Lyrics and translation Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan - Jenu karda en yaad dila

Jenu karda en yaad dila

Jehnu karna e yaad dila os nahiyo aauna
Akhe lag ja haje vi dila mere
Ohnu yaad na kar ohne aawna nahi
Ohde aawan di tu evein aas rakhi
Phera os bedard ne paawna nahi
Dhakka kha na vich haneriyan de
Diwa pyar da os jagawna nahi
Kajja rehna udeekan da buha saadik
Kunda hun kade os khadkaawna nahi

Jehnu karna e yaad dila os nahiyo aauna
Ehna yaadan de sahaare tere kise kam nahi

Jaawan waale mud nahi aaunde
Vichchad gaye ni phera paunde

Oh na aaunde umaran saari
Jehde jaande maar udaari

Karke kaul nibhaunda koi nahi
Jaake ke waapis aunda koi nahi

Pyar bhul ja tu os harjaayi da
Hajje vi dila meri mann lai

Kadi der na launda oh saunh rabb di
Kite kaulan da je ohnu paas hunda

Kise dukh ni wadaunde
Kise mud nahi auna
Jehne mod leha mukh
Ohne phera nahi pauna

Mukh mod gayan tethon
Jhok wakh na wasaunda
Hunda pyar te oh kade
Tenu chchad ke na jaunda

Jehnu karna e yaad dila os nahiyo aauna
Ehna yaadan de sahaare tere kise kam nahi
Jehda tur jaawe ik waari mud ke nahi aaunda
Hun e athru nakaare tere kise kam nahi

Laa le dukhan da takewan zara ankh nood lai
Ghadi pal tu vi neendran di peengh jhooth lai
Kanu takdan e evein ehna wal raat nu
Hun chann te sitaare tere kise kam nahi

Ohne auna hunda kadi nahi si deran launiyan
Ohnu bhul ke vi terian nahi yaadan auniyan
Evein rakh na tu jhalleya udeekan ohdiyan
Jehde laa gaya oh laare tere kise kam nahi

Howe yaar jadon kol te bahaar maza dewe
Bagahan vich bulbulan shor ni machaundiyan
Saun diyan rutan samay pyar de sajaundiyan

Zindagi ch thode din hunde ne bahaar de
Oh lainde jehde katheyan guzaarde

Sajna naal hi changiyan lagdiyan
Saun diyan barsaatan

Howe yaar jadon kol te bahaar maza dewe
Phulan kaliyan da haar te singaar maza dewe
Change lagde ne yaaran naal samay pyar de
Hun e rutan de nazaare tere kise kam nahi

Jeuna wakh reh ke yaar ton nahi changa lagda
Mela chchad de tu bhareya paraya jag da
Laye jehde kolon saadika tu ohnu mod de
Hun e saanh vi udhaare tere kise kam nahi

Jenu karda en yaad dila

The one I keep thinking about, they are not coming
Even now, my heart is still attached to them
Don't remember them, they are not coming
You keep hoping they will come
But that heartless person will not come
Don't be disappointed in the darkness
Don't light the lamp of love
Stop waiting at the door of hope
The lock will never be opened

The one I keep thinking about, they are not coming
These memories are of no use to you

Those who leave do not return
Once separated, they are never found again

They will never come back in our lifetime
Who left us and flew away

No one fulfills their promises
No one comes back

Forget the love of that unfaithful one
Even now, my heart, come to your senses

They will never come, I swear by God
If they cared about promises

They don't care about the pain
They will never return
Once they turn their face away
They will never be found again

Once they turn their face away
The wound will never heal
If there was love, they would never
Leave you

The one I keep thinking about, they are not coming
These memories are of no use to you
Once they leave, they never look back
Now your tears are useless

Come, take a sip of sorrow and close your eyes
For a moment, sleep and forget
Why are you awake at night?
Now the moon and stars are of no use to you

If they had to come, they would not have delayed
Even if you forget them, they will not remember you
Don't wait for them in vain
The ones who brought you here are of no use to you

When a friend is near, it is spring
The nightingales do not sing in the gardens
The monsoon season brings the time for love

Life has few spring days
Pass them with those you love

With a lover, the monsoon rains are beautiful
The monsoon showers

When a friend is near, it is spring
A garland of flowers and makeup is beautiful
Time spent with friends is beautiful
Now the sights of the season are of no use to you

There is nothing better than being with a friend
Leave the crowded world and come to me
The one who brought you here, turn them away
Now even truth is of no use to you
