Us Rah Par Lyrics w/ Translation – Ali Hamza & Ali Zafar feat. Strings #CokeStudio10 | LAST

Hum kyun chalein us raah par
Jis raah par sab hi chalein
Hum kyun chalein us raah par
Jis raah par sab hi chalein

Why should we take the road
That everyone has taken?
Why should we take the road
That everyone has taken?

Kyun naa chune woh raasta
Jis par nahi koyi gaya

Why shouldn’t we choose the path
That no one has traveled?

Dil udaas nazren udaas
Dil-bar nahi gar aas paas
Din raat aah bharna
Aur be-qaraar rehna

The heart feels bereft, The gaze feels bereft
When the beloved is not near
Sighing with yearning day and night
And waiting eagerly and restlessly

Yeh khel hi be-kaar hai
Kuchh bhi nahi angaar hai
Is aag mein jalein kyun
Pal pal jiyen marein kyun

This game is a useless one
It is nothing but a slow-burning fire
Why should we burn in this fire?
Why should we experience this repeated death?

Hum kyun chalein us raah par
Jis raah par sab hi chalein
Kyun naa chune woh raasta
Jis par nahi koyi gaya

Why should we take the road
That everyone has taken?
Why shouldn’t we choose the path
That no one has traveled?

Bas dekhne ki baat hai
Ik ‘ishq kya hain hazaar ‘ishq
Laakhon sanam chhupe hain
Aur raah dekhte hain

This is something to think about
There’s not just one love but a thousand loves
Thousands of idols are hiding here
Waiting for us

Chalo ‘ishq ka kaha maan kar
Apna sanam pehchaan kar
Kisi aise rang rang jaayein
Sab se juda nazar aayein
Sab se juda nazar aayein
Sab se juda nazar aayein

Let’s give in to what love desires
And recognize our idol
And let ourselves be dyed in such a hue
That we stand apart from everyone
That we stand apart from everyone
That we stand apart from everyone

Hum kyun chalein us raah par
Jis raah par sab hi chale
Hum kyun chalein us raah par
Jis raah par sab hi chale
Kyun naa chune woh raasta
Jis par nahi koyi gaya (x2)

Why should we take the road
That everyone has taken?
Why should we take the road
That everyone has taken?
Why shouldn’t we choose the path
That no one has traveled?

Koyi gaya (x3)

…no one has travelled?

Yo Soch Lyrics with Translation – Ali Zafar, Natasha Khan | #CokeStudio10

Yo soch ke yam zah nan
Pah zṛah ke yo armaan paate sho
Da zṛah me umanal
Da zhwand me ṭol sta pah noom sho

A thought occupies me today
That a longing of my heart has remained unfulfilled
I have listened to my heart
And devoted my entire life to waiting for you

Main bhi hoon yoonhi be-qarar
Hai kis ka mujhe intezaar
Jaane kaisa hai naata
Koyi kyun hai yaad aata
Jis ki halchal hai kaisi hai rau

My heart, too, is restless
Who is it that I am waiting for?
It’s difficult to explain this connection
Why do I have this yearning for someone?
Who is it who has caused this turmoil in my heart?

Da zṛah me umanal
Da zhwand me ṭol sta pah noom sho

I have listened to my heart
And devoted my entire life to waiting for you

Wakh raatah waayi da sama raatah khayi
Sta khiyaal afsaanah sho
Garzam ra garzam dunya laṭawum
Guloonah spaṛdi aw mṛaawi shu

Time tells me, the world around me shows me
That the thought of you has become just a tale
I go about searching the world for you
Flowers keep blossoming and fading away

Socha jis ko naa mila
Jaane kyoon aisa naa hua
Khaahish thi anjaani si
Main jis ke peechhe tha chala

I didn’t find the one who appeared in my thoughts
I don’t know why this didn’t happen
I had an unconscious sort of longing
Which I had set out to fulfill

Hai tujh ko bhi intizaar
Sah che yam ta nah yam
Tu bhi hai kuchh to be-qaraar
Kalah nah sta laarah goram
Kaisi hai yeh aag jis mein
Neemgaṛe keessah da zamoong
Ham jalte hain baar baar

You, too, are waiting for me
My whole being is linked with you
Your heart, too, is restless
I’ve been waiting for you since so long
What is this fire in which…
Our story is still incomplete
…we both burn again and again?

Yo soch ke yam zah nan
Pah zṛah ke yo armaan paate sho

A thought occupies me today
That a longing of my heart has remained unfulfilled

Main ne socha yahi tha
Yoon sang sang tere main jo chalta
To saaya karta aise neeli chhatri jaise

I had thought for certain
That if I had the chance to walk beside you
I would shade you from the sun like a cool blue umbrella

Main ne chaaha yahi tha
Tujhe pyaasa dekhoon nah
Ke barsoon main tere aangan aise koyi barkha jaise

My wish had been just this
That I should never see you thirsty
For I would descend over your courtyard like a raincloud

Da chartah na pah nwar ke waryaze raale
Ḍer khkule pasham de

Where did these clouds appear from in the scorching sunlight?
What a beautiful mist of rain

Hai tujh ko bhi intizaar
Tu bhi hai kuchh to be-qaraar
Jeet ke bhi naa jeeta
Tu ne bhi maani nahi haar

You, too, are waiting for me
Your heart, too, is restless
Even my victory felt hollow
You, too, did not give up hope

Hai tujh ko bhi intizaar
Sah che yam ta nah yam
Tu bhi hai kuchh to be-qaraar
Kalah nah sta laarah goram
Kaisi hai yih aag jis men
Neemgaṛe keessah da zamoong
Ham jalte hain baar baar

You, too, are waiting for me
My whole being is linked with you
Your heart, too, is restless
I’ve been waiting for you since so long
What is this fire in which…
Our story is still incomplete
…we both burn again and again?

Yo soch ke yam zah nan
Pah zṛah ke yo armaan paate sho

A thought occupies me today
That a longing of my heart has remained unfulfilled

Mujhse Pehli Si Muhabbat Lyrics with Translation - CokeStudio10 | Humera Channa, Nabeel Shaukat

Mujh se pehli si muhabbat
Mere mehboob na maang (x4)



Beloved, don’t ask me to
Love you as I loved you before

Maine samjha tha ke tu hai to darakhshaan hai hayaat
Tera gham hai to gham-e dahr ka jhagda kya hai

I had assumed that as long as I have you, life is radiant
What anguish in the world could possibly rival the anguish of being without you

Teri soorat se hai ‘aalam mein bahaaron ko sabaat
Teri aankhon ke siva duniya mein rakkha kya hai
Teri aankhon ke siva duniya mein rakkha kya hai
Tu jo mil jaaye to taqdeer nigoon ho jaaye
Yoon na tha main ne faqat chaaha tha yoon ho jaaye

Your face is what lends permanence to springtime in this world
What is there in the world except for the beauty of your eyes
What is there in the world except for the beauty of your eyes
If I gain you, destiny would bow down before me
It wasn’t so, I had merely wanted it to be so

Haan.. Mujh se pehli si muhabbat mere mehboob na maang
Mujh se pehli si muhabbat mere mehboob na maang

Beloved, don’t ask me to love you as I loved you before
Beloved, don’t ask me to love you as I loved you before

An-ginat sadiyon ke taareek baheemaanah talism
An-ginat sadiyon ke taareek baheemaanah talism
Resham-o atlas-o kam-khaab mein bunwaae hue
Ja-ba-ja bikte hue koocha-o baazaar mein jism
Khaak mein lithde hue khoon mein nahlaaye hue

The dark and savage enchantment of countless centuries
The dark and savage enchantment of countless centuries
Woven into silk and satin and brocade
Bodies everywhere being sold in lanes and marketplaces
Caked with dirt and bathed in blood

Lauṭ jaati hai idhar ko bhi nazar kya keeje
Ab bhi dil-kash hai tera husn magar kya keeje
Ab bhi dil-kash hai tera husn magar kya keeje
Aur bhi dukh hain zamaane mein muhabbat ke siva
Raahatein aur bhi hain wasl ki raahat ke siva

My gaze returns here as well, what can I do?
Your beauty is still enchanting, but what can I do?
Your beauty is still enchanting, but what can I do?
There are many other sorrows in this world besides the sorrow of love
There are many other delights besides the delight of union

Mujh se pehli si muhabbat
Mere mehboob na maang (x5)

Beloved, don’t ask me to Love you as I loved you before

Faasle Lyrics & Translation – Kaavish, Quratulain Balouch | Coke Studio 10

Huve faasale
Jhoothe silsile
Toote huve dil jaayein kahaan
Mujhe jo khushi mili naa kabhi
Jaaye tere sang jaaye tu jahaan

A chasm has opened up
All paths have failed
What cure is there now for broken hearts?
The happiness that always remained beyond my reach
May you be blessed with it wherever you may go

Meri yeh dua hai ke tera jeevan yunhi
Chalta rahe saari khwaahishen hon poori
Teri duniya mein na ho yeh kami
Na ho yeh kami

I pray fervently that you continue to prosper in life
And that all your hopes and dreams may come true
May your world never reflect the barrenness of mine
Never reflect the barrenness of mine

Yaad hai mujhe teri har adaa
Muskuraahatein teri
Tera mujh se chupke se yoon
Kehna ke “tu hai meri”

Your each and every memory is etched into my heart
The way you would smile at me
The way you would whisper to me that “You belong only to me”

Jaane yeh kya ho gayaa
Ho gaye judaa
Tere waaste sab hi raaste
Chhod ke main aayi yahaan
Tu toh naa mila
Yoonhi chal diya
Leke mera dil jaane tu kahaan

God only knows how it came to this pass
How we came to be driven apart
I abandoned everything for you
I burnt all my boats to come here to you
But you never became mine
You simply walked away
I don’t know where you disappeared, taking my heart with you

Jaaunga kahaan
Main toh hoon yahaan
Tere dil ki aahaton mein hoon

Where would I go?
I’m still right here
I’m present in every beat of your heart

Sapno mein tu
Sochon mein tu
Har lamhe mein tu
Dhadke yeh dil tere hi liye
Hoga kisi ka na ab yeh

You’re in my dreams when I sleep
In my thoughts when I’m awake
At each and every moment, you’re with me
My heart beats for no one but you
Now it will never belong to anyone else

Ja raha hoon main
Ja rahi hoon main
Ja raha hoon main
Ja rahi hoon main

I am saying goodbye
I am saying goodbye
I am saying goodbye
I am saying goodbye

Cha Rahi Kaali Ghata Lyrics & Translation – Hina Nasrullah & Amanat Ali | Coke Studio 10

Chha rahi kaali ghaṭa jiya mora lahraaye hai
Chha rahi kaali ghaṭa jiya mora lahraaye hai
Chha rahi kaali ghaṭa
Sun ri koyal baanwari tu
Sun ri koyal baanwari tu kyoon malhaar gaaye hai
Chha rahi kaali ghaṭa jiya mora lahraaye hai


Rainclouds are darkening the sky, enticing my heart to fill with foolish hopes
Rainclouds are darkening the sky, enticing my heart to fill with foolish hopes
clouds are darkening the sky
Why on earth, O demented cuckoo…
Why on earth, O demented cuckoo, are you singing a song of joy?
Rainclouds are darkening the sky, enticing my heart to fill with foolish hopes

Suno na suno na
Dil ki to zubaan naheen magar yeh bolta hai tum se jo
Poochh lo, poochho na
Yeh dhadkanon mein kya chhupa raha hai, aa ke khud hi jaan lo

Listen… Oh listen
Though the heart has no tongue to speak with, try to hear what it says to you
Ask… Oh ask
What are these heartbeats secretly saying to you? Come and find out for yourself

Main kaise karoon bayaan ke darmiyaan hijaab hain
Keh meri peehu peehu mein dard be-hisaab hain
Main kaise karoon bayaan ke darmiyaan hijaab hain
Keh meri peehu peehu mein dard be-hisaab hain

How can I express my feelings when there are so many veils between us?
My cry of ‘beloved, beloved’ (pihu, pihu) actually conceals immeasurable anguish
How can I express my feelings when there are so many veils between us?
My cry of ‘beloved, beloved’ (pihu, pihu) actually conceals immeasurable anguish

Ay papeeha aa idhar main bhi saraapa dard hoon
Aam par kyoon jam raha hai main bhi to aisi zard hoon
Farq itna hai ki us mein
Farq itna hai ki us mein ras hai mujh mein haaye hai
Chha rahi kaali ghaṭa jiya mora lahraaye hai
Chha rahi kaali ghaṭa

O cuckoo, come here, for I too am anguish through and through
Why do you perch on the mango fruit? Grief has turned me pale and yellow too
The difference is only that the mango is filled…
The difference is only that the mango is filled with sweet juice,
whereas I am filled with bitter and anguished sighs
Rainclouds are darkening the sky, enticing my heart to fill with foolish hopes
Rainclouds are darkening the sky

Saare aazaaron se baṛh kar ‘ishq ka aazaar hai
Aafaton mein jaan o dil ka ḍaalna be-kaar hai
Be-wafa se dil laga kar
Be-wafa se dil laga kar kya koyi phal paaye hai
Chha rahi

The affliction of love is greater than any other affliction
It is futile to let calamities overtake the heart and soul
…by loving someone faithless?
What can anyone stand to gain by loving someone faithless?
Rainclouds are…

Ay papeeha chup khuda ke waaste tu ho zara
Raat aadhi ho chuki hai ab tujhe kya ho gaya
Ay papeeha chup khuda ke waaste tu ho zara
Raat aadhi ho chuki hai ab tujhe kya ho gaya
Teri pi pi se papeeha
Teri pi pi se papeeha pi mujhe yaad aaye hai
Chha rahi kaali ghaṭa jiya mora lahraaye hai

O cuckoo, for God’s sake, be quiet please
Half the night has already passed – what has got into you now?
O cuckoo, for God’s sake, be quiet please
Half the night has already passed – what has got into you now?
Your cooing of ‘beloved, beloved’ (pihu, pihu)…
Your cooing of ‘beloved, beloved’ (pihu, pihu) makes me miss my beloved
Rainclouds are darkening the sky, enticing my heart to fill with foolish hopes

Main kaise karoon bayaan keh darmiyaan hijaab hain
Ki meri peehu peehu mein dard be-hisaab hain
Main kaise karoon bayaan keh darmiyaan hijaab hain
Ki meri peehu peehu mein dard be-hisaab hain
Main kaise karoon bayaan keh darmiyaan hijaab hain
Ki meri peehu peehu mein dard be-hisaab hain
Chha rahi kaali ghaṭa jiya mora lahraaye hai
Chha rahi kaali ghaṭa jiya mora

How can I express my feelings when there are so many veils between us?
My cry of ‘beloved, beloved’ (pihu, pihu) actually conceals immeasurable anguish
How can I express my feelings when there are so many veils between us?
My cry of ‘beloved, beloved’ (pihu, pihu) actually conceals immeasurable anguish
How can I express my feelings when there are so many veils between us?
My cry of ‘beloved, beloved’ (pihu, pihu) actually conceals immeasurable anguish
Rainclouds are darkening the sky, enticing my heart to fill with foolish hopes
Rainclouds are darkening the sky, enticing my heart…
