KK Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Tu to na ayi teri yaad ayi
Tu to na ayi teri yaad ayi

Yoon tarsayi yoon tadpayi
Shaam-e-judai
Tu to na ayi teri yaad ayi
Tu to na ayi teri yaad ayi
Tasveerein teri deewaron pe
Dekhte hai hum hasraton se
Tu to na ayi teri yaad ayi
Tu to na ayi teri yaad ayi

Yoon tarsayi yoon tadpayi
Shaam-e-judai
Tu to na ayi teri yaad ayi
Tu to na ayi teri yaad ayi

Paigaam to kuch bhejti
Hai kuch wajah ya
Yoon hi bewajah
Tu jo na ayi

Dene legi dil ko dilasa
Har pal tere aane ki asha
Tu to na ayi teri yaad ayi
Tu to na ayi teri yaad ayi

Yoon sharmayi yeh tanhai
Aankhein bhar ayi




Tu to na ayi teri yaad ayi
Tu to na ayi teri yaad ayi
