Tere bina guzariyaan tere yaadan

Kyon dil nu rakhaan samajh ni aai (na aai)

Tere pyaar di yeh dukh badiyaan

Mukh morh ke chali tu kithe (ni kithe)


[Pre-Chorus]

Ajj bhi yaad aawe beetiya pal

Hanju vi sath chadd gaye hal

Mere dil di pukar si tu, kalli raat nu

Akhiyan ch ton khilkari, oh sadee gal nu

Phulla varge supne jive, cha gaye eh supne

Yaad teri bas chubdi kasoori baang

Banotiyan vich howan rehnda aae rang

Chubhda ai teri yaadan di maa

Ajj bhi yaad aawe beetiya pal

Hanju vi sath chadd gaye hal

Mere dil di pukar si tu, kalli raat nu

Akhiyan ch ton khilkari, oh sadee gal nu

Phulla varge supne jive, cha gaye ni supne

Phulla varge supne jive, cha gaye sapno

Phulla varge supne jive, cha gaye eh supne

Lyrics: Amar Pardesi (c) 2024


[Intro]

[Dhol and Tumbi Instrumental Intro]


[Verse 1]

Without you, I have passed the days

Why my heart can't understand (can't understand)

Your love brings such sorrow

You turned away, where did you go

[Pre-Chorus]

Even today, memories of past moments come back

Tears have left their mark as well



[Chorus]

You were the calling of my heart, late at n ight

The sound of your laughter in my eyes, they echo my words

Dreams like flowers, filled our desires



[Instrumental Break]

[Sitar Solo]


[Verse 2]

Your memories prick like a sharp thorn

My mind filled with thoughts of you only (only)

In my dreams, colors still remain

Agonizing are the memories of this Mother



[Pre-Chorus]

Even today, those past moments come back

Tears have left their mark too


[Chorus]

You were the calling of my heart, late at night

The sound of your laughter in my eyes, they echo my words

Dreams like flowers, filled our dreams




[Outro]

[Repeat and Fade]

Dreams like flowers, filled our dreams

Dreams like flowers, filled our dreams...
