vo wada hi kya jo nibhaya na jaye
vo wada hi kya jo nibhaya na jaye
yaha to judai me ja par bani hai
yaha to judai me ja par bani hai
na aaye to kah de ke aaya na jaye
vo wada hi kya jo nibhaya na jaye
ye iljam hum pe lagaya na jaye
ye iljam hum pe lagaya na jaye
padi apne pav me janjir aisi
padi apne pav me janjir aisi
ke aana bhi chahe to aaya na jaye
vo wada hi kya jo nibhaya na jaye

shikasta mohabbat ne vo chot khai
ke diwana dil de utha hai duhai
agar apne wade pe na tu aaj aai
lahu me dubo dunga sari khudai
lahu me dubo dunga sari khudai
nahi bewafa tu ye mai janta hu
nahi bewafa tu ye mai janta hu
magar ruthe dil ko manaya na jaye
vo wada hi kya jo nibhaya na jaye

kabhi to ye janjir tutegi janam
kabhi to wafa rang la ke rahegi
kisi din darde judai ki shiddat
tadpate dilo ko mila ke rahegi
tadpate dilo ko mila ke rahegi
abhi ishk par aajmais ke din hai
abhi ishk par aajmais ke din hai
ke dil imteha se chudaya na jaye
vo wada hi kya jo nibhaya na jaye
yaha to judai me ja par bani hai
na aaye to kah de ke aaya na jaye
ye iljam hum pe lagaya na jaye
padi apne pav me janjir aisi
ke aana bhi chahe to aaya na jaye
vo wada hi kya jo nibhaya na jaye

What promise holds if unkept in time?
What promise holds if unkept in time?
Here, in separation, life itself is bound.
Here, in separation, life itself is bound.
If you cannot come, then say you cannot climb.
What promise holds if unkept in time?

This blame, we pray, should not be laid on us,
This blame, we pray, should not be laid on us.
Such chains now bind our feet, a heavy thrall,
Such chains now bind our feet, a heavy thrall,
That even should we wish, we cannot thus
What promise holds if unkept in time?

Shattered love, a wound it did impart,
That the mad heart cries out with broken art.
If on your word you fail to show today,
In blood I'll drown this world and tear apart.
In blood I'll drown this world and tear apart.
You are not faithless, that much I can see.
You are not faithless, that much I can see.
Yet a heart so scorned, can’t be won back today.
What promise holds if unkept in time?

One day, dear heart, this chain will break and cease.
One day, true love's colors will unfurl.
One day, the pain of parting's fierce release
Will bring together longing hearts that swirl.
Will bring together longing hearts that swirl.
The days of testing love are ever near.
The days of testing love are ever near.
The heart from this great trial cannot be freed.
What promise holds if unkept in time?
Here, in separation, life itself is bound.
If you cannot come, then say you cannot climb.
This blame, we pray, should not be laid on us.
Such chains now bind our feet, a heavy thrall,
That even should we wish, we cannot thus.
What promise holds if unkept in time?
