Tere Bin...

Starting with a beautiful song of Rabbi Shergil. This song is really close to my heart.
Took me long to understand the meaning of this...

Tere bin,sanu sonia,
koi hor nahio labhna.
Jo deve, ruh nu sakun,
chukke jo nakhra mera.

(besides you, my love
I won't find anybody else
who can give peace to my soul,
and indulge me/ bear my “Nakhras")

Ve mein sare ghum ke vekhia
Amrika , roos, malaysia
kittey vi koi fark si
har kise di koi shart si
koi mangda mera si sama
koi hun da surat te fida
koi mangda meri si vafa
na koi mangda meriyan bala

( I have visited all places,
America, Russia, Malaysia
there wasn't any difference
they all had some condition
some asked for my time
some were fascinated with my face
some demanded my fidelity
nobody wanted my demons )

Tere bin, hor na kise,
mangni merian bala.
tere bin, hor na kise,
karni dhup vich chhan.

(Other than you ,no one else,
wanted my demons.
other than you, no one else,
will shade me in the sun.)

Jiven rukia si tun zara
nahion bhulna main sari umar
jiven akhia si akhan chura
"rovenga sanu yad kar"
hasia si main hasa ajeeb
(par) tu nahi si hasia
dil vich tera jo raaz si
mainu tu kyon ni dasia
Tere bin, sanu eh raz,
kise hor nahion dasna
tere bin, peerh da ilaaj
kis vaid kolon labhna

( The way you paused slightly
I shan't forget all my life
you said, looking away
"you will weep in my memory"
I laughed strangely
but you didn't
you had a secret in your heart
why didn't you tell me?

besides you,
nobody else will ever tell this secret to me
besides you,No druid
has the cure to my illness)

Milia si ajj mainu
tera ik patra
likhia si jis 'te
tun shayar varey shah da
par ke si osnu
hanjnu ik duliya
akhan 'ch band si
seh raaz ajj khulia
ki tere bin
eh mere hanjnu
kise hor
nahio chumna
ki tere bin

eh mere hanjhu
mitti vich rulnha

( I found today
a note of yours
on which you had scribbled
a various couplet of Shah (poet),
after reading which
a teardrop fell
which was locked in my eye
It was revealed today
that other than you
these tears of mine
won't be kissed by
anybody else,
that other than you
these tears of mine
will wither in the dust).
