The lyrics.
[INTRO]
us ki حَسْرَت hai jise dil se miTa bhi na sakun
DhunDne us ko chala hun jise pa bhi na sakun
[ENGLISH RAP 1 – LOW, INTROSPECTIVE]
I carry a name that I never speak loud,
Lost in the silence, still searching the crowd.
She lives in my chest like a scar with a flame,
I run from the pain but return to the same.
I know she’s a dream that I’ll never make mine,
Still I keep walking through shadows and signs.
Heart says forget her, but soul won’t comply,
Some wounds don’t bleed, they just learn how to hide.
[VERSE 1]
Daal ke KHaak mere خُون pe قاتِل ne kaha
kuchh ye mehndi nahi meri ki chhupa bhi na sakun
zabt kam-baKHt ne yaaں aa ke gala ghonTa hai
ki use haal sunaaun to suna bhi na sakun
[CHORUS]
us ki حَسْرَت hai jise dil se miTa bhi na sakun
DhunDne us ko chala hun jise pa bhi na sakun
[ENGLISH RAP 2 – SLIGHTLY DEEPER, MORE PAINED]
Tell me how to pray when the sky feels closed,
How to let go when the heart still knows.
I wrote her in tears on the walls of my fate,
Now even my destiny carries her name.
They call me faithless, but what do they see?
A broken man fighting what’s written for me.
If love is a prison, I’m chained to the art,
With keys in my hand but no strength in my heart.
[VERSE 2]
naqsh-e-paa dekh to lun, laakh karunga sajde
sar mera arsh nahi hai jo jhuka bhi na sakun
bewafa likhte hain wo apne qalam se mujh ko
ye wo qismat ka likha hai jo miTa bhi na sakun
[ENGLISH RAP 3 – FINAL BUILD, SPIRITUAL AND CINEMATIC]
I bowed to her footsteps like dust on the road,
Carrying heaven inside of my bones.
But I’m only human, I break when I bend,
I worship the wound that refuses to end.
If fate is asleep with its head on my knees,
Why can’t I wake it, why won’t it release?
So I sit with the night and I whisper her name,
Half of me ash, and the other half flame.
[FINAL CHORUS]
us ki حَسْرَت hai jise dil se miTa bhi na sakun
DhunDne us ko chala hun jise pa bhi na sakun
is tarah soye hain sar rakh ke mere زانو par
apni soi hui qismat ko jaga bhi na sakun
