Lyrics:

Na Din Langan Na Raat Langan Tere
Days and nights, they linger on
Ishq Ch Eich Na Saath Chalan Tere
In your love, there’s no moving on
Pyaar Diya Mulakatanu Bas
Just the meetings of affection
Dil Tarasan Teru Tadpan
Leave my heart in yearning, in your reflection.

Kidda Samjavaan Tainu
How do I explain to you
Pyardiyaan Raahan Vich Ve
The path of love, where it grew
Yaardiyaan Baanhaan Vich Ve
In the lanes of affection true
Sajan Je Saath Na Hove
If my beloved isn’t there, what do I do?

Loka De Taane Adaavi
Brushing off the world's scorn
Yaar Nu Gam Na Hove
My love should feel no mourn
Annkiyaan Vich Chehra Hove
In my eyes, your face does dwell
Je Hove Tera Hove
If it's yours, it's mine as well, isn't this tale so swell?

Kyun Na Karaan Das
Why not admit, my love for you
Pyaar Ve Mein Tere Naal
Life's beautiful, with you in view
Zindagi Haseen Bas
Just with you, my dear
Yaar Ek Tere Naal
But now tell me, are you near, or just a tear?

Kaise Jane Du Main Nazron Se Door
How do I let you drift away
Aankhiyon Mein Rakh Loon Bana Ke Main Noor
In my eyes, you’re the light of day
Saari Main Baatein Bas Tuhjse Karun
All I speak is of you, my dear

Jab Kalam Chalti Hai
When the pen moves
Tab Zakham Bhare Jaate Hain
It heals the wounds anew
Tab Alfaaz Dimaag Se Nahi
Words, not from mind but heart they flow
Dil Se Nikal Ke Aate Hai
Your memories still in my heart glow
Yaadein Teri Aaj Bhi
And our wounds.
Dil Mein Rehti Hai
Scattered across the pages they bloom
