Shiddat
Ali Zafar • From “Roshni”
Roshni’s Shiddat Punjabi Lyrics English Translation
Zafar contrasts devotional imagery with accusations of betrayal, asking ‘If I’m unfaithful, then what does loyalty even mean?’ The lyric ‘The world was cruel, but you turned out to be the real artist’ sharpens the sting of broken trust.
Jadon Bolda Banere Utte KaanWhen a crow caws on the terrace ledge,
Dil Tut Jaave Mar Jaaiye ThaanMy heart breaks, and I die right on the spot.
Jiven Peer Lainde Rab Da Ae NaaJust as saints invoke the name of God,
Jadon Rab Teri Padh Lave BaanWhen God hears your heartfelt prayer.
Main Tere Utte Anj MardaI’m dying for you in such a way.
Main Tere Utte Anj MardaI’m dying for you in such a way.
Main Tere Utte Anj MardaI’m dying for you in such a way.
Main Tere Utte Anj MardaI’m dying for you in such a way.
Meri Shiddat Ko Yun Na AazmaDon’t test my intense passion like this.
Bujhi Ye Aag Tu Phir Se Na LagaDon’t relight this fire that’s already burned out.
Kya Hai Maajra Ye Mujhko Ye BataTell me, what’s really going on?
Bewafa Hoon To Kya Hai Phir WafaIf I’m unfaithful, then what does loyalty even mean?
Main Tere Utte Anj MardaI’m dying for you in such a way.
Main Tere Utte Anj MardaI’m dying for you in such a way.
Main Tere Utte Anj MardaI’m dying for you in such a way.
Main Tere Utte Anj MardaI’m dying for you in such a way.
Akhaan BoldiyanYour eyes are speaking,
Bul Tere Chup NeBut your lips remain silent.
Gal Mann Meri Saanjhe Saade Sukh NeListen to me, we share all our joys.
Oh Nishani Jehdi Tere Mere Pyaar DiThat token of the love we shared,
Sambh Rakhi Par Seena Saada Saad DiI’ve kept it safe, but it still burns my chest.
Karna Si Pyaar Tu Te Mere Dil Te Keete Vaar KyunIf you were meant to love me, why’d you attack my heart?
Rehna Si Naal Naal Pher Chhad Gayi Vichkaar KyunWe were supposed to stay together, so why’d you leave me halfway?
Loki Te Zalim San Par Nikli Kalakaar TuThe world was cruel, but you turned out to be the real ‘artist of betrayal’.
Thandiyan Si Chhawan Fer Ban Gayi Tu Angaar KyunYou were once my cooling shade, so why’d you turn into burning embers?
Takke Da Chhaddeya Na Tere AitbaarMy trust in you hasn’t left me worth a penny.
Jind Reh Jaani Do Din ChaarThis life’s only going to last a few more days.
Karanga Yaad Tainu Main Te Baar BaarI’ll keep remembering you over and over.
Sooli Chaadh Deve Paanve SansaarEven if the world sends me to the gallows.
Main Tere Utte Anj MardaI’m dying for you in such a way.
Main Tere Utte Anj MardaI’m dying for you in such a way.
Main Tere Utte Anj MardaI’m dying for you in such a way.
Main Tere Utte Anj MardaI’m dying for you in such a way.
