jab tak raha sath jana na maine
papa ke bin zindagi hogi kaisi
socha tha masti bhara hoga
mera har pal
baate na sunni padegi kisi ki
hai ab ye aalam, unka kaha hum
imaa samajh ke nibhate hai
papa bahut yaad aate hai, aate hai
papa bahut yaad aate hai, aate hai
papa bahut yaad aate hai

ungli pakad jinki chalna main sikha
palta raha jinke saaye me pal pal
ab tak hai mujhme khushbu unhi ki
aankho se meri wo beshak hai ojhal
aisa lage hai, wo aawaz deke
baaho me apni bulate hai
papa bahut yaad aate hai, aate hai
papa bahut yaad aate hai, aate hai
papa bahut yaad aate hai

jis din nikala tha ye paanv ghar se
wo din kahan aaj tak bhulta hai
papa ki aankho me jo sunapan tha
wo hath ab tak mere khinchta hai
kyu dur hokar, rishto ko aksar
hum thik se jaan pate hai
papa bahut yaad aate hai, aate hai
papa bahut yaad aate hai, aate hai
papa bahut yaad aate hai

papa huye jabse, khud hum ye samjhe
aansa nahi hai ye rishta nibhana
khud ko bhulakar bhi padta hai jeena
papa kabhi tumne jaahir kiya na
dil aapka hum, dukhaye kabhi na
maalik se hum ye manate hai
papa bahut yaad aate hai, aate hai
papa bahut yaad aate hai, aate hai
papa bahut yaad aate hai, aate hai
papa bahut yaad aate hai

Until the day you walked beside me, I never knew,
How life would be without you, Papa.
I dreamed of endless laughter,
Each moment mine, unbound.
No one to heed, no one to heed.
Now, your words, our guiding stars,
We embrace them, understanding their heart.
Papa, I miss you so much, so much,
Papa, I miss you so much, so much,
Papa, I miss you so much.

The hand that taught me to walk,
The shade that sheltered every breath,
Your fragrance still lingers within me,
Though your form has vanished from my sight.
I feel you calling, your voice a whisper,
Drawing me into your embrace.
Papa, I miss you so much, so much,
Papa, I miss you so much, so much,
Papa, I miss you so much.

The day I stepped beyond the threshold,
That day, I cannot forget.
The emptiness I saw in your eyes,
Still pulls at my heartstrings.
Why must distance be the lens,
Through which we truly see the ties?
Papa, I miss you so much, so much,
Papa, I miss you so much, so much,
Papa, I miss you so much.

Since becoming a father myself, I understand,
How challenging this bond can be.
To live, one must often forget oneself,
Papa, your own sacrifices, you never revealed.
May we never cause you pain,
To the Creator, we pray,
Papa, I miss you so much, so much,
Papa, I miss you so much, so much,
Papa, I miss you so much, so much,
Papa, I miss you so much.
