Vada (Promise)

Lyrics: Farooq. Music: Jaidev.
Sung in a 6 beat rhythm.

Vada - e - shaame farda pe tere mujhe etbar ab na aye to mai kya karoon
Shaam e gham, shidate gham ke ehsaas se nabse dil toot jae to mai kya karoon

Sare jhagare agar mere jina ke hai. To gala ghont dai mai bhi bezar hoon.
Maut abhi tak to daman bachati rahi. Too bhi daman bachaye to mai kya karoon.

Minatai jamau sagar nahi na siha. Mayri mainoshiyan mari baad mastiyan.
Mujhpai thaumat na raakh mai sharabi nahi. Vo Nazaar sai pilaye to mai kya karoon

Mainai mangi thi masjidon mai dua. Mai jise chahta hoon vo mujhko milai.
Mera jo farz tha maine pura kiya. Ab khuda bhul jaye to mai kya karoon.

Don't blame me if I don't trust you and your promises.
My heart is breaking as I face another lonely evening.

If there is no solution to my problems then the best I can hope for is to die.
But I am sure death will ignore me just like you do.

Just because I had a glass of wine does not mean that I'm drunk.
My intoxication comes not from wine, but from looking into your eyes.

I went to many holy places and prayed to God to grant me my love.
But just like my lover, God does not keep his promises either!!
