Lyrics: Khan Bhaini 

Haye baba bolde na bebe uth khad-di,
Sirhane rakh chaah aali waati thaapi mardi,
Dhan jigra rakane us sherni da ladi aa,
Gareebi naal kade ni vekhi haar di.

With the voice from the Gurudwara, mother wakes up
Keeping a cup of tea next to my bed, she wakes me up
Salute to the courage of that lioness, girl, she fought
Poverty, I’ve never seen her lose

Ho gaalan baapu diyan naal manja shaddi da,
Eho pakka saada nitt da routine ae,
Vadda bhai kade vella hi ni dekheya,
Ni samajh ni aaundi pattu banda ya machine aa.

With my father’s abuses, I leave the bed
This is our daily family routine
I’ve seen my elder brother free
I don’t understand whether he’s a human or machine

Ho waddi bhabi vi aa changi tarah jandi,
Ke choti moti gall kiwe dabni deor di,
Ho pari nikki jehi bhateeji,
Deve bolan na totli jubaan,
Khoure kithon gall aaud di.

Elder sister-in-law also knows very well
How to hide the pity matters of brother-in-law
My small angel, my niece
Doesn’t let me speak, with her lisp speech
I wonder where she comes from with so many talks

Haye vehda jannat rakaane
Hor chahida ae ki,
Taan hi shadd ke punjab
Kitte lagda ni jee,

Oh, my home is the paradise, girl
What else do I want
That’s why leaving Punjab
I don’t feel like going anywhere else

Ho kudi hove na punjabi,
Hove jaandi te gabbru nu,
Hove na awaaj to pachaan di.

A girl will not be Punjabi
If she doesn’t know the boy
Or recognise him by his voice

Yaar ik ik kar gaye tange,
Khaure kithe moujan maandi aa,
Mittran de haan di.

One by one my every friend got married
I wonder where that girl would be enjoying
The one who with whom I’m destined

Hundi bhaini aala bhaini aala sunke,
Ethe kaian de kaleje painde hole ae,
Na koi kiti 12 gaanea di tape,
Par yaaran wallon tah vi 1 number mahaul ae.

Hearing Khan Bhaini’s name everywhere
Here, some people’s heart sink (get envious)
I haven’t done any 12 songs tape
But still I create wonderful ambience

Ho meri game da khidaari aa main kalla
Taan hi mittran da Pehle dooje number ala scene ni,
Ho paid video pavake bana ghaint,
Enna dig jayie thalle aise mittran de gene ni.

Of my game, I’m the only player
That’s why, of coming first or second, I’ve no scene
Posting paid videos so that I can become great
My genes are not such that I’ll stoop so low

Ni jazbaatan di aa gall,
Naa hi ajj nahi kal,
Jagah teji di rakaane,
Koi sakda ni mal.

It’s about emotions/feelings
Neither today nor tomorrow
Teji’s place, girl (Khan Baini’s friend)
No one can take

Haye ethe koi ni kise da baahla sochida ni,
Sari hi aa duniya begani unj goriye,
Ethe changean na har banda nibh je
Sawaad taan je maadeyan nu hath fad toriye.

Here, no one belongs to anyone, we doesn’t think much
The whole world is stranger, girl
Here, with a good person, everyone gets along
It’s a fun if even a bad person is shown the right path by holding his hand

Haye mode bhulli na jinna ne utte chaadeya,
Es duniya de rule yaara puthe aa,
Load paini a thalle nu jado mudeya nahi
Taan aisa diggega ke jana vi ni uttheya.

Don’t forget those shoulders who support you till top
Of this world the rules are upside down, my friend
When the need arises and if you won’t return
Then you’ll fall so low that you won’t be able to get up

Bade kadde bhuleke kamm kadde ni,
Main nawe bande labb ke purane kade chhadde ni,
Haye tere samjan ch auna kitho goriye,
Ni gabbru de thougt te slot doven wadde ni.

I’ve removed many illusions, not used them
I, finding new people, never left the old ones
Oh, you won’t be able to understand, girl
Boys thoughts and slot both are big

Haye kill gadd te rakaane,
Cheti hone nahio patt,
Ni agge laggeyan jo gaun,
Dungi maarni a satt.

Oh, removed the nails, girl
Can’t get impressed easily
The next what I’m gonna sing
Will hurt you deeply

Haye vaadhu ghumm laye mein mulkh,
Begaane baitha kalyug sir te,
Fukaare yaaro maarda,
Haye je na paal saki sone jehi mitti
Sheeshe patthran da shehar vi
Kite ni saanu taarda.

I travelled a lot countries
I’m sitting in strange country and the kali yuga sitting
On head is calling out, friends
If the gold soil (our own country – India) can’t support us
Then even the city of glass and stones
Can’t take us anywhere

Haye paudan doller’an wale,
Main kehnde suneya,
Pind mudna ae ethe chitt lagge na.

Oh, peoples who earn ponds and dollar’s
I’ve heard them saying
‘Wanna return homeland, my heart is full of this country’

Eh na hove kite aun wale time ch,
Punjab diyan fardan chon naam,
Sadda labbe na.

It shall not happen that in future
From the history of Punjab, our name
Is not heart

Ho agge marji a thodi baki mittro,
Ke adhi gai a lang,
Khaure kinni reh gai bhour di,
Chaun waleyan da din raat,
Vehde katth bharda gawaahi,
Kude mittran de dour di.

Rest is upto you, my friends
Half has passed
Don’t know how more long will I live
Of my fans, day and night
The gathering in my house fills the testimony
To my era, girl

Jooth karda hamesha jyada shor,
Na tu dol ghatt bol,
Bebe kehndi changi chup aa.

Lie always makes loud noise
Don’t waver, speak less
My mother says silence is better

Ajj kall reha chal jo mein gava aap,
Bhalde aan shavan loki dujeyan lai tup aa,
Jehda merean de chakk jave parde,
Oh businessman hona hona par yaar ni.

What’s going on these days, I’m singing myself
People seek for shade for themselves and let other be under sunrays
Those who lift veil from the death person
He’s a business man, not a friend

Oh ethe badi soukhi chaldi dukaan,
Live hoke bas net te bhakayi hi aa maarni,
Haye matt maar dinda paisa,
Te banda maar jande dukh,
Agge rabb hi raakha,
Gall ethe jandi muk.

Here, it’s very easy to run a shop
You just have to go live on internet and talk nonsense
Money corrupts the mind
And suffering/grief kills the person
Rest, may god take care of you
The conversation ends here.
