Kami Lyrics English Translation – Samar Jafri

Paas Thay Kal Toh Tum Yun
Just yesterday, you were so close to me.

Aaj Na Ho Poochun Main Yeh Kyun
Today you are gone, and I keep asking why.

Kya Hui Thi Hum Se Woh Bhool
What mistake did I make?

Na Huwe Tum Se Hum Qubool
Why could you never truly accept me?

Haal-e-dil Kya Hum Kahen
How do I even express the state of my heart?

Jaan De Ya Hum Jiyein
Should I give up my life or keep living?

Khamoshi Mein Hum Sahein
We silently endure all this pain,

Kya Khushi?
What happiness is left now?

Kya Gham Rahein
Only sorrows remain,

Haan Woh Baatein Karna Chahun Hain Jo Ankahi
Yes, I wish to say all those words that remained unspoken.

Kya Kami Hum Mein Thi
What flaw was there within me?

Jo Dikhi Tum Ko Hi
That only you could see,

Yeh Khushi Le Gayi Jeete Jee Tum Meri
You took away my happiness while I was still alive.

Naam Tera Jo Likha Hai Har Kahani Mein
Your name is written in every story of my life,

Daagh Aisa Woh Para Hai Zindagani Mein
Such a deep scar has been left upon my existence.

Phir Bhe Tumko Hum Yun Dhoondein Bekhayali Mein
Yet I still search for you absentmindedly.

Haal Mera Yeh Kia Hai Dil Lagaani Mein
What has loving someone done to my condition?

Khuwaishein Kya Hum Karein
What desires should I even hold onto now?

Zindagi Se Hum Larein
We keep fighting against life itself.

Aankh Mein Aansu Liye
With tears filling our eyes.

Aajizi Se Gham Piyein
We humbly swallow our sorrow.

Mein Yeh Poochun, Khud Hi Sochhun, Kya Khata Hui
I keep asking myself and wondering what mistake I made.

Kya Kami Hum Mein Thi Jo Dikhi Tum Ko Hi
What flaw was there in me that only you noticed?

Yeh Khushi Le Gayi Jeete Jee Tum Meri
You stole away my happiness while I was still alive.
