I Hate Luv Storys (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

Bin Tere(reprise) from “I hate luv storys” is one of the few songs that I desperately wanted to translate. The lyrics of this song is just so emotional that I can almost feel it like my own words.

The song written by Vishal Dadlani, talks about someone who has realized that they have lost the one chance they had with the one they loved. The song is about the moments that they had spent together and about what it meant.

One of my favorite lines in the song talks about the distances between the lovers – “Kuchh bacha hi nahin darmiyaan… Saans leti hain ab yeh dooriyan”. I always find it amazing how poets add life to inanimate objects but this it even more beautiful as the growing distance between the lovers is spoken about as a creature.

Here is the translation of my favorite song from last year:

Lyrics: Vishal Dadlani
Album: I Hate Luv Storys
Music: Vishal-Shekhar
Vocals: Shekhar Ravjiani

Teri nigaahon ke
Teri hi raahon ke
Kareeb se gayi zindagi

Your eyes,
Your paths,
Close to them passed my life

Tujhe kyun dekha na
Tujhe kyun jaana na
Shikayatein karun ya nahin

Why didn’t I see you?
Why didn’t I know you?
Do I complain or not?

Thami hain yeh saansein
Bhari hain yeh aankhein
Sahun kaise ab yeh faasla

My breath has numbed
My eyes are flooded
How do I bear this distance?

Bin tere bin tere bin tere
Koi khalish hai hawaaon mein bin tere

Without you, without you, without you
There is an uneasiness in the air, without you

Kuchh bacha hi nahin darmiyaan
Saans leti hain ab yeh dooriyan
Dil nahin jaanta raahon mein
Haath se haath chhoote the kahan

Nothing remains between us
Distances between us is now breathing
My heart does not know where along the way
Our hands used to touch

Kyun nazar ke kinaare
Toote hain khwaab saare
Tu bataa

Why in the horizon of the eyes
Do I see all my dreams breaking
You tell me

Soona soona samaa hai
Khaali khaali jahan hai,
Ab mera

The atmosphere is lonely
The world is empty
For me

Bin tere bin tere bin tere
Koi khalish hai hawaaon mein bin tere

Without you, without you, without you
There is an uneasiness in the air, without you
