Samjhawan — English translation

Jawad Ahmad · punjabi → English

What "Samjhawan" means

A plea from someone who cannot live without their beloved and cannot find peace of heart when apart. The speaker asks how to make the other person understand, says they keep waiting, and calls them their heart and life. A later turn sounds hurt, accusing the beloved of wronging them and regretting where their eyes first met. The mood is yearning, pleading and bittersweet.

नहीं जीना तेरे बाजू
I cannot live without you,
नहीं जीना नहीं जीना
No, I cannot live, I cannot live at all.
नहीं जीना तेरे बाजू
I cannot live without you,
नहीं जीना नहीं जीना
No, I cannot live, I cannot live at all.
