Kaifi Khalil, Eva B & Wahab Bugti - Kana Yaari (English Translation)
[Chorus: Wahab Bugti]
They befriend you and then betray you
While there is no sign of love there
There is no sign of love here
There is no sign of love here
There is no sign of love here

[Verse 1: Kaifi Khalil]
Love is of stoics, saints and their disciples
Love is of guides, of friends of God
Who has time to study and understand love these days?
Go and learn the tale of Hammal-o-Mahganj

The light in one’s еyes returns from love
So lovе isn't what you claim to profess

[Chorus: Kaifi Khalil]
They befriend you and then betray you
While there is no sign of love there
They befriend you and then betray you
While there is no sign of love here
There is no sign of love here
There is no sign of love here
They befriend you and then betray you
While there is no sign of love here

[Verse 2: Eva B]
What good is a friendship if you can’t take each other’s tantrums
By the way with time friendship fades away
I’ll always taunt you for myself being the only one there for you
But I still love you, that’s a promise

In this state, I should be the one complaining
But it’s too late now that it’s become pointless
I keep forgetting the words I have written
Even gone are the days when messengers would deliver letters

Friends suggest not to complain
But to grief this betrayal quietly
But my heart says fight for it
Don’t turn yourself away from the ones you care for

The ones who used to oppose me are your friends now
Your actions opened my eyes to your pretense
That a friend turned out to be the enemy
While the enemy turned out to be a friend

I comforted myself and then broke my own heart


[Verse 3: Kaifi Khalil]
Nowadays you’ve become arrogant, haven’t you?
You don’t even glance at me, do you?
You came my way on your own
And now you say you are disappointed?
Yes I am poor but my heart is pure
You are rich, my loss means nothing to you
May God give you eternal happiness in your life
While I’m living on dirt
You are Arabian Gulf, you are blessed
I am Lyari, I am cursed
You can go sleep in peace
While I am stuck here, turning mentally ill
The world says love is madness
Yet this world hasn’t been madly in love
This world is an illusion
But oh world! I still wish you could fall in love this way

[Bridge: Wahab Bugti]
Hold near the people who matter
Since your enemies are only with you for the good times
You still don't get who you are, do you?
And then you’ll taunt me again
I repent a hundred times the love we knew isn't here
The love we knew isn't here
I repent a thousand times
The love we knew isn't here


[Chorus: Wahab Bugti, Eva B & Kaifi Khalil]
They befriend you and then betray you
While there is no sign of love there
That a friend turned out to be the enemy
While the enemy turned out to be a friend
There is no sign of love here
Hey, I comforted myself and then broke my own heart
There is no sign of love here
There is no sign of love here
There is no sign of love here
Sign of love…
