Benaam sa yeh dard: Lyrics and Translation

A translation after a long time! Here is a song from Jagjit Singh.

Benaam sa yeh dard

thahar kyon nahi jaata

jo beet gaya hai vo

guzar kyon nahi jaata

benaam sa yeh …

This nameless pain,

Why doesn’t it stop?

What has finished,

Why doesn’t it pass?

**Sab kuch to hai kya dhoondti

rahti hain nigaahein

Kya baat hai main

waqt pe ghar kyoon nahi jaata

jo beet gaya hai vo

guzar kyoon nahi jaata**

Everything is here,

What are my eyes searching for?

What does it matter that I don’t

Come home on time?

What has finished,

Why doesn’t it pass?

**Vo ek hi chahra to

nahi saare jahan main

Jo door hai vo dil se

utar kyon nahi jata

Jo beet gaya hai vo

guzar kyoon nahi jata

benaam sa yeh….**

She wasn’t just a face in

All this world

Why doesn’t the one far from my heart

Get out of my heart?

What has finished,

Why doesn’t it pass?
