ha tere bin naa lage dil, sanse na ye chale
na kaha jaaye, na saha jaaye, duri ka dard ye
jeeya jaye naa, jeeya jaye naa
jeeya jaye naa tere bina

puchho to kaise main ji raha, ashko ko apne main pi raha
puchho to kaise main ji raha, ashko ko apne main pi raha
lab pe hai aati jab hasrate, dhota hu hontho ko si raha
ha tere bin naa lage dil, sanse na ye chale
na kaha jaaye, na saha jaaye, duri ka dard ye
jeeya jaye naa, jeeya jaye naa
jeeya jaye naa tere bina

sochata hu in sagar ki leharo ko dekh kar
kyun ye kinare se takra kar laut jati hai
karti hai kinare se bewafai
ya sagar se wafa nibhati hai

tujhko bhi hoga gam to, aankhe bhi hogi nam to
najare bhi tu churayega
dil bhi dukhega tera, dam bhi ghutega tera
tu bhi yu ji na payega

Without you, the heart stills, breath forgets its dance,
Words choke on the tongue, endurance cracks, the pain expands.
Life withers, life dissolves,
Life, bereft of you, is lost.

Ask how I endure, a silent sea,
Drinking the tears that constantly seek release.
Ask how I survive, a crumbling façade,
Sealing the whispers on my lips, a hidden creed.
Without you, the heart stills, breath forgets its dance,
Words choke on the tongue, endurance cracks, the pain expands.
Life withers, life dissolves,
Life, bereft of you, is lost.

I gaze upon the ocean's restless heart,
And wonder why the waves retreat, then start
To crash against the shore, and turn again.
Do they betray the land, or stay true to the ocean's chain?

If sorrow claims your soul, and tears descend,
If your gaze falters, your spirit bends,
If your heart aches with a familiar sting,
And breath becomes a struggle, barely clinging,
Then you, too, will find,
Life without me, you’ll never find.
