Roman script
Teriyaan raahwaan
Teriyaan raahwaan
Sohniya tak ke beh gaiyaan
Teriyaan raahwaan
Sohniya tak ke beh gaiyaan
Aaja dil diya jaaniyaan
Shaamaan pai gaiyaan
I’ve been standing here waiting all day
I’ve been standing here waiting all day
Beloved, and now I’m losing hope
I’ve been standing here waiting all day
Beloved, and now I’m losing hope
Come already, my darling love
The day has turned to dusk
Shaamaan pai gaiyaan (x6)
The day has turned to dusk
Tere dam diyaan khairaan
Mangaan chuk chuk baanhwaan
Tere dam diyaan khairaan
Mangaan chuk chuk baanhwaan
Mera koi vi na dardi
Kinoon haal sunaawaan
Haaye kinoon haal sunaawaan
Over and over, I lift up my hands to pray for your well-being
Over and over, I lift up my hands to pray for your well-being
I have no one who will listen. Whose shoulder should I cry on?
Oh whose shoulder should I cry on
Was na challe taqdeer te
Haar ke beh gaiyaan
Aaja dil deya jaaniyaan
Shaamaan pai gaiyaan
I cannot change anything, and accept my defeat at the hands of fate
Come already, my darling love
The day has turned to dusk
Shaamaan pai gaiyaan (x6)
The day has turned to dusk
Kee dam da bharosa yaar
Dam aawe na aawe
Kee dam da bharosa yaar
Dam aawe na aawe
Chhad jhagde te kariye pyaar
Chhad jhagde te kariye pyaar
Dam aawe na aawe
Kee dam da bharosa yaar
Dam aawe na aawe
Dam aawe na aawe
Kee dam da bharosa yaar
Dam aawe na aawe
Dam aawe na aawe
We can never know, beloved,
Which moment might be our last
We can never know, beloved,
Which moment might be our last
Let’s forget everything and simply love each other
Let’s forget everything and simply love each other
Any moment could be our last
We can never know, beloved
Which moment might be our last
Any moment could be our last
We can never know, beloved
Which moment might be our last
Any moment could be our last
Kise noon Kee kahna yaari
aape main laayi ve
‘ishq tere ne keeta mainoon shaidaayi ve
How can I hold anyone else at fault?
The blame is my own for daring to love
My passion for you has driven me beyond sanity
Kise noon Kee kahna yaari
aape main laayi ve
‘ishq tere ne keeta mainoon shaidaayi ve
Naeen pal da koyi e’tibaar
How can I hold anyone else at fault?
The blame is my own for daring to love
My passion for you has driven me beyond sanity
There is simply no trusting…
Naeen pal da koyi e’tibaar
Dam aawe na aawe
Kee dam da bharosa yaar
Dam aawe na aawe
Kee dam da bharosa yaar
Dam aawe na aawe
Kee dam da bharosa yaar
Dam aawe na aawe
Kee dam da bharosa yaar
Dam aawe na aawe
There is simply no trusting
Which moment might be our last
We can never know, beloved
Which moment might be our last
We can never know, beloved
Which moment might be our last
We can never know, beloved
Which moment might be our last
We can never know, beloved
Which moment might be our last
Any moment could be our last
Dam aawe na aawe (x12)
Any moment could be our last
Kee dam da bharosa yaar
We can never know, beloved, which moment…
