tere bin, tere bin, tere bin
tere bin mera jivan ae sanam
tere bin mera jivan ae sanam
jaisi sukhi nadi
jaise bujhta deeya
jaise patajhad ki rut me jhanke jiya
jaise besur ki taal, bina holi gulaal
jaise bikhare armaan
kisi birahan ki taan tere bin
tere bin, tere bin, tere bin

be rang huye hai sab rang hansin
kho si gayi hai khushiyaa kahin
be rang huye hai sab rang hansin
kho si gayi hai khushiyaa kahin
jaise aankho se nind
jaise nindo se khwaab
jaise dil se gaye hai saare ehsaas
jaise thahare pal beete jaate hai jkal
jaise dhudhala hai sab tera mera alag hi hai rab
tere bin, tere bin, tere bin
tere bin mera jivan ae sanam
tere bin mera jivan ae sanam

shamil tu mujhame dhundhu kahaa
sochun main tujhko kabtak bataa
shamil tu mujhame dhundhu kahaa
sochun main tujhko kabtak bataa
jaise jogan koi dhundhe bhagwan koi
jaise tarte naiyan man chaaha darpan
jaise tumse judi dhadkan saanse meri
jaise rishta mera tumse janmo se juda
tere bin, tere bin, tere bin
tere bin mera jivan ae sanam
tere bin mera jivan ae sanam

Without you, without you, without you,
My life, O beloved, without you,
My life, O beloved, without you.
Like a river run dry,
Like a lamp extinguished,
Like a heart that peers in autumn's sigh.
Like a rhythm devoid of tune, without Holi's hue,
Like scattered desires,
A forlorn woman's lament, without you.
Without you, without you, without you.

Colorless have become all vibrant hues,
Lost somewhere are the joys I knew.
Colorless have become all vibrant hues,
Lost somewhere are the joys I knew.
Like sleep departs from the eyes,
Like dreams vanish from the nights,
Like all feelings have fled the heart's guise.
Like moments stand still as tomorrows spill,
Like everything's veiled, yours and mine, a separate Divine.
Without you, without you, without you,
My life, O beloved, without you,
My life, O beloved, without you.

You're woven in me, where do I seek?
How long can I ponder you, speak?
You're woven in me, where do I seek?
How long can I ponder you, speak?
Like a yogini searches for her God,
Like eyes gaze longingly at a desired mirror's nod.
Like my breath, my heartbeat, linked to you,
Like my bond with you, woven through lifetimes anew.
Without you, without you, without you,
My life, O beloved, without you,
My life, O beloved, without you.
