Afsanay Lyrics English Translation – Talha Anjum, Talhah Yunus
Afsanay Ab Likhta Nahi Hu
I don’t write tales anymore
Mai Dunya Ko Dikhta Nahi Hu
I don’t appear in the world anymore
Mat Pucho Mai Kitna Sahi Hu
Don’t ask how right I am
Kyun Ek Jagah Tikta Nahi Hu
Why can’t I stay in one place
Basar Karte Hain Tere Dil Mai
I reside in your heart
Asar Hai Tou Shikwa Kare Kyun?
If there’s an effect, why complain?
Zikar Hota Hai Har Mehfil Mai
I’m mentioned in every gathering
Woh Chahtay Par Dikhta Nahi Hu
They desire me, but I’ve never seen
If I Were You And You Were Me (You Were Me)
If our roles were reversed, you were me
I Would Forgive You Jaise Tu Ho Aik Surang Mein Uske End Mein Tujhko Roshni Dikhi (Light It Up)
I would forgive you — like you’re in a tunnel and see light at the end
That’s How I See You
That’s how I look at you
Khud Ko Meri Nazar Se Dekh
Look at yourself through my eyes
If I Were You And You Were Me (If You Were Me)
If I were you, and you were me
Mein Aise Toot’Ta Ke Toot’Tay Hain Taaray Kya
I’d shatter like the stars do — would they break like me?
Wo Aaj Bhi Hai Muntazir (Yeah)
She’s still waiting, even today
Mukhtasir Aik Mulaqaat Ka, Phir Kabhi Mil Payein Na
A short meeting, maybe we’ll never meet again
Dil Doobay Aur Manzil Lagay Dur Bohot
The heart sinks, and the destination seems far away
Urooj Se Zawaal Dekhein Hain Noor Bohot
I’ve seen glory fall — so much light turned to darkness
Na Tere Haath Mein Zindagi Aur Na He Maut
Neither life nor death is in your hands
Mere Haath Mein Hai Qalam, Qallaa Aur Shauq
In my hands is the pen, the fort, and passion
Har Khof Se Azaad Kardo Meri Zaat Ko
Free my being from every fear
Qismato Se Paak Kardo Mere Haath Ko
Cleanse my hands from the stain of fate
Jis Hisaab Se Rakha Hai Dil Pe Bojh Mere
The way the burden’s placed on my heart
Jaise Karma Peechay Pada Hai Haath Do
Like karma is chasing me — hands forward (surrendering)
Gaanay Gaye Bohot, Dil Dukhaye Bohot
Sang many songs, hurt many hearts
Na Tumhein Aye Sharam, Na Humein Aye Maut
You feel no shame, we don’t feel death
Mein Sane Hu Is Minute, Next Minute I’m Psycho
I’m sane one moment, psycho the next
Industry Karay Follow, Brands Go Where I Go
The industry follows me, brands go wherever I go
Ye Mera Flex Nae Hai Life Hai (Yeah, Yeah)
This isn’t a flex — it’s my life
Send My Cheque Mujhay Baat Cheet Nae Chahiye (Yeah, Yeah)
Send the cheque — I don’t need to talk
I Got Bills, Mard Ke Alag Hotay Qaiday
I got bills — men have different rules
Agar Kamatay Nae Tau Mard Ho Tum Kaikay
If you don’t earn, what kind of man are you?
Future Dikhta Nae Hai Future Is What I Say (What I Say)
The future isn’t seen — I define the future
Wo Saath Khayein Kehna Padta Nae Wo Bhai Thay (Bhai Thay)
If they shared meals with me, I don’t have to say — they were brothers
I Do Or Die For The Gang
I live or die for my gang
Binna Likhat Padhat Key Kiye Huye Hain Ye Muhaeeday
We’ve made these pacts without any written deals
Saal Girah Tab Bhi Khada Tha Mein Mic Pe (Yeah)
Even on my birthday, I was standing with the mic
Gawah Yaar, Rawadaar, Mere Saath
Friends are my witnesses, loyal and true
Rahay Sadda Abaad Ye Awaaz
May this voice forever thrive
I Rap For A Purpose, Ye Career Aik Cause
I rap for a reason — this career is a cause
You Expect Me To Be Perfect And I’m Just Full Of Flaws
You expect perfection, but I’m full of flaws
Kaise Likhta Hu Ye Verses, Kya Karta Hu Mehsoos
How do I write these verses? It’s all about what I feel
Mein Binna Taj Ka Badshah Got Nothing To Lose
I’m a king without a crown — got nothing to lose
I’m Crossing Lines Just To Cancel Out The Booze
Crossing lines in life, just to cancel the need for alcohol
Ab Na Dil Se Niklay Arzu
Now no desires emerge from my heart
Jab Se Dil Se Nikli Aaj Tu
Since you left my heart today
Dil Tha Mera Gosha-E-Sakoon Aik
My heart was a peaceful corner
Kyun Bana Gayi Hai Isay Bazaar Tu
Why have you turned it into a market?
Dil Mai Sawaal Baday, Biche Hue Jaal Baday
Big questions in the heart, huge traps all around
Meri Misaal Chalay, Chahte Saaray Chaal Chalen
My example spreads — everyone wants to follow my style
Thappar Ye Gaal Pe, Industry Poori Paalte Rahay
Even when slapped, the whole industry depended on me
Laya Kitaab Jo Tum Khol Ke Sirf Chaapte Rahay
You brought a book only to copy it without understanding
Talway Mere Chaatte Rahay, Paisa Nae, Woh Daat De Rahay
They kept licking my boots — not giving money, just taunts
Dekhe Nae Halaat Mere, Yaaron Ne Jo Khwaab Dekhay
They didn’t see my struggles — the dreams my friends saw
Pooray Karu Aaj Ab Is Hath Mai Wo Aag Betay
I’ll fulfill them now — there’s fire in my hands
Paise Mai Wo Baat Nae Jo Izzat Meri Aaj Betay
Money doesn’t have what my respect holds today
Ye Imtehaan Kesa, Sooraj Nae Par Chaand Dekha
What kind of test is this? No sun — only the moon shines
Likhari Jaan Leva, Urdu Rap Ko Saans Deta
This writer can kill — yet breathes life into Urdu rap
Kisse Laddun Jung Sab Waaqif Hai Ye Medaan Mera
Who do I fight? All know this battleground is mine
Rap Meri Jaan Mai Karachi Kay Liye Jaan Deraha
Rap is in my soul — giving my life for Karachi
Ye Ladkay Likhtay Mujhe Dikhtay Apne Bars Bhae
These boys write and see themselves in my bars
Darta Nae Girnay Se Bas Dunya Se Naraaz Bhae
I’m not afraid of falling — just disappointed with the world
Ainay Ko Tod’Den Yu Jodte Alfaaz Bhae
I break mirrors — stitch them back with words
Lafz Kese Tolte Jab Bhaari Ye Awaaz Bhae
How do I weigh words when this voice is so heavy?
Dil Mera Saaf, Mai Industry Ka Woh Raaz Bhae
My heart is clean — I’m the secret of the industry
Darte Mujhse Aaj Bhi, Shaheen Ata Baaz Nae
They still fear me — though I’m no eagle or falcon
Bhai Full Pachaas, Talha Jaanay Khola Hath Nahe
Full score (50/50) — Talha never held his hand back
Kaagaz Ko Mai Aag Du, Pichwaday Inke Rakh Bhae
I’ll burn the paper and leave the ashes behind them
Sarr Apna Nochrahay Hum Sote Ve Bhi Soch Rahay
Tearing our heads — even in sleep, we’re deep in thought
Khwaabon Mai Bhi Apno Kay Khushi Kay Ansu Poch Rahay
In dreams too, wiping tears of our loved ones’ joy
I Ain’t A Role Model, Aaj Bhi On The Road Ayy
I’m no role model — still out on the streets
Underground Ko Laya Mainstream Walay Shows Mai
Brought the underground to mainstream shows
Deal Hoti Close Uthte Sath Mujhe Hosh Nae
Deals close as I wake — I’m barely aware
Industry Mere Lun# Pe Par Nae Wo Meri Dost Nae
The industry’s on my d***, but it’s not my friend
Rozi Roti Likhi Ooper Walay Ne, Afsos Nae
My bread’s written by God — no regrets
Darrte Nae Hum Maut Se, Musaafir Martay Roz Bhae
We don’t fear death — travelers die every day
I Ask God, Why You Made Fear?
I ask God — why did You make fear?
Sab Rona Chahtay But We Hate Tears
Everyone wants to cry, but we hate tears
I’m Never Sober But I Stay Clear
I’m never sober, but I keep my mind clear
Samajh Se Baahir Mai Jese Shakespeare
I’m beyond understanding — like Shakespeare
Arsay Se Khayi Nae Roti Maa Ki Hath Ki
It’s been ages since I’ve eaten food from my mother’s hands
Taaron Ko Mai Naam Duu Tu Dekh Meri Saadgi
I name the stars — look at my simplicity
Dushman Ko Bhi Kaam Duu, Kese Hogi Barabari
I even give my enemy work — how can you compare with me?
Log Meri Mehnat Ka Phal Khana Chahte Aaj Bhi
People still want to enjoy the fruits of my labor
Ye Baaten Nahi Kaagzi, Mai Khud Ko Deta Daat Bhae
These aren’t empty words — I scold myself too
Sach Se Dunya Bhaagti, Aur Mai Sirf Sach Ke Sath Bhae
The world runs from truth, but I only stand with truth
Highest In The Room Mujh Tak Pohanchengay Kya Khaak Bhae
“Highest in the Room” — they’ll never reach me
Har Gaanay Ki Mai Dhun, Sirf Beaton Se Karta Baat Ayy
I’m the melody of every song — I speak only through beats
