Afterimage Lyrics English Translation – Gur Sidhu

Ik Din Oh Ton Hath Ki Chhutteya Oh Din Vaapas Aaya Na
The day our hands parted, that day never came back.

Ik Oh Surma Do Nazran Nu Kade Vi Nazri Aaya Na
Like kohl in those two eyes, they never appeared before my eyes again.

Ik Dil Vich Oh Jeonda Hi Rehna Jeonda Rehna Mar Ke Vi
They will keep living in my heart, remaining alive even after death.

Ik Sajjan Saanu Disda Rehnda Akkhan Nu Band Karke Vi
I keep seeing my beloved even when I close my eyes.

Jehde Raah Te Ik Hoye Si Vakh Hoye Oh Raah Te Jadon
When we parted ways on the very road where we had once become one,

Ohdi Sajji Akh Da Hanju Diggeya Khabbi Baanh Te Jadon
A tear from their right eye fell onto my left arm.

Jis Din Da Oh Suraj Dubbeya Saanu Leke Dubb Gaya
The day that sun set, it took me down with it.

Ik Panchhi Ohdi Yaad Da Saadi Kismat Leke Udd Gaya
A bird carrying memories of them flew away with our destiny.

Par Ohde Tak Pahunch Nahi Sakde Tur Ke Vi Te Tar Ke Vi
Yet I cannot reach them, whether I walk or swim.

Ik Sajjan Saanu Disda Rehnda Akkhan Nu Band Karke Vi
I keep seeing my beloved even when I close my eyes.

Ik Taan Ohde Baare Saanu Puchhno Hatda Jagg Nahi
For one thing, the world never stops asking me about them.

Kyunki Ohda Hath Pharha Ke Mukkar Gaya Ae Rabb Vi Kyun
Why did even God deny it after placing their hand in mine?

Kinni Khushnaseeb Oh Dharti Jithe Ohda Pair Peya
How fortunate is the earth upon which they have stepped.

Suneya Othe Vassda Nahi Koi Chhad Oh Jehda Shehar Gaya
I heard that no one lives in that city anymore, the one they left behind.

Shaam Di Laali Varga Chete Aa Janda Ae Tarhke Vi
Like the redness of the evening sky, they come to my mind even at dawn.

Ik Sajjan Saanu Disda Rehnda Akkhan Nu Band Karke Vi
I keep seeing my beloved even when I close my eyes.
