Oh, Ikky!

I can’t stop longing for you

I can’t stop longing for you

I can’t even bear to stay away from you

No, you!

My eyes don’t blink

No one else can captivate me like you do

Yeah, you!

I can’t stop longing for you

I can’t even bear to stay away from you

No, you!

My eyes don’t blink

You’re so precious, a rare find like a diamond

You’re so precious, a rare find like a diamond

So many guys chase after you, breaking hearts along the way

With you by my side, even thorns feel like roses

With you by my side, even thorns feel like roses

If you’re willing to wait, I won’t rush

I’m not just any follower, I’m devoted

Your beauty is unmatched, beyond compare

Yeah, you!

I can’t stop longing for you

I can’t even bear to stay away from you

No, you!

My eyes don’t blink

No one else can captivate me like you do

Yeah, you!

I can’t stop longing for you

I can’t even bear to stay away from you

No, you!

My eyes don’t blink

No one else can captivate me like you do

No matter what people say, I’ll stand by you

Even if I don’t have a home, I’ll make it work with you

I’ll keep smiling, even if it’s just for you

Show me the way, and I’ll make you laugh too

I can’t even dance to your tunes

I’m not worthy of your doubts

Because I don’t care what the world thinks

Yeah, you!

I can’t stop longing for you

I can’t even bear to stay away from you

No, you!

My eyes don’t blink

No one else can captivate me like you do

Yeah, you!

I can’t stop longing for you

I can’t even bear to stay away from you

No, you!

My eyes don’t blink

No one else can captivate me like you do

Your destiny is lucky, it’s your share

You don’t even care about your friends’ honor

Love finds its way, but money can’t buy a heart

Where will you find such loyalty in friendships now?

Is your heart full, or are your eyes filled with tears?

Those who gave advice, I’ll silence them with my shoes

You broke my heart, then acted cool

Those who were just friends, I’ll expose them

I won’t even step on their paths

They won’t even answer their phones

I won’t let anyone else take your place

Yeah, you!

I can’t stop longing for you

I can’t even bear to stay away from you

No, you!

My eyes don’t blink

No one else can captivate me like you do

Yeah, you!

I can’t stop longing for you

I can’t even bear to stay away from you

No, you!

My eyes don’t blink

No one else can captivate me like you do

Key Grammar Structures

• Chahuna thakk de vi nahi

  ➔ Negative construction with "de vi nahi" (cannot even)

  ➔ The phrase "de vi nahi" adds a strong negation, meaning the subject cannot even "de" (do) the action: "cannot even get tired of wanting".

• Ankh chakk de vi nahi

  ➔ Negative construction with "de vi nahi" (cannot even)

  ➔ Here "de vi nahi" again expresses inability: "cannot even stare (chakk) with eyes".

• Tere ton bina koyi hor takk de vi nahi

  ➔ Negation with "de vi nahi" after a comparative clause

  ➔ The phrase "de vi nahi" follows the comparative idea "without you (bina)" and means "no one else can even look (takk) without you".

• Tainu heera mileya ae kar kadar tu thodi

  ➔ Present‑time particle "ae" (is) after a verb phrase

  ➔ The word "ae" functions as a present‑tense copula, similar to "is" in English: "He/she/it **is** a diamond (heera) that you got".

• Je tu akk gi rakaane, assi akk de vi nahi

  ➔ Conditional "Je" (if) + future marker "gi" (will) + negative "de vi nahi"

  ➔ The word "Je" introduces a conditional clause, "gi" indicates a future action, and "de vi nahi" says the result is impossible: "If you **will** (gi) ever try, we **cannot even** (de vi nahi)".

• Assi taan mureed kise lagg de vi nahi

  ➔ Negation with "de vi nahi" after a prepositional phrase

  ➔ "de vi nahi" negates the possibility after "kise lagg" (any attachment), meaning "we cannot even be attached to anyone".

• Kise gall ton rakaane munda nassata vi hove

  ➔ Subjunctive/possibility with "hove" (may be)

  ➔ "hove" is used to express a hypothetical or possible state, similar to "might be" in English: "the boy might even be painted (nassata) from any talk (gall)".

• Tere hisse da tyaaya teri qismat lucky

  ➔ Possessive construction "Tere ... da" (of you) + adjective phrase

  ➔ "da" marks possession, equivalent to English "of": "the part of you (tere hisse) that is prepared (tyaaya) – your lucky destiny (qismat lucky)".

• Moore ki ohne aa phone jagg de vi nahi

  ➔ Negation with "de vi nahi" after a verb phrase (future "aa")

  ➔ "aa" signals a future action (will come), and "de vi nahi" says the result does not happen: "Even if the phone comes, we cannot even answer".
