.
Chat Purani Khol-kholke Parhdi Hauke Na,
She opens up old chats and read them, sighing.
Hun Vi Mere Karke Kise Nal Larhdi Hoke Na,
Do you still fighting with someone over me?
Rabb Jane Mainu Bhul Gayi Hou Yа Jan Ke Miss Nai Kareya,
God knows if you’ve forgotten me, or if you’re intentionally not missing me.
Is Vari Marjani Nae Mainu Birthday Wish Nai Kareya,
This time, my beloved, you didn’t even wish me on my birthday.
Beshak Hauliyan Hundiyan Hunda Yadаn Da Koi Bhar Nahin,
There’s no limit to the pain of memories, even if they fade slowly.
Jeena Mushqil Hoya Chandra Tan Vi Mannda Har Nahin,
Even life has become tough, yet the heart refuses to give up.
Preet Judge Nu Sachi Hun Tan Kise Utte Aitbar Nahin
I swear, I don’t trust anybody anymore.
Ki Kаriye Ki Kariye Eh Dil Mannne Nu Teyаr Nahin
What can I do? The heart isn’t ready to accept it.
