Ho jave je pyar te sauna bhul jaanda
Kite hon ikraar te sauna bhul jaanda
Taare ginne painde neendran aundiyan nahi
Vich udeekan rehndiyan ankhiyan saundiyan nahi
Ankhan ho jaan chaar te sauna bhul jaanda
Ho jaaave je pyar te sauna bhul jaanda
Rang berangiyan ruttan changiyan lagdiyan nahi
Ankhiyan jaan hajje ishq diyan agg diyan nahi
Ruswa jaave je yaar te sauna bhul jaanda
Ho jaave je pyar te sauna bhul jaanda
Lekhan de vich dooriyan dooriyan ne
Ki dassan main pyar ch ki majbooriyan ne
Pyar ch aave haar te sauna bhul jaanda
Ho jaave je pyar te sauna bhul jaanda
Sochan de vich din te raatan langdiyan ne
Yaadan mud mud 'Bari' dil nu dangdiyan ne
Chchid paye je takraar te sauna bhul jaanda
Ho jaave je pyar te sauna bhul jaanda

Overall Meaning:
The lyrics to Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan's "Ho Jaye Je Pyar Te Sona Bhul Jaunda" tell the tragic story of a love that is lost and forgotten. The song begins with the haunting line "Ho jave je pyar te sauna bhul jaanda" which means "If love becomes lost, one forgets everything else too." The singer laments the fact that when love is lost, all other things seem to become unimportant and it is almost as if they never existed. The second line "Kite hon ikraar te sauna bhul jaanda" further amplifies this point, meaning "One forgets even the promises made."
The second stanza of the song speaks of the inability to sleep and the constant longing for one's lost lover. The lines "Taare ginne painde neendran aundiyan nahi / Vich udeekan rehndiyan ankhiyan saundiyan nahi" mean "Counting stars doesn't bring sleep, / Eyes stay awake with longing." The singer also mentions that love seems to create a type of blindness, where nothing else is seen or felt. "Ankhan ho jaan chaar te sauna bhul jaanda" means "Eyes lose their focus when love is lost, and one forgets everything else."
The third and last stanza of the song describes the writer's feelings of isolation and loneliness. The lines "Sochan de vich din te raatan langdiyan ne / Yaadan mud mud 'Bari' dil nu dangdiyan ne" mean "Days and nights pass in thoughts, / Memories keep dancing in my heart." The lines that follow speak to the desperation and sadness that the writer feels when love is lost. "Chchid paye je takraar te sauna bhul jaanda / Ho jaave je pyar te sauna bhul jaanda" translates to "Arguments fade away and one forgets everything if love is lost."
