O saathee re

O saathee re
Tere binaa bhee kyaa jeena
Phoolȯ mė kaliyȯ mė
Sapnȯ kee galiyȯ mė
Tere binaa kuchh kahee naa

Har dhaṛkan me pyaas hai teree
Saȧsȯ mė teree khushbee hai
Is dhartee se us ambar tak
Meree nazar mė too hi too hai
Pyaar ye ṭuṭe na
Tu mujhse ruṭhe naa
Saath ye chhooṭe kabhee na
Tere binaa bhee kyaa jeena

Tujh bin jogaṇ meree raate
Tujh bin mere din banjaare
Meraa jeevan jaltee dhoonee
Bujhe bujhe mere sapne saare
Tere binaa meree
mere binaa teree
Ye zindagee zindagee na
Tere binaa bhee kyaa jeena

O companion, what is life without you? In the flowers, in the buds, in the streets of love, without you there is nothing anywhere.

In every heartbeat, there is a thirst for you. In every breath of mine, there is your fragrance. From this earth to the sky, in my eyes, there is only you all around. May this love not break, may you never be angry at me, may this companionship never stop.

Without you, my nights are those of an ascetic and my days are of a vagabond. My life is burning out in drops, all my dreams are being extinguished; without you in my life, without me in your life, it is not a life.

Muqaddar Ka Sikandar 1978; Kishore Kumar
