Aaj-kal haqiqat kuchh naaraaz hai

Nowadays the truth is a little cross

Waqt ke saath

With time

Kuchh koshishen kam huin

Some endeavors have lessened

Kuchh aadtein badlin

Some habits have changed

Kuchh bahaane mil gaye

Some excuses were found

Khud ko samjhaane ko

To console myself

Aaj subah, har roz ki tarah

Today morning, like every morning
Main uth chuki thi

I had woken up
Tum ab bhi soye the

You were still sleeping
Gehri neend ki chaadar odhe

Covered in the blanket of a deep sleep
Narm muskuraahat liye

With a warm smile
Kai aasmaanon ko paar kar

Traveling across some sky
Unn palkon ke tale

Resting within those lashes
Kya tum mujhse milne aaye the?

Did you come to meet me?

Jaanti hoon tumhe sapnon ka ilm nahi

I know that you have no knowledge of dreams
Phir bhi ji nahi maanta soche bina

Still the mind doesn't listen without thinking of it
Shaayad aaj apne sapnon mein tum mujhe bulaaoge

Maybe today you will call me in my dreams
Hum dher saari baatein karenge, theek?

We shall talk a lot, is that okay?
Bahut din ho gaye...

It's been a while...

Aaj dhoop phir nikli to

If the sun shines again today

Inn chinaaron se chhan kar

Then the rays filtering in from the Poplar trees

Jhelum mein behti

Flowing in the Jhelum River

Tum tak bhi pahunchegi

Will reach you as well

 

Ek Sandesa saath bheja hai

I've sent a message along with it

Tilla jogian par milna uss-se

Meet the rays on the Tilla Jogian

Zyaada der tak theherti hai wahan

Where it rests the longest

Kehti hai Ghouri aur Prithvi ki ranjish se mujhe kya?

What ties do I have to the enmity between Ghauri and Prithvi?

Ishq ke jogi ek kaum, ek zabaan, ek mulk

Hai na?

Don't lovers have one community, one language, one country?

 

To Raanjha, tum wahaan se nikal kar mere gaanv aao

So Raanjha, come over to my village from your side

Abba kehte hain ki dhoop ka koi rang nahi hota

My father says there is no color to the rays of the sun

 

Aaj dhoop phir nikli to pata nahi chalega

If the sun shines again, we won't be able to tell

Kaun si tumhari hai, kaun meri...

Which rays are yours and which are mine...
