Kana Yaari Lyrics English Translation

First friendship and then betrayal, it’s not love, merely a portrayal.

Love is for the stoics who don’t fear loss;
Love is for the saints and those whose paths they cross.

Love is for the preacher and guide,
Love is for the one on Thee’s side.

Love is of guides, of friends of God.
Love needs patience to comprehend, but who now has an ear to lend?

Go read the tale of Hammal-o-Mahganj.
Love is that delight which brings back the lost sight.

The love you profess is not quite.
First friendship and then betrayal, it’s not love, merely a portrayal.

They befriend you and then betray you; there is no sign of love there.
What friendship is it that resists to indulge the friend’s wishes?

With time, friendship can often end.
But on me as your friend, you could always depend; this taunt, I will to you extend.

Though I still love you and always intend.
I should be the one to vent.

But it’s too late now to prevent.
I keep forgetting what I once wrote.

Alas, gone are the days when letters were sent.
Friends urge me to suffer your betrayal in silence.

But the heart coaxes me to battle and win back the friend that was once.
My opponents are now your friends.

Your actions opened my eyes to your pretense.
Friend became foe while foe became friend.

Brought upon myself happiness, and pain in the end.
So arrogant you’ve become.

You don’t even glance at me once.
You chose me on your own.

And now you bemoan.
I’m poor, yes, but my heart is pure.

You are rich; my loss isn’t on you to endure.
May God always grant you happiness.

While I keep living in squalor.
You are Khaleej, you are blessed.

I am Lyari, I am distressed.
You can go sleep in peace.

While my insanity doesn’t seem to cease.
This world says such madness is love.

Yet this world hasn’t even felt thereof.
Though this world is an illusion, O I wish it could love without delusion.

Hold close those who are dear.
For foe’s yours only when times are fair.

You still don’t know who you are.
And you will taunt me later.

A hundred times I repent; the love we knew has come to an end.
The love we knew isn’t here.

A hundred times I repent; the love we knew has come to an end.
First friendship and then betrayal, it’s not love, merely a portrayal.

Friend became foe while foe became friend.
It’s not love, merely a portrayal.

Brought upon myself happiness, and pain in the end.
It’s not love, merely a portrayal.

Merely a portrayal
