Bematlab - Asim Azhar ft. Talha Anjum (Lyrics: Hassan Ali, Talha Anjum, Asim Azhar | Producers: Hassan Ali, Asim Azhar)

The song is about the emptiness and heartbreak that follows losing someone you love - a plea for peace, closure, and a way to live without them. Here are the lyrics with an English translation:

Bematlab huyi humari zindagi, My life has lost its meaning. Bematlab huyi hai saari bandagi, All my devotion and effort feel like they were for nothing. Kiven samjhawan tenu, ishq da rog ae mainu, How do I make you understand - I'm sick with love for you. Zehmat hi sahi kya aisi berukhi, Even if it's a burden, why this coldness from you?

Mujhko aisi na saza de, apne bin jeena sikha de, Don't punish me like this - teach me how to live without you. Yaden saari pal main jala de, Let me burn away every memory in an instant. Khoya hoon main ghar ka pata de, I'm lost - give me directions back home.

Hijar ke ye pal guzarne ko razi nahi, These moments of separation refuse to pass. Dil main bedili hai, bechaini chhayi rahi, My heart is weary, restlessness lingers. Khushbuwein hain teri, nazar kyun tu aati nahi, Your fragrance is here, so why don't you come into view? Dil ke bagh main ab koyile bhi gaati nahi, Not even the nightingales sing in my heart's garden anymore.

Tere peeche main deewana ik zamane se, I've been madly in love with you for ages. Ik zamana mujh pe guzra tere jaane se, An entire era has passed over me since you left. Rawaani nahi hai, saans main dooba hoon jaise paani main, There's no flow left - I feel like I'm drowning in my own breath. Mujhe shor nahi chahiye, gehraiyon main jaane de, I don't want noise, just let me sink into the depths. Ab mujh pe jo guzar rahi, tumhe toh koi khabar nahi, You have no idea what I'm going through right now. Tere tareeke hi karein benaqab tujhe, Your own ways are what expose the real you.

Dil-e-betaab karein bezaar mujhe, My restless heart makes me weary of everything. Dil ab banjar, koi zinda shajar nahi, My heart is now barren - not a living tree left in it. Chand yaar hi ab dikhein mere saath mujhe, Only a handful of friends remain by my side. Parhein zehn mera samajh ke kitaab mujhe, Read my mind like it's an open book.

Kehti ho mujhe bas jee, aur aap tum, You just tell me to live on, that's all. Pahadon ke beech chhupa ik talab tum, You're like a hidden pond tucked between mountains. Meri mehfilon ki ronaq aur adab tum, You're the charm and grace of my gatherings. Agar main mausiqi hoon toh phir rabab tum, If I am the music, you are the rabab (the instrument that gives it voice).

Bekarari hai, raat bhaari hai, There's restlessness, the night feels heavy. Chain na mile kahin pal bhar, Not a moment of peace anywhere. Rog ye tera hum pe taari hai, This love-sickness for you has taken hold of me. Chha rahi hai dil main halchal, A storm is stirring in my heart.

Vekhan main teriyan rawan, I keep watching the paths you walk. Uthde kyun digda jawan, Why do I rise only to fall again? Tere wal main turda jawan, I keep walking toward you.

The core theme throughout: unrequited love, the ache of separation, and someone begging for the strength to move on while still being pulled back toward the person who left them emotionally empty ("bematlab" = meaningless/pointless).
