Tere Naam - Kaavish

Lyrics – Jaffer Zaidi

Composition – Kaavish

Singer – Jaffer Zaidi 

Prelude – The melody “Tere naam “ by Kaavish is like a bower on an April evening . The lyrics by Jaffer Zaidi describe the sublime feeling of being in love . The eternal and scintillating feeling which God has given to humans as a blessing makes the poet intoxicated and bewitched

Kya naseeb hai , tu qareeb hai

What a destiny have I got ? You are near by

Kaise dhadke yeh dil bin tere ?

How will this heart beat without you ?

Tere pyar ka jo khumaar hai

Rom-rom main hain jaise mere

There is intoxication of your love in every being of mine .

Saans hai teri , jee raha hun main

It is your breath , I am living

Hai jadu yeh yaar ka

This is the magic of having a companion

Pyaas hai teri , pee raha hoon main

It is your thirst , I am drinking

Nasha hai yeh pyar ka

This is the intoxication of love

Geet mere , meri shayari

Naam hogaye hain sab tere

My songs and my poetry are dedicated to you

Mit si gayi hain meri hasti

My existence is as if it has been erased

Tu heen tu har su mere

You are in every direction

Dekh tere pyar ne

Mujhko mujhi sai

Kaise begana kar dala

See ! Your love has made me a stranger to myself

Kuch khali kagaz ke

Tukron ka tune

Jaise afsana kar dala

I have written a short story in some empty pieces of paper about you .

Hai mussaviri tere haath ki

Meri zindagi , har pal mera

My life is my own every second in the strokes of colours in the painting made by you 

Jo tu nahi toh kuch bhi nahi

If you are not there , then there is nothing .

Berang hai jeevan mera

My life is colourless without you

Apne dil ka pehra diye

Baith gaya hoon main

I have sat down guarding my heart .

Tere siva koi dastak na de

Bas yahi chahun main

I wish nobody knocks the door of my heart other than you

Khoya rahoon main

Pyaar main tere

Koi sataye na

I wish nobody teases me when I am immersed in your love

Ajj mujhe paas tere

Rehne de , Tu kahin na jaa

Let me remain near you , you don’t go anywhere

Tere qadmon main dil rakh ke

Ho gaya hoon main tera Ranjha

I have kept my heart devoted in your footsteps and I have become your “ Ranjha “
