Rasmein na jaany kia hota hai pyar
Rishtey na jaany kia hota hai pyar
Qasmein sab waady kar dety hain beqar
Apne na jaany kia hota hai pyar
Rishtey na jaany kia hota hai pyar
Qasmein sab waady kar dety hain beqar
Rishtey na jaany kia hota hai pyar
Rasmein na jaany kia hota hai pyar
Soni soni khushiyan sanjhi
Chahaton pe gham hain bhari
Zindagi luta ke sari
Ham ne hai muhabbat hari
Hmm chahaton ke saye aye
Tab e dil they muskaraye
Waqt phir woh Khuda laye
Phir se woh kahin na jaye
Jaane deewane kia hota hai pyar
Apne na jaany kia hota hai pyar
Ho qasmein sab waady kar dety hain beqar
Rishtey na jaany kia hota hai pyar
Rasmein na jaany kia hota hai pyar
Yaadon ke bhanwar mein khooye
Mere sath mosam roye
Rooh ke ye zakham saary
Ham ne anso'on se dhoye
Sochti hain tere baary
Bhoole na woh lamhe saary
Kahan se kahan le aye
Rasmon ke ye behte dhaary
Waqt na jaane kia hota hai pyaar
Apne na jaany kia hota hai pyar
Qasmein sab waady kar dety hain beqar

Overall Meaning:
The lyrics to Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan's song Bewafa Se Bhi Pyar Hota Hai delve deep into the complexities of love and relationships. The opening lines highlight how love is a mystery - "Rasmein na jaany kia hota hai pyar, Rishtey na jaany kia hota hai pyar" which roughly translates to "Love has no set traditions, love has no preconceptions". The lyrics point to the fact that love is something that cannot be explained or predicted. The following lines highlight how people make promises and vows that often end up being empty and futile, and how in reality, no one really knows what love truly entails.
The song then moves onto the pain and suffering that love can often bring. "Soni soni khushiyan sanjhi Chahaton pe gham hain bhari Zindagi luta ke sari Ham ne hai muhabbat hari" refers to the fact that even though there may be shared moments of joy, love can also bring intense grief and heartbreak. The lyrics also highlight how individuals may lose themselves in the pursuit of love, giving up everything they have for that one special person.
Towards the end of the song, the lyrics touch upon memories and the impact they can have on us. The lyrics highlight that love can be a journey - "Kahan se kahan le aye Rasmon ke ye behte dhaary" ("From where to where these flowing streams of rites have brought us"). The song concludes with the lines - "Waqt na jaane kia hota hai pyaar Apne na jaany kia hota hai pyar Qasmein sab waady kar dety hain beqar" which roughly translates to "Time does not know what love really is. We do not know what love really is. Promises mean nothing." This last sentiment reinforces the idea that love is a force beyond human understanding and that ultimately, it cannot be contained within the confines of promises and vows.
