Lyrics & Meaning:
Jo na kaha sun zara Listen to what wasn't said
koi nahin tere bin mera there is no one for me but you
tujhse hain saansien rawaan because of you, my breaths flow
Tu hai toh din ban gaya With you, the day has become bright
tere bina chhin gaya without you, it's snatched away
tujhse salaamat hai jahaan the world is safe with you
Mere dil ko tujhse aise jo yeh My heart is bound to you in such a way
baandha hai it's as if it's God's will
laage khuda ka iraada how can I not believe His word
Kaise na maanoon uska kaha you tell me
tu hi bata how can I not accept it
Main ibaadatein karoon teri haaniye I worship you, my beloved
sang tere hovey rooh meri haaniye with you, my soul is at peace
main magan hi phiroon meri haaniye I wander happily, my beloved
tu agge-agge chale you walk ahead
tere pichche-pichche aaun main I follow behind
Tu baarishon mein woh kuch kirnein dhoop ki You are those few rays of sunlight in the rain
teri ada mein hain nazrien yeh doobti I drown in your grace
Shaamon-sehar bahey jo tere rangon ki nadi The river of your colors flows from evening to morning
lehar lehar usmein hi rehna har sadi I wish to stay in its waves forever
Tera mera mera tera jo yeh naata hai This bond of yours and mine
laage khuda ka iraada feels like God's will
Kaise na maanoon uska kaha how can I not believe His word
tu hi bata you tell me
Main ibaadatein karoon teri haaniye I worship you, my beloved
sang tere hovey rooh meri haaniye with you, my soul is at peace
main magan hi phiroon meri haaniye I wander happily, my beloved
tu agge-agge chale you walk ahead
tere pichche-pichche aaun main I follow behind
