Dard Shayari in English

It is in the smile I wear to hide it all.

Nobody asks me if I am doing fine today,

And I am walking on it with bare feet and a heavy heart,
Waiting for the sun to rise on a brand new morn.

Flying through life like a bird with broken wings,
Lost in a sky where only the voice of pain is heard.

That I couldn’t even see the betrayal coming my way,
Now I am left alone in this cold and empty space.

Every time I remember the promises you broke so easily,
Turning our beautiful love story into a painful crime.

Like a ghost following me through my lonely days.

While the rest of the world is sleeping in their bed.

I am fighting a war inside my head every single night,
Trying to be brave when the world feels so dark and cold.

Par dil ki dhadkan tera naam lekar jaga deti hai,
Phir wahi purana dard aur wahi gehri khamoshi hoti hai.

I keep checking my phone hoping for a text from you,
Even though I know you have already forgotten me,
And I am just a shadow that you no longer want to view.

Yeh raatein itni lambi kyun lagti hain ab mujhe,
Jab tu paas tha toh waqt ka pata hi nahi chalta tha,
Ab har ek pal ek saal ki tarah guzarta hai bina tujhe.

I stare at the ceiling and count the mistakes I made,
Hoping that the morning light will bring some relief,
But the shadow of your love is one that will never fade.

Par jab aankh khulti hai toh sirf tanhai milti hai,

It makes you remember everything you want to forget,
And makes you lose the strength to even put up a fight.

Tujhe yaad karna aur phir rona kismat ban gayi hai,
Is dard ke bina ab meri zindagi adhuri si lagti hai.

Memories are like thorns that prick the heart,
Reminding us of a life that has been torn apart.

Yaadein hi toh hain jo ab tak zinda rakhe hue hain,
Warna yeh dard toh kab ka humein maar chuka hota,
Tumhari baatein hi mere dil ka sukoon bani hui hain.

I keep your old letters even though they make me cry,
They are the only proof that you once loved me truly,
Before you decided to say that final and cold goodbye.

Kuch pal aise hote hain jo hamesha ke liye dhabbe ban jate hain,
Hum chahe kitni bhi koshish karein unhe mitane ki,
Par woh yaadein dard ban kar har baar laut aati hain.

Every corner of this city has a story of you and me,
I try to avoid the places where we used to be happy,
Because seeing them feels like drowning in a restless sea.

Tumhari yaad aati hai toh aankhen bhar aati hain,
Woh hasi, woh baatein, woh sab kuch jo humara tha,
Ab bas ek dard bhari kahani ban kar reh gaya hai.

I am trapped in a past that doesn’t exist anymore,
Chasing the ghosts of the moments we spent together,
While I am standing alone on a very different shore.

Yaadon ka silsila bhi bada ajeeb hota hai dosto,
Jab khush hote hain toh rulati hain yeh humein,
Aur jab dukhi hote hain toh thoda sa hasati hain humein.

I wish I could delete the day I first met you,
Not because I hate you, but because the memory hurts,
Knowing that the person I loved was never really true.

Purane din yaad aate hain toh dil tadap uthta hai,
Kaise hum beparwah ho kar ek doosre mein khoye rehte the,
Ab toh bas dard hi dard hai jo har pal humein das-ta hai.
