Lyrics: Tarsem Jassar

Shukar ae rabba, shukar ae rabba
Shukar ae rabba, shukar ae rabba
Shukar ae rabba, shukar ae rabba
Shukar ae rabba, shukar ae rabba

Thank you god, thank you god
Thank you god, thank you god
Thank you god, thank you god
Thank you god, thank you god 

Tera shukar ae rabba, shukar ae rabba
Ditta ae bada, ditta ae bada
Shukar ae rabba, shukar ae rabba
Ditta ae bada, ditta ae bada (x2)

Thanks to you god, thank you god
You’ve granted me a lot, granted me a lot
Thank you god, thank you god
You’ve granted me a lot, granted me a lot (x2)

Utte vall dekhan tan akhir nahiyo koi
Jehda bande nu rajaave aisa seer nahiyo koi
Fakkar’an de warga fakeer nahiyo koi
Haraam di kamaayi di lakeer nahiyo koi

When I see upwards, it seems endless
Which can end men’s greed, there is no such labour
There’s no monk like the non- attached monk
There’s no trail of illegal earnings

Jehda kade vi naa mare 
Shareer nahiyo koi
Jehda mukkda ni vehno 
Aisa neer nahiyo koi

Who never dies
There’s’ no such body
Which never stops flowing
There’s no such water

Hardwork agge takdeer na khaloyi
Vaddenga vi ohi, jehda ajj jaana boyi

Luck always gets defeated by hard work
You’ll reap what you sow

Shukar ae rabba, shukar ae rabba
Ditta ae bada, ditta ae bada
Shukar ae rabba, shukar ae rabba
Ditta ae bada, ditta ae bada 

Thank you god, thank you god
You’ve granted me a lot, granted me a lot
Thank you god, thank you god
You’ve granted me a lot, granted me a lot

(Aitraaz to aksar karta hoon 
Ke tune ye nahi diya
Par jab gaur se khud ko dekha 
To pata chala tune diya kya hai
To yahi dil se aawaz aayi 
Ki jitna tumhe mila 
Tune itna bhi kiya kya hai)

(I often complaint
That you’ve not given me this or that
But when I looked carefully at myself
Then I realised, what you’ve granted me
Then my heart said
Whatever I ‘ve got
What have I done with it)

Kaiyan di oh duaa ae 
Te kaiyan di salaam ae
Kaiyan di oh fateh ae 
Kaiyan di ram ram ae

For some he (god) is a prayer
And for some he is Salaam (greeting in Islam)
For some he is Fateh (greeting in Sikhism)
For some he is Ram Ram (greeting in Hinduism)

Jinne ohde naam ae 
Saare parwaan ae
Tere layi jo khaas ae 
Oh maalak layi aam ae

All his names
Are accepted by him
What is precious for you
Is ordinary (common) for god

Kise di khushi naam ae 
Kise di khushi jaam ae
Teri jehdi jung ae 
Oh tere hi banaam ae

For some happiness is his (god’s) name (praying)
For some happiness is celebrating/partying/drinking
Your battle
Is against you

Parde ch paap aithe 
Punn shareaam ae
Eerkha ne kar dena 
Khushi nu haraam ae

Here, evil is behind veil
Holy is open
Your jealousy will
Destroy happiness 

Sab kuch fake 
Baaki kalla sach naam ae
Bande ne shah 
Kayi bande gulaam ae

Everything is fake
Only his (god’s) name is true
Some become king
Some become slaves

Hisse aali duniya te 
Hisse da mukaam ae
De dena tu 
Je oh jaagda imaan ae

World is in companionship
And success is in companionship
You grant them
When his faith ignites 

Shukar ae rabba, shukar ae rabba
Ditta ae bada, ditta ae bada
Shukar ae rabba, shukar ae rabba
Ditta ae bada, ditta ae bada 

Thank you god, thank you god
You’ve granted me a lot, granted me a lot
Thank you god, thank you god
You’ve granted me a lot, granted me a lot

Pehleyan pehran ch kayi uth jande ne
Aape sirr shukran ch jhukk jande ne
Jassar de lafz vi mukk jande ne
Taithon mangke hi jud tukk jande ne

Some wake up early morning for prayers
Heads bow down itself in his (god’s) gratitude
Even Jassar runs out of words
Praying to you, I get blessed with words (you’re the one who make me write)

Eh saah, eh hawa 
Eh bemulla paani
Eh dhupp, eh chup 
Eh zindagi kahaani

This breath, this wind
This priceless water
This sunlight, this silence
This life story

Assi jhalle kalle 
Tu bane haani
Tu sach, sachi teri baani

We’re crazy alone
You become our companion
Your truth, your bani is true

Shukar ae rabba, shukar ae rabba
Ditta ae bada, ditta ae bada
Shukar ae rabba, shukar ae rabba
Ditta ae bada, ditta ae bada (x2)

Thank you god, thank you god
You’ve granted me a lot, granted me a lot
Thank you god, thank you god
You’ve granted me a lot, granted me a lot (x2)
