Rabbi Shergill – Tere Bin (English Translation) Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Other than you, my love —
I cannot find anyone else
who will bring peace to my soul
and hold me with tenderness.

Other than you, my love —
I cannot find anyone else
who will calm my restless heart
and care for me so gently.

[Verse 2]
I have wandered far and wide —
America, Russia, Malaysia —
and found no difference anywhere.
Everyone I met had a condition.

Some asked for my time,
some fell for my face,
some demanded my loyalty —
but no one ever asked for my pain.

[Chorus]
Other than you — no one else
will ever ask for my sorrows.
Other than you — no one else
will shelter me from the sun.

[Verse 3]
Other than you, my love —
I cannot find anyone else
who will give peace to my soul
and cherish me completely.

[Verse 4]
The way you paused for a moment —
I will never forget it.
The way you said, looking away from my eyes:
“You will cry remembering me.”

I let out a strange laugh —
but you didn’t laugh at all.
The secret hidden in your heart —
why didn’t you tell me?

[Chorus]
Other than you — this secret
no one else can reveal to me.
Other than you — the cure for my pain
cannot be found with any doctor.

[Verse 5]
Other than you, my love —
I cannot find anyone else
who will bring peace to my soul
and hold me with such care.

[Bridge]
Today I found a note of yours —
on it was written, by your hand,
a couplet from Waris Shah.
As I read it, a tear fell from my eye.

What had been locked inside my gaze —
that secret revealed itself today.

[Chorus – Final]
Other than you — these tears of mine
no one else will ever kiss away.
Without you — these tears of mine
will wither and fade into dust.

Other than you, my love —
I cannot find anyone else
who will bring peace to my soul
and hold me tenderly.

📖 Lyrics Meaning

This song is a deeply moving confession of a love so unique and unconditional that it cannot be found anywhere else in the world. The speaker has traveled across countries, met many people, but everyone they encountered offered love with conditions — only the beloved accepts them completely, including their pain.

Key themes:

1. Unconditional love – The beloved is the only one who asks for the speaker’s “pains,” not just their time, beauty, or loyalty. This is the heart of the song: true love accepts the whole person, including their suffering.

2. Global search, one discovery – The speaker has seen the world (America, Russia, Malaysia) but found no difference. Everywhere, love came with demands. Only the beloved offers peace without conditions.

3. The painful prophecy – The beloved once said, “You will cry remembering me,” looking away. The speaker laughed, but the beloved didn’t. This moment reveals the beloved’s awareness of the future sorrow.

4. The Waris Shah couplet – A reference to the legendary Punjabi poet Waris Shah, known for his epic Heer Ranjha — a tragic love story. Finding a note with his verse suggests the beloved shares the speaker’s poetic, melancholic soul.

5. Tears and secrets – The teardrop that falls reveals a secret long hidden. The speaker’s tears are precious — only the beloved can kiss them away. Without the beloved, those tears will be wasted in the dust.

6. No doctor can cure – The speaker’s pain cannot be healed by any medicine. Only the beloved holds the cure.
