Salem Sandhu – Bin Apke Lyrics ( English Translation )
[Verse 1]
I have no complaints against anyone —
nor has this heart ever truly connected with anyone.
Without you, everything feels utterly meaningless.
Life without you is nothing but sorrow.
[Verse 2]
How beautiful the moonlight was when I was beside you.
But without you, the nights have lost all their magic.
Without you, it feels like life has no purpose.
With you, the poem is complete —
without you, I am incomplete.
My story remains unfinished.
Without you, what is even left to write?
If this pen could express nothing at all —
the pen speaks a few words…
[Chorus]
Let her read it — let my poetry benefit her.
Worst state of my life — I’m writing it in a diary.
Let her take whatever she wants; it’s just her amusement.
She has started meeting me again after so long.
But it’s been a while since we actually met.
My complaint is that she doesn’t even complain about me anymore.
You met me from afar — you’re so unfaithful.
It was such a special day, yet you didn’t even hold me.
[Bridge]
No one listens when I cry.
I overdose and sleep for two days at a time.
Everyone stands by me in my happiness —
but in sorrow, I am often alone.
I haven’t been singing for a long time.
I am no longer a part of your life.
Every answer of mine remains “no.”
But your dreams — they remained only dreams.
[Verse 3]
Life goes on and on and on.
Even away from you, I can’t be happy.
Sometimes you’re with me — sometimes I have nothing.
I can’t even bring myself to end my own life anymore.
But your new boyfriend still hurts me.
Maybe he drives around in a bigger car than I ever could.
Whatever I write somehow reaches you —
because I’ve seen him at my shows; he listens to me.
[Chorus – The Core Truth]
You are more precious than my honor.
You are that hidden feeling in my eyes.
You are my life, my simplicity, my honor.
You are my happiness, my joy, my life.
You are the words to my pen.
Without you, I am not complete.
The garden of my life was never whole.
Without you, what is even left to write?
If this pen could express nothing —
the pen speaks a few words…
[Outro]
Without you, the poem is incomplete.
📖 Lyrics Meaning
This song is a deeply personal, sorrowful confession of love, loss, and creative paralysis — written from the perspective of someone whose entire world revolved around a person who has now drifted away.
Key themes:
-
No complaints – The speaker starts by saying they have no complaints against anyone. This is not acceptance — it’s exhaustion. They are too tired to even blame others.
-
Incompleteness – The central metaphor is that the beloved completes the speaker, like the final line of a poem. Without them, the speaker is “incomplete” — as is the “garden” of their life, which was never fully in bloom.
-
Diary and poetry – The speaker writes their pain down. They hope the beloved will read it and benefit from it — or at least acknowledge it. Writing is both therapy and a plea for connection.
-
The return – The beloved has started meeting the speaker again, but only superficially. There’s no real intimacy — not even a hug on a special day. The speaker feels used or toyed with.
-
No one listens – The speaker’s pain is private. People celebrate with them in joy but abandon them in sorrow. The only escape is numbing themselves (“overdose and sleep”).
-
The new boyfriend – A sharp, bitter detail: the beloved has moved on to someone with “a bigger car.” The speaker feels replaced not just emotionally but materially — a reminder of their own perceived inadequacy.
-
The pen – The pen is the speaker’s only tool, but without the beloved, it “cannot express.” The beloved is the source of inspiration — without them, words fail.
-
Life goes on, but not for me – The speaker acknowledges that life continues, but they remain stuck. Even thoughts of suicide are impossible — they are too detached to act.
-
The hidden feeling – The beloved is “that hidden feeling in my eyes” — something unspoken but always present. They are more than a person; they are the meaning of the speaker’s existence.
