Aashiq Purana

I am that same old lover of yours, [Ni: a gender-specific vocative used to address a woman directly]

The one who once brought [Surma: traditional kohl/eyeliner] for you

I know you must remember that moment

There was a time when you too called out to me with such love

I am that same old lover of yours, [Ni: a gender-specific vocative used to address a woman directly]

The one who once brought [Surma: traditional kohl/eyeliner] for you

I know you must remember that moment

There was a time when you too called out to me with such love

My academic backlogs increased because of you

My state of being turned to a wreck because of you

It's because of you that gatherings still come to life

Even the legends [Ranjha and Mahiwal: archetypal tragic heroes of Punjabi folklore] became who they were because of their beloveds

When the rowdy boys had been lingering for quite a while

There was a microphone set up inside the library

The incident is unforgettable, I'm sure you remember it

I once sang a whole song dedicated to your name there

I am that same old lover of yours, [Ni: a gender-specific vocative used to address a woman directly]

The one who once brought [Surma: traditional kohl/eyeliner] for you

I know you must remember that moment

There was a time when you too called out to me with such love

Once, you weren't able to fall asleep

I saw your "green light" [Active status] and sent you a message

Once, you weren't able to fall asleep

I saw you online and sent you a message

Who knows how many others stayed awake pining for you

But remember, it was I who kept you company and kept you awake

I print your address on papers every single day

I once enshrined you within my poetic writings

I am that same old lover of yours, [Ni: a gender-specific vocative used to address a woman directly]

The one who once brought [Surma: traditional kohl/eyeliner] for you

I know you must remember that moment

There was a time when you too called out to me with such love

I know, I know, I know, I am that same one, [Ni: a gender-specific vocative used to address a woman directly]

Your old lover, your old lover

I know you must remember that moment

You too once called out to me with such love, with such love

When our time wandering the college campus came to an end

You called me on the day of [Holi: the festival of colors]

When our time wandering the college campus came to an end

You called me on the day of [Holi: the festival of colors]

The very next morning, I arrived in your city

Even you had made up an excuse at home back then

O girl of that brief one-minute meeting

I once applied the color of my love to your cheek

I am that same old lover of yours, [Ni: a gender-specific vocative used to address a woman directly]

The one who once brought [Surma: traditional kohl/eyeliner] for you

I know you must remember that moment

There was a time when you too called out to me with such love

It's the truth, I have truly fallen in love

And you know it has happened to me many times

It's the truth, I have truly fallen in love

And you know it has happened to me many times

Let me tell you a secret, I have never truly forgotten you

Every time I fell in love, it was only with you

We will surely meet again at some turn of life

Then I'll tell you how much you once made me yearn

I am that same old lover of yours, [Ni: a gender-specific vocative used to address a woman directly]

The one who once brought [Surma: traditional kohl/eyeliner] for you

I know you must remember that moment

There was a time when you too called out to me with such love
