Tu hai har tha te
Bas Tu Tu tu tu tu tu
Meri main ne te tho juda rakhya
Menu banda te tenu khuda rakhya
Jado metho main muk gayi
Bas Tu Tu tu tu tu tu tu tu
Tu hai har tha te hey bas tu tu tu
J har tha te mojood hai tu Fer kyu nahi nazara hi janda.
Kuzraan meri kyu puchda hai
Eh gal koi puchne vali hai.
Do nain jado ro lende ne do din ly
Gujara hojanda.
Do nain jado ro lende ne.
Main saaki apni toubate.
Ek pal vich totte kar dinda.
J nazara nazara vich tera
Ek vaar ishara ho janda.
Eh socha soch k dil mera
Kyu kara bara ho janda...
J nazara nazara vich tera ek baar
Ishara hi janda.

Overall Meaning:
The lyrics of Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan's song "Eh Sochan Soch Ke Dil Mera" talk about a lover who is constantly thinking about their beloved. The first verse talks about how the lover feels that their beloved is everywhere around them, yet they feel separated from them. They go on to say that when they feel lost or disconnected, the only thing that brings them back is the thought of their beloved. The chorus asks the question of why the lover's gaze does not fall upon the person they love when they are everywhere, and why they need to search for them.
The second verse seems to be asking why people ask about the heartbroken person's state when it is obvious that they are in pain. The lyrics point out that when someone is crying for two days, eventually time passes and they begin to feel better. The following lines talk about how the lover feels regret for any mistakes they have made and wishes to repent. In the coda, the lover muses on how just one glance from their beloved can make their heart race and wonders why their thoughts of them cause them such great emotion.
Overall, the lyrics convey the pain, longing and regret of a lover who is separated from their beloved. While their beloved is constantly present in their thoughts, they are unable to connect with them in reality. The song is a tribute to the all-consuming nature of love and the sometimes unbearable pain it can bring.
