Don't offer empty promises,
You were never really mine,
I was a bit naive and a little silly,
But sadly, my heart caught on to your insincere promises.
I'd still embrace your lies if I could, Accept your every mistake, that's understood,
Your betrayal, if I should,
Even your disloyalty, I'd put aside my pride.
But your absence, I can't survive.
.....
Joothe laare na laya kar,
Tu mera kadde hoya hi ni si,
Thori jhalli ta si,
Par afsoos, ae dil tere laareya nu samaj geya si.
Na laanda laare, fir vi main jaan qurban kar dendi,
Teri har ghalti mainu qabool hundi,
Teri bewafai qabool hundi,
Magar teri judai nahi qabool.
