Lyrics and translation Kaler Kanth - Dukh

Dukh

Ve jah bedarda is dil vichon
Teri har ik yaad bhula deni
Main apne sabh armaana nu
Aj aap hi teeli la deni
Khat tukre tukre kar dene
Main Fook dena tasveeran nu
Khat tukre tukre kar dene
Main saad dena tasveeran nu

Jad tu hi nahin tan ki karne
Ehna kagaz diyan jageeran nu
Khat tukre tukre kar dene
Main saad dena tasveeran nu
Main Fook dena tasveeran nu

Asan bachpan wich banayea si
Ghar ralke kachi mitti da
Mainu ik ik lafz oh chete a
Teri pyar di pehli chithi da
Main dil de likheya vaaheya e
Tere pyar diyan tehreeran nu
Khat tukre tukre kar dene
Main Fook dena tasveeran nu
Main saad dena tasveeran nu

Ehna goongian boliyan tasveeran
Dukh vande na marjaane de
Ehna nu dard sunaunda san
Main rakh ke jagah sirahne de
Eh hor sagon tadfaundiyan san
Mere akhion vehnde neeran nu
Khat tukre tukre...

Main phull san ujjde gulshan da
Main bin khideyon kumlaya si
Mere lekhan de wich hauke san
Main ron layi jag te aaya san
Main sadik puchda rehna van
Hathan diyan chaar lakeeran nu
Khat tukre tukre...

Pain

You, who have no heart, have left me with nothing
But your memories, which I must forget.
My dreams, I must
Put out their flame, this day.
I will tear up our letters,
Burn your photos.
I will tear up our letters,
Burn your photos.

What else to do when you are gone?
With these papers you left behind?
I will tear up our letters,
Burn your photos.
I will burn your photos.

We built a house in childhood,
With mud from the river bed.
I remember every word,
From the first letter you wrote me,
My heart’s words, I’ve written
Of your love, in our poems.
I will tear up our letters,
Burn your photos.
Burn your photos.

These silent, speechless photos
Don’t bring me any solace,
I kept them near my pillow
To hear their pain.
They only torment me more
With the tears that flow from my eyes.
I will tear up our letters…

I was a flower in a fading garden,
I withered without you.
My letters cried out, full of pain.
I came to this world just to weep.
I ask myself, with all my heart,
What do these lines on my hand mean?
I will tear up our letters…
