Why Not Me Lyrics Translation – Husan | Jai Virk
Jai Virk uses striking lines like ‘the fingers that should have been running through my hair, you’re busy spinning a weapon with them’ to highlight the disconnect in the relationship. The narrator laments how her love has dimmed her glow, while her partner’s focus remains on material possessions and a dangerous lifestyle. The lyrics writer contrasts personal neglect with public bravado.
Jinna Unglan Ch Honiyan Si ZulfanThe fingers that should have been running through my hair,
Ohna Vich Pi#tol Tu Nachayi Phire Veyou’re busy spinning a weapon with them.
Mainu Saunkan Ji Lagge Jatta Tera AslaYour weaponry feels like a rival to me,
Jihnu Har Time Hikk Naal Layi Phire Vewhich you keep close to your chest all the time.
Akhan Chon Pyaar Na DisseI can’t see love in your eyes,
Tutt Painiyan Ton Surma Hi Takdathey only stare at my eyeliner.
Asla Hi Mere Nalon Changa Suneya VeI’ve heard that your weapon is better than me,
Jihda Shreyaam Naal Naal Rakhdawhich you openly keep right by your side.
Haye Suniyan Ne Dekh Baahan Naale AddiyanOh, look at my bare arms and heels,
Jhanjran Te Vangan Ki Ne Gallan Vaddiyananklets and bangles are just too much to ask for.
Tere Naal Laake Rang Phikka Pai GayaMy glow has faded since I fell in love with you,
Rakhda Ae Bhawein Lishka Ke Gaddiyaneven though you keep your cars shining brightly.
Raazinaameyan Ch Phirda Ae Mohri BaniyaYou roam around playing the leader in making settlements,
Dil Jatti Da Ve Raaji Tainu Disda Hi Nahibut you don’t even see that my heart isn’t at peace.
Yaariyan Te Likhda Ae Jai VirkYou write songs about friendships, Jai Virk,
Mere Koke Di Tareef Te Kyun Likhda Hi Nahiwhy don’t you ever write praising my nose pin?
Lagge Kharcha Najaayaz Mere Suit DaYou think spending on my clothes is a waste,
Mehnge Mull Di Mustang Aap Chakdawhile you drive around in an expensive Mustang yourself.
Asla Hi Mere Nalon Changa Suneya VeI’ve heard that your weapon is better than me,
Jihda Shreyaam Naal Naal Rakhdawhich you openly keep right by your side.
Most Wanted Touch Deya SoneyaYou have the vibe of a wanted man, my love,
Gaddi Vich Jihde Tere Bande Naal Vewith those guys sitting with you in the car.
Ohna Di Report Phire Mangdi PoliceThe police are busy looking for their records,
Tere Saari Hi Dihaadi Jihde Rehnde Naal Vethe ones who stay with you all day long.
Haye Soch Soch Patla Ohda Dil DardaOh, my fragile heart gets scared thinking about it,
Tu Vailpuneyan Ton Kahton Ni Kinara Kardawhy won’t you distance yourself from this dangerous lifestyle?
Guru Ghar Jaake Mangdiyan Sukhan TeriyanI go to the Gurdwara to pray for your safety,
Tu Dewein Chhad Aadatan Ve Maadiyan Ne Jihdiyanwishing you’d leave those bad habits of yours.
Milda Nahi Time Deke Mulaakaat DaYou can’t find time even after promising to meet,
Pehle Bol Te Yaaran Layi Gaddi Haqq Dabut you drive off at the very first call for your friends.
Asla Hi Mere Nalon Changa Suneya VeI’ve heard that your weapon is better than me,
Jihda Shreyaam Naal Naal Rakhdawhich you openly keep right by your side.
The lyrics of ‘Why Not Me’ challenge traditional roles in relationships. Husan and Jai Virk deliver a song that is both a critique of toxic masculinity and a heartfelt plea for balance.
