Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Meri zindagi da tere bin ariye
Main kuj kr jaunga ha ma mar jaunga
Par rena nAi tere bin ariye . . ′!
Tere nal rehan da vadA khud nal kita ma
Par kismat vich c khot aa c badnita ma
Tu nal nahi mere raat na langdi ae . .
Koi matlab nai koi maksad nai
Meri zindagi da tere bin ariye . .!
Mere val nu takna tera bhul sakya nai
Tere bajo jeon da kaaran bachya nai
Saaha da auna v hundla ruk gya ae
Mukde nal ma thakya hauke gin ariye . .
Koi matlab nai koi maksad nai
Meri zindagi da tere bin ariye
Yaad tenu nai krna koshish kiti ae
Koi saaab nai kalya beh kini piti ae
Bhulde na ac langno ona raha cho
Kise mod te tu v sanu mil ariye .
Koi matlab nai koi maksad nai
Meri zindagi da tere bin ariye . .!
Ik tarfe j ashiqaa vich hun naam mera
Rabb jane hun hona ki anjaam mera
Gita vich mere rena zikr tera
Ma ni kenda kenda mera dil ariye . .
Koi matlab nai koi maksad nai
Meri zindagi da tere bin ariye . .!
Main kuj kr jaunga ha ma mar jaunga
Par rena nAi tere bin ariye . . '!
The lyrics of Elly Mangat's song Matlab convey a sense of hopelessness and despair, as the singer feels that there is no meaning or purpose to his life without his beloved. He acknowledges that he may do great things or even die, but he cannot live without her. He had made a promise to himself to stay with her, but fate had other plans. He feels desperate and incomplete without her, and his nights and days are equally full of longing. He cannot forget her, no matter how hard he tries, and he feels that he cannot move forward in his life until he reunites with her. The lyrics also reveal the singer's love for his beloved, as he considers himself an "ashiq" or a lover, whose name may soon be forgotten, and whose fate remains uncertain, but whose heart beats for his beloved.
