Hats off to the one who can be bring out feelings this way.
I heard this song sometime back and one of my punjabi friend translated first few lines for me. After which i was desperately looking for lyrics translation.
Thanks for this.
Awesome.... I cannot express how touchy this song is... and relates to many touchy and painful memories.
Terrific... lovely..great.
Awesome, absolutely amazing ..touches one's soul
hey.. glad to see the lyics of this song. You must know that Rabbi wrote this for his father. Makes u want o read it once again .. doesn't it.. with a whole new meaning :)
If what "writer" said is true then I guess the depth of the song just increased 10 fold...a very good song in all aspects
heart wrenching song.brings tears to my eyes everytime i hear it.
damn...i hate this song...makes me cry so often...
Damn...why did I ever try to find meaning of this song...

I had heard this song so many times earlier. But first time when I read its meaning I cried alone in my room.
This is so beautiful song.
MIND BLOWING!!!!
Hats off to the composer(both lyrics and music) and Rabbi who has rendered it with a DIVINE touch. It's ABSOLUTELY TOUCHING
to the core and comes like crystal clear water unlike the murkey waters from which todays songs emerge barring a few. TRUELY SOOTHING. Do keep up the noble work.
absolutely beautiful lyrics...
i'm too speechless and goin crazy that why i don't have some better words to express :P

patra.net

I have borrowed them and put on my blog.... with minor changes....
http://sunshinezthoughts.blogspot.com/
I dont understand punjabi but always felt that there has to be a deep meaning to this beautiful song. I am so deeply touched. Like other readers i am speechless as well. It just touched me where it hits the most.
Awesome!!!
Whatever I say is not going to do justice to this song. Simply awesome!!!
Just wonderful!!!Heard on Radio in NJ today morning then while listeing it on Raaga,I had to find out the whole meaning and also I wished to sing a few lines.I got it here.Thanks a bunch.
SPEECHLESS....!!!!
I had heard this song a couple of times on the FM...although i dont understand core punjabi...but always used to feel good while i listened to this song...because i am a music lover....
But today...when the love of my life dedicated this song to me...I came searching for its meaning....and believe me folks...I had moist eyes after knowing the true meaning of this beautiful song...
Hats Off to the composer/singer and also to the person who translated its meaning wonderfully to english language....
Read the comments posted by other people also....
I feel i am short of words to express my feelings...but i can realize that all love birds must have felt the same way as i am feeling while listening to this song....
Indeed it has brought tears to my eyes....and rendered me SPEECHLESS.....
GOD BLESS LOVERS.....
Take care!!!!
Hey Man....this is just superb...mind blowing....really....i just thank the person who has done this from the my heart....DJ
LOVE........
IT'S THE ONLY EMOTION THAT FILLS ME WHEN I HEAR THIS COMPOSITION.
ABSOLUTELY OUT-OF-THE-WORLD LYRICS AND SUPERBLY COMPOSED.
THIS MAN, RABBI, HAD ME EVER SINCE HIS FIRST SONG...BULLA KI JAANA.. AND TERE BIN HAS ME ASKING FOR MORE.
best song written eva..........sounds all d more beautiful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What a beauty!!! It just makes you cry everytime you listen to this song---one of the finest ever--Rabbi is AMAZING!!!
very nice lyrics and music
I guess it takes a longing of many years to understand the essence of this song. I don't believe in an everlasting love but this song makes me wonder how can I relate to it so much. Why do the images in mind stop at the same face even though many new faces have come by and gone! Why does it take so much out of us to understand memories can be brought back to life. Break the shackles of self-doubt wrapped in the stinky coat of societal norms; follow your heart, believe that you have one, go for it...express yourself.
It simply reminds you wonderful memories and person who loved u most.I think it will appeal to only pple who think by heart and get moved by emotions.!It very much appealed to me.!No matter how movie does this song will never die in its lovers.
Beautiful.
Good one...:)
Hi Sameer, thanks so much for posting the lyrics and translation...a simple, poignant and beautifully rendered song :)
Oops...should that have been for KD? Thanks for sharing this with all :)
well, ever since i first heard this song, it touched my heart. Even without knowing what the words actually meant, I almost instinctively knew that that this was a truly profound expression of something that can only be defined as true love...
I just realized, I've bcome a fan of Rabbi Shergill..
thnks fr posting the lyrix
The most amazing lyrics i have ever seen for a romantic song. And this song is so well sung that i dont think anyone can do a better job than Rabbi. What fascinates me the most about these lyrics is that normal people do have such thoughts. But the words rabbi used were simply awesome. It cannot be said more eloquently.
thanks for posting the lyrics
hey... whoever you are... i must say what a fabulus job man... totally appreaciate your work on the lyrics.... i am not only crazy but you can call me mad about rabbi... he has the strength yo convert true feelings into a great song and a superb lyrics... keep up the good work. cheers mate.
Thanks for so many comments guys! We knew when we started out that we can't be the only ones who are in absolute awe of this music.
I m Glad to see so so many comments and overwhelming response. Your commets keep us motivated to do more work on this blog.
Cheers

Hi,
First of all great work. I liked this song because of the music and rythm, but I did not understand the lyrics since I don't know Punjabi.
But hats off to you. After understanding the lyrics, I like this song even more.
Again, Thank you very much and excellent job done.
Sharad
A very very beautiful song...Kudos to the poet. So much of sensitivity. Lovely.
The song-writer must really know what true love is...how lucky is the person who has someone like this caring for him! Thanks so much for enlightening us with the meanings of the words. It's such a treasure of a song.
I love singing this song!!
whoev wrote it
awesome
thks
This song is Straight from the heart ...
Out of the World...Incredible piece of work....I heard the song first tinme in a cafe....I asked the person there who the singer is....The name was new..Not before long this tubanator hit the chartbusters...Though the lyrics was above the sea level as I do not understand Punjabi...This was the magic of its composition that i could not resist myself from seeing the meaning ..and am rewarded.....Amazing trnaslation.....Hats Off Due!

Loved *Tere Bin* to the core right from the day I heard this 2 years back. Evokes feelings so tender that one can do nothing but feel (as you all swore going speechless) . Lost my mother this February, listening to this song amplifies the feeling of my loss a million times over. Perhaps it helps me grieve and come to terms with reality. This song is the refuge.
I bet even Rabbi did'nt know what masterpiece he was setting out to make as he penned this. Magic happens only as many times. This one's for Keeps.
Wishing happiness to all!
This is a very touching song. Thank u for the lyrics and also for translating it in english. A hats off to Rabbi shergill for this beautiful number.
This song makes my heart break.....i was STUPID enough to break the heart of the only person that trully loved me, he will never forgive me .. this song has marked th saddest time of my life..its exactly how i feel. his voice is beautifull..THANK U for posting the lyrics.
An excellent translation of a wonderful song
The song has cast a spell on me. Reading lyrics brought back some past memories and a pangs of sadness and nostalgia.
WHAT CAN I SAY ABOUT THIS SONG......WORDS ARENT ENOUGH MAN.....SIMPLY WOW....GO RABBI MORE SONGS LIKE THIS GOD BLESS....
gosh.amazing..heard it so many times in one morning..i agree with all of you...I first jus heard it on the radio n started humming the tune..i walked into my office n tuned into this song online as i knew jus 2 lines, to take a break from my work..n when i started reading the meaning of the song , heard it again n a few tears jus droped out right then n i realised it had a been a long time since a song had touched my heart this way....it jus applies to everyone..whether for ur love..or even mom, dad whoever u deeply loved n treasure...for me it was a friend who i had the chance to connect to deeply, but who remained a friend only for reasons untold....even to him...
I wish Rabbi Shergill one day visit our blog and see everything what our visitors has commented on the blog.
Thanks KD!!! ur beautiful translation to english helped me understand this song so much better!!! Beautiful song...and lyrics....!
I shud b poet to comment ne thing for this song....simply gr8!

A nepalese girl

O my god,
This song is simply speechless and fabulous.
I read a comment from 'writer' and it said that the song was originally written by Rabbi for his father...which is soooo soulful and deep that it made me cry coz I love my dad and reminded me of his love for me....
I was actually reading this at my uni and my eyes were moistened...Everyone were staring at me....lolzz
Everytime I hear this and Bulla ki jaana mein kaun, I cry....
Love them both
and yes thx a heaps for posting the lyrics in English, I dont understand Punjabi or hindi....

Hello Folks! This is Rabbi here. It may interest you to note that the new album is coming out this April. It was produced in Italy by Mauro Pagani. In case you don't believe its really me, I'll write you one of the verses from one of the first songs to be out - Bilqis: "Mera naam Bilqis Yakoob Rasool/ Mujhse hui bas ek hi bhool/ ki jab dhoondte the vo Ram ko/ To main kharhi thi raah mein/ Pehle ek ne poochha na mujhe kuch pata tha/ Duje ko bhi mera yehi javab tha/ Itno ne poochha ki mera ab saval hai/ (Ki)jinhe naaz hai hind par vo kahan the/ Jinhe naaz hai vo kahaan hai"...Keep the faith.
hi rabbi!!!1i wonder if this wolud reach u....all i wanna tell u is that ur music is soothes the soul like a balm.... from bulla to tere bin to heer to ishtihar to aaj aasan ve nachna, sun totya,ek geet hijar da,jugni....i just ve one or the song flowin in2 my ears.... i luv d music u create.... thnax 4 givin d music lovrs a reservoir of amazin music...May this never exhaust....
waitin 4 ur new album....n hope this time its gets even better n huger!!!!
Its more or less official. Rabbi will release his album on Nseries phones in end March. Thats the only way to get hold of his album till it releases officially in mid April. Nice one !! And the lyrics ARE from RABBI himself ...

Wah Rabbi ji Wah.. Tusi Great o..jeounday Ravo
I am from Brazil and I am in love with India and Rabbi Shergill.
Thanks you so much yaar for posting the lyrics in English!

i liked ths song frm da moment i heard it i just cudnt remember the lyrics punjabi is not my first language bt its songs like ths that make u fall in love with their language
Realllllllly coooooolllll thanks buddy
The Album song 'Tere Bin...' & 'Bulla Ki Jaana..' from Rabbi are simply superb.
Amit
I had heard this song before and made a very deep impression in my heart and mind..AS someone put it across earlier tha this song will touch someone who opeartes from the heart ......Now that I undestand what the exact meaning is..I am overwhelmed....It is beautifull..I think I am in love with the man who could pen down such lovely smotions with such ease.
Thankyou so much for posting the translation. This song has a new meaning to me now. Its been so long since I have heard such a great song.
KI thought the song to be written by the great philosopher 'Bulle Shah' or 'Varis Shah' but after knowing it is an original composition of Rabbi, I am zapped. Excellent composotion, moist eyes and a voice touching the soul....Rabbi you'll live forever with this song
the song is so beautiful....its almost painful to listen to it.
i had sent Her this song as something i wished to 'tell' her.(she's Punjabi n i am an Assamese) Now that i know the lyrics, i know i meant every word in the song
Thank you yaar...who ever translated the song...n i wanna meet Rabbi once n thank him myself.
hey !!
gr8 song......nd gr8 efforts frm ur side ppl .......keep up the good work !
juz a li'l correction if u don mind:
line no. 9 "NA" kite v koi fark c
line no. 29 dil vich "TERE" jo raaz c
sachi khnda hai
eh gana ruh nu sukun ditta
eko hanjhu sadi ankho che wi aa gaya
luvly song
Thx a lot.
God Bless u.
I hadn't completely understood what the song meant initially, but liked it a lot.
Now that I read and understood what each sentence meant, it makes me appreciate this much more.

beautiful song...
From the first time I heard this song - and I did not understand its meaning -- it sounded, raw, pure, ectasy. Music in its sublime form -- appealing to one's inner soul. Of course, meaning, semantics had no business and were not needed. Love the song.
Probably this is the first time that I have ever been moved enough to leave a comment on any virtual forum.
I have been listening to Rabbi regularly since I left my dear motherland and for me his voice has delivered the essential 'Indianess' every single time.
this is one of my MOST favourite songs!! but i didnt understand the lyrics 100%... there were 2-3 lines whose meaning i just understood and it has increased my respect for this song and Rabbi further more to no bounds!!
Amazing lyrics...heard this song today morning and was deeply touched by it. Thanks for sharing the meaning of such a beautiful song. Well my girlfriend is in the ICCU though she's recovering. Will carry a rose today and will sing the initial lines for her :)
An awesum luvly sng..whose lyrics touches my hEart...an ultimate sng to be dedicated by one to his Love.....
I dedicate it to the MISTress of my COMPLX heart...
MIST i'll Luv u alwayZ...
MehfuZ...
Beutyful lyrics, i was searching for it, ohh tha man who has written it is smart, but the way it was singed by Mussarat Abbas is also great, fantastic song indeed.
Awesome lyrics n quite meaninfull i must say :)...superb !
this song has "virah" thts the feeling f being seperated....its spirtual,magical
very beautiful
great
Thanks so much for the translation. An amazing melody.
Shantha
Thanx so much for the translation !
u rock man
Speechless! Goose Pimples! Everytime I even think of this song, I get these feelings. This despite the fact that I have no present sadness in my life. But this song just brings something out of you. You end up with your head in your hands, tears in your eyes and don't even know the reason why!
Its filled with such a profound sadness. A man who has lost something priceless and only now comes to realize the value of that which he has lost, and also the realization that he can never, ever get it back.
I have read about 80% of the comments above and agree with them totally.
But no one has suggested the one proper phrase that can describe this song:
"HEART - RENDING"
- Inder Nirbhay Singh Tiwana
Boyfriend said that Rabbi Shergill is very good and now I agree...Beautiful song
I heard this song the very day it released,after a long time I thought I should look for its meaning and today as I am aware of each word it has made me to believe that this is the best ever composition.So much was I impressed with its quality that I am going into the history of this song since past some days and looking for its orgin.It dates back to ages and is related to the famous Hir-Ranjha.I dedicate this song to the love of my life,Ifgod grants me just one wish in this life it is going to be her !!
Thanks for the lyrics and the meaning.
#
It dates back to ages and is related to the famous Hir-Ranjha.
Not really about Heer Ranjha. He talks about two lovers only. At once place he does talk about Waris Shah who wrote the great epic of Heer Ranjha
milia c aj mainu tera ik patra
likhia c jis te tu sher waare shah da
heart touchin to say the least
one of the best songs ever, enjoy the composition.
truly a nice song....punjabi culture sure rich but there are few who care to promote it...bravo Rabbi....keeping rocking all of us and keep promoting punjabi culture...
from heart of a Sindhi culturist.
this song is one in 2 crored.. i love this bcz it has pain..
great lyrics....great song...great music....n beautifully sung
Do listen to Rabbi's second album "Avengi ja nahin". Awesome tracks specially "challa" and "Bilqis".
The lyrics are simply amazin....
