Eh zakham ne alle jo
These scars are still bleeding raw.
Eh zakham ne alle jo
These wounds haven't even begun to heal.
Saare ne gawaah mere
Everything around me bears witness to this pain.
Chann de naal rishta si
I shared a secret bond with the moonlight.
Taare ne gawaah mere
The stars themselves know my truth.
Chann de naal rishta si
The moon was my only confidant.
Taare ne gawaah mere
The twinkling stars are my silent witnesses.
Eh zakham ne alle jo
These fresh wounds are tearing me apart.
Saare ne gawaah mere
Everything acts as a witness to my sorrow.
Chann de naal rishta si
I once had a cosmic connection with the moon.
Taare ne gawaah mere
The stars will confirm my heartbreak.
Taare ne gawaah mere
They have seen all my hidden miseries.
Ho kasman pyaar diaan
Those sacred vows we exchanged,
Paani te likhiyan si
They were as fleeting as letters written on water.
Sone de rang jehiyan
Something that looked as precious as gold,
Lohe mull vikkiyan si
Was sold off like worthless scrap iron.
Mere palle reh gaye jo
All that I'm left clutching,
Mere palle reh gaye jo
All that remains in my hands,
Laare ne gawaah mere
Are those empty promises, standing as my witnesses.
Chann de naal rishta si
I had a deep link with the lunar light.
Taare ne gawaah mere
The constellations saw my betrayal.
Chann de naal rishta si
The moon was a witness to our love.
Taare ne gawaah mere
The stars hold the evidence of my ruin.
Taare ne gawaah mere
My tears are witnessed by the night sky.
Supnyan diyan lashan ne
My dreams lie dead and rotting,
Akhiyan vich radkan layi
Stinging and burning in my hollow eyes.
Dil tod ke chhadd gaye oh
They shattered my heart and walked away,
Dhadkan te tadphan layi
Leaving my pulse to wither in agony.
Peedan hauke hanju
The pain, the heavy sighs, the flowing tears,
Peedan hauke hanju
The accumulation of my suffering,
Khaare ne gawaah mere
These bitter, salty tears are my only witnesses.
Chann de naal rishta si
My soul was once tethered to the moon.
Taare ne gawaah mere
The stars watched me fall apart.
Chann de naal rishta si
The moon saw every drop of my despair.
Taare ne gawaah mere
The stars remain the chroniclers of my grief.
Taare ne gawaah mere
The heavens know exactly why I bleed.
