Hooooo.
Akhian noon chain na awe, sajna ghar a ja
Har dam teri yaad satawe, hun pera pa ja
Darda di mari, ro ro ke hari, tanga teria ne minu marea... pyarea
Akhian noon chain na awe, sajna ghar a ja
Har dam teri yaad satawe, hun pera pa ja
Darda di mari, ro ro ke hari, tanga teria ne minu marea... pyarea
Akhian noon chain na awe, sajna ghar a ja
Sajna mere dard wada, meri ujri jogh wagha,
Apna ban ke kar nu a, hun tatri nu sine la
Sajna mere dard wada, meri ujri jogh wagha,
Apna ban ke kar nu a, hun tatri nu sine la
Chad ke tu tur gea duur we, keri galey hoeo majbuur we
Tak nia rah tere, muk chale sah mere, Aja mere dil de saharea
Hoooo...
Akhian noon chain na awe, sajna ghar a ja
Har dam teri yaad satawe, hun pera pa ja
Akhian noon chain na awe, sajna ghar a ja
Teri yaad sataun di we, rati need na aundi e
Duri bohat ruwandi eh, kali jind purnaun di e
Teri yaad sataun di we, rati need na aundi e
Duri bohat ruwandi eh, kali jind purnaun di e
Kise nal inj naiu kari da, sajna we rab kolo dari da
Kara tenu yaad we, sun faryad we, chutea we beatbarea
Hooo...
Akhian noon chain na awe, sajna ghar a ja
Har dam teri yaad satawe, hun pera pa ja
Akhian noon chain na awe, sajna ghar a ja
Sukh tere paware ne, ronde nein wachare ne
Tere chute lare ne, karde ghala sare ne
Sukh tere paware ne, ronde nein wachare ne
Tere chute lare ne, karde ghala sare ne
Ho gea e akhian tu ole we, kera bei ke dukh sukh pole we
Kadra na paia tu, toor na nabai tu, tere piche sab kuch harea
Akhian noon chain na awe, sajna ghar a ja
Har dam teri yaad satawe, hun pera pa ja
Darda di mari, ro ro ke hari, tanga teria ne minu marea... pyarea
Akhian noon chain na awe, sajna ghar a ja
Har dam teri yaad satawe, hun pera pa ja

Overall Meaning:
The lyrics of "Aakhiyan Nu Chain Na Aave" express the anguish of separation and longing for reunion with a loved one. The singer is pleading with their beloved to return home as they can no longer find peace with the constant memories that haunt them. The repetition of the line "Akhian noon chain na awe, sajna ghar a ja" (my eyes cannot find rest, my beloved, come back home) reinforces the emotions of pain and separation that the singer is experiencing.
The lyrics are a fusion of Punjabi and Urdu, and the use of the word "sajna" (beloved) is common in both languages. The line "Sajna mere dard wada, meri ujri jogh wagha" (beloved, fulfill your promise, my life is wasted) reveals that the separation has caused immense pain and suffering for the singer. The imagery of a deserted house and a distressed lover creates a vivid picture of the longing for companionship and love.
The use of traditional musical instruments like harmonium, tabla, and sarangi, along with the soulful voice of Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, enhances the emotional depth of the lyrics. The song beautifully portrays the pain of separation and the hope for reunion with a loved one.
