ਜੇ ਤੂੰ ਸਾਨੂੰ ਪਿਆਰਾ ਨਾ ਹੁੰਦਾ,

ਇਹ ਹੰਜੂ ਖਾਰਾ ਨਾ ਹੁੰਦਾ ਼

Ih hanjū khārā nā hundā.

These tears wouldn't be salty.

ਤੂੰ ਵਾਅਦੇ ਕਰ ਕੇ ਮੇਰੇ ਨਾਲ,

Tū vāade kar ke mere nāl,

You made promises to me,

ਹਾਏ ਇੰਝ ਕਿਨਾਰਾ ਨਾ ਹੁੰਦਾ ਼

Hāe injh kinārā nā hundā.

Alas, you wouldn't have distanced yourself like this.

ਜੇ ਤੂੰ ਸਾਨੂੰ ਪਿਆਰਾ ਨਾ ਹੁੰਦਾ,

Je tu sānu piārā nā hundā,

ਇਹ ਹੰਜੂ ਖਾਰਾ ਨਾ ਹੁੰਦਾ ਼

Ih hanjū khārā nā hundā.

[Chorus]

ਤੂੰ ਦੁਰ ਵੀ ਹੋਵੇ ਨਾਲ਼ੇ ਹਰਖ ਦਿਖਾਵੇ ਼

Tū dur vī hove nāle harakh dikhāve.

You are far away and also show anger.

ਮੇਰੀ ਹਰ ਇੱਕ ਰੀਝ ਤੂੰ ਤੋੜੀ ਜਾਵੇ ਼

Merī har ik rījh tū torī jāve.

You keep breaking my every wish.

ਮੈਨੂੰ ਸਮਝ ਨਾ ਲੱਗੇ ਵੇ ਤੂੰ ਕੀ ਚਾਹਵੇ ਼

Mainū samajh nā lagge ve tū kī cāhave.

I don't understand what you want.

ਸੁੰਨਿਆ ਰਾਹਾਂ ਦਾ ਸੱਜਣਾ ਕੋਈ ਗਵਾਰਾ ਨਹੀਂ ਹੁੰਦਾ ਼

Sunniā rāhāṁ dā sajjanā koī gavārā nahīṁ hundā.

My beloved, deserted paths are not acceptable.

ਜੇ ਤੂੰ ਸਾਨੂੰ ਪਿਆਰਾ ਨਾ ਹੁੰਦਾ ਇਹ ਹੰਜੂ ਖਾਰਾ ਨਾ ਹੁੰਦਾ ਼

Je tu sānu piārā nā hundā ih hanjū khārā nā hundā.

If I hadn't loved you, these tears wouldn't be salty.

[Verse 2]

ਕਿਸਮਤ ਤੇ ਨਾ ਚਲਦਾ ਜੋਰ,

Kismat te nā caldā jor,

Fate cannot be controlled,

ਬਸ ਪਿੜਾਂ ਜ਼ਰਦੇ ਰਹਿਨੇ ਆ ਼

Bas pirāṁ zarde rahine ā.

We just keep enduring the pain.

ਇਹਨਾਂ ਕਾਲੀਆਂ ਰਾਤਾਂ ਵਿੱਚ,

Inhāṁ kālīāṁ rātāṁ vicc,

In these dark nights,

ਤਾਰੇ ਗਿਣਦੇ ਰਹਿਨੇ ਆ ਼

Tāre ginde rahine ā.

We keep counting stars.

ਇਝ ਟੁੱਟਦੇ ਨਾ ਹਨੀ,

Ijh tuttde nā hanī,

We wouldn't break like this, honey,

ਜੇ ਤੂੰ ਝੂਠਾ ਲਾਰਾ ਨਾ ਹੁੰਦਾ ਼

Je tu jhūṭhā lārā nā hundā.

If you hadn't made a false promise.

ਜੇ ਤੂੰ ਸਾਨੂੰ ਪਿਆਰਾ ਨਾ ਹੁੰਦਾ,

Je tu sānu piārā nā hundā,

If I hadn't loved you,

ਇਹ ਹੰਜੂ ਖਾਰਾ ਨਾ ਹੁੰਦਾ ਼

Ih hanjū khārā nā hundā.
