Blog Day :

Let me tell you a bit about the background of this post. My nephew works as an RJ for a radio station and he has a slot called ‘Golmaal Gagan ne bol diya to bol diya‘, which is an audio review of latest movies. The way things are these days I am sure he goes through a lot of pain watching substandard movies. He praised a recently released movie called ‘Jawaani Jaaneman’ (2020).  After listening to his review of this film I decided to watch it. Just as I was mulling over when to go to watch the movie, I got a message from our fellow Atulite Avinash. He wanted me to write up a bidaai song that was used in the film. Very kindly, he even sent me the lyrics of the song to help me.

There are many a slip between the cup and the lip, they say. There was a strike on uber cabs in my tricity on the day I was to go to see the movie. The strike went on for many days. One thing led to another and I was unable to watch the movie. Today I logged into Amazon Prime to check out what they were offering. On a whim, I looked to see if this movie had started streaming yet. Viola! It was there. I just spent my quarantine afternoon watching the film.

‘Jawa’ni Jaaneman’ stars Saif Ali Khan as Jazz, a Punjabi settled in London. He is an estate broker and not hugely successful. He believes in YOLO [You-Only-Live-Once] and spends his time partying hard and scoring with girls. He is at that awkward age that is on the cusp of elderliness. He needs root touch ups, dark glasses even at night to hide his wrinkly eyes and spectacles to read. Yet he wants to continue his unfettered lifestyle. A couple of girls rebuff him as an oldie, but many girls continue to fall for him, so he is happy. Into this walks a young girl, Tia, who claims to be his daughter. She turns his life upside down.

Tia is very ably played by Alaya Furniturewala, daughter of Pooja Bedi. She gets her looks from her mother, bindaas attitude from her grandmother Protima Bedi and acting chops from her grandfather, Kabir Bedi. She livens the movie up with her lovely performance as a girl in search of her father. Tabu plays the mother of Tia. Her performance was top notch as usual, though it saddened me deeply to see her showing her age. Farida Jalal plays Jazz’s mother; she is wasted, if you ask me. She barely has a part. Not that she disappointed, I wanted to see more of her.  I loved Kumud Mishra as Jazz’s older brother Dimpy. His part is small but he was so good in it.

I thought Saif is not his usual self in this movie. To be frank I have not seen too many recent movies. I have seen Saif in his earlier films and found him quite engaging. He looks the part, for sure. He is believable as a swinger in his forties. But playing the tumba every time the camera pans on Saif, to remind us that he is Punjab da Puttar, becomes a bit off putting. In my opinion, the movie had a slow start which picks up steam once Saif introduces his daughter to his family. It ends up nicely, if a bit predictably.

The song under discussion here is a bidaai song. Traditionally sung when the bride is about to leave her maternal home after marriage, here it is used when Tia has a fight with her father and decides to leave with her mother. Though Saif’s acting was largely lackluster, during this song his expressions were on point. Alaya shone as usual as a heart broken girl leaving her father after a tiff.

The opening of this song has been taken from a popular Punjabi song sung by the inimitable Surinder Kaur – “Madhaniyan, Haaye O Mere Daadeya Rabba, Kinnaan Jammiyaan Kinnaan Ne Lai Jaaniyaan“. It is a cry of despair by the bride at being cast out by her parents, her brothers and sisters-in-law.

Harshdeep Kaur is no stranger to us, having won several awards and being dubbed ‘Sufi ki Sultana’. I love most of the songs sung in her rich voice. Here too, her lovely voice tugs at our heart strings.

I am trying to attempt a translation of the song. I am not sure I am up to it, so please excuse my gauche efforts.

haaye o mere daadeya rabba
kinnaa jammeya
kinnaa ne lai jaaneya haaye
inj lagdaa mainu haan
jinve rusiyaa saara jahaanteri ankh daa taara
vagge paani khaara

kyun pichchhe aye mudna
dil aisaa aye tuteyaa

roye aangan vehda
nai lagnaa pheraa

mere baabula
mere baabula
tera lakht-e-jigar aj challeyaa

mere athroo jaande
sukh de ve ae ae ae
te pair naa jaande rukde ve ae

meri marzi na muskaandi aye
te qismat payi aazmaandi aye

jinve pura ghar tere naal gayaa
har rut har mausam saal gayaa

naa aahat naa koi dastak hai
ghar bin tere bematlab hai

inj lagdaa mainu haan
jinve rusiyaa saara jahaan

teri ankh daa taara
vagge paani khaara

kyun pichchhe hai mudna
dil aisa aye tuteyaa

roye aangan vehda
nai lagnaa pheraa aa aa aa aa

kalla hoya kalla hoya
mera lakht-e-jigar aj challeyaa

 


oh god you are so tough on me,
those who gave birth to me
are sending me away
i feel the whole world
has turned its face from methe star of your eyes
is crying bitter tears

why should i look back
my heart is broken
my house and courtyard cry
will you never return?

my father
my father
the darling of your heart is leaving today
my eyes are drying up
yet my feet do not want to stay

my desires have stopped smiling
fate is testing me

my whole house is empty,
(it has departed with you)
all the seasons, all the years are gone
the house has fallen into silence
it is no home without you

i feel as if the whole world
has turned its face from me

the star of your eyes
cries bitter tears

why look back on
my heartbreak

the home  and courtyard cry out
will you ever return?

i am left all alone
my heart’s darling has left

Blog Day : 3650 Post No. : 14493

ASAD 10th Anniversary Celebrations – 7
———————————————————————

Time has the notorious habit of sometimes standing still and at other times simply flying by. It is a really momentous occasion that our beloved blog is completing one decade! Sometimes feels like just yesterday when one ended up on the blog in search of a song. The hard work and dedication put in by Atul ji with able support by Sudhir ji and our other atulites has probably been unparalleled in music related documentation and archiving. Many long forgotten songs and artists have been granted a new audience thanks to this wonderful blog of ours. The hard work being done is really appreciable and every bit of the applause that can be given is too small compared to the single minded effort being put into making the blog even better day by day.

For a blog that started with a Song a Day promise has regularly seen many more than one posts per day. Hardly any week goes by when something really new to us doesn’t turn up here! Its an awe inspiring journey which we are all glad to be part of in our own small ways. Salutes to the captain of the ship, Atul ji for all that you have done. You’re an inspiration to all of us and your passion indeed ignites that fire in all the others as well.

Contributors from India and abroad have made it all the more richer. Things can only get better and its heartening to see the blog crossing one milestone after other. The blog is more than just a blog and indeed is part of our lives everyday! Atul ji deserves at least a Padma Shri for this humongous dedicated and continuous effort!! In spite of packed days at work and transfers now and then, this karwaan has continued. Wish it many more decades of joy and enlightenment. Thanks a lot Atul ji and all other friends for making this happen!  I am blessed to have met you all and found lifelong friends in you. Praying for many more decades of happiness and togetherness!

For today’s post I have chosen a song which I adore. I discovered it when the movie was released. Though the movie didn’t get much adulation at the box office, its music was quite appreciated. The sentiment is a bit like mine for our unique blog whose parallel cannot be there. The artist who features in all the song’s credits is versatile and talented like our friends here. It’s a real pity that we have not seen him getting more opportunities in Hindi films in spite of the stellar contribution in the form of this film’s music. This artist is the composer, singer and the lyricist of this song. Quite an all rounder! Let me discuss a bit about his musical journey so far.

The artist I am talking about is called Rabbi Shergill. Rabbi was born in 1973 at Delhi. He was named as Gurpreet Singh Shergill but is popularly known by his stage name of ‘Rabbi Shergill’. His father was a Sikh preacher and his mother was a school principal who also wrote poetry in Punjabi. He has four sisters, one of whom, Gagan Gill is a Hindi poet. After completing his graduation from Delhi University, he formed a band called ‘Kaffir’ for some time. After that wrapped up, He also composed for some jingles for companies like Yamaha RX-T motorcycles and Times FM. He worked with Sony Music and Tehelka for sometime. He made his debut with the popular self-titled album Rabbi. Thanks to word of mouth its popularity soared particularly that of “Bulla Ki Jaana” written by Baba Bulle Shah whose video was shown on TV request programmes a lot. The album also had “Heer” written by the great Waris Shah and “Ishtehaar” written by the famous Punjabi  poet Shiv Kumar Batalvi. The other songs of the album were written by Rabbi himself. I still remember the CD which had all the lyrics and their meaning written on it.

This CD album sparked the craze for more Punjabi folk songs, other than just bhangra. The style has been called Folk Rock or Sufi Rock thanks to the influences on his music. His songs have since been known for their emotive content and meaningful words with spiritual leaning often taking from our sufi, folk and poetic traditions. As an India Today interview by Smita Mishra sums it, “He has not only revived the poetry of brilliant poets of yesteryears, but has also contributed as a literary genius in creating lyrics that are sublime expressions of deep thought and spiritualism.” The same year, he sang a song “Laundiya Ke Pallu Mein” for the movie ‘Waisa Bhi Hota Hai Part-II” but it was not noticed, while its other songs “Allah Ke Bande” (first song of Kailash Kher) and “Sajna Aa Bhi Ja” by Shibani Kashyap rising the charts. He also wrote and sang a song “Aa Yaaran” for the album ‘Let’s Enjoy’ (2004) which had music by Midival Punditz and Ashvin Mani Sharma.

In 2007, he also composed for the movie ‘Delhi Heights’, of which I’ll talk later (from which today’s song is taken). In October 2008, Shergill released his second album ‘Avengi Ja Nahin’ under the label of Yashraj Music. The album contains nine songs and deals with issues like communal violence, social responsibility and the need for “collective morality”The song “Pagdi Sambhal Jatta” from it was well received, which talked of history and heritage. He also appeared in MTV Unplugged (India) in 2011.

He lent his voice to Yash Chopra’s 2012 romantic film ‘Jab Tak Hai Jaan’ singing the leading number “Chhalla” composed by AR Rahman with lyrics penned by Gulzar. In March 2012, he released his third album ‘Rabbi III’. Ganga was the song whose video was released and appreciated by some.  In 2013, AR Rahman sang a duet “Tu Mun Shudi” with him for his movie ‘Raanjhana’ whose lyrics were written by Irshad Kaamil.

Some of these later works have not been very popular and sadly, we are not seeing much of Rabbi Shergill since a few years. He does have a YouTube channel but its not very active (In last 3-4 years only one or two songs are released on it). In 2013, on it he had released his single “Tun Milen – The Ghost of LSD” whose chorus is adapted from the poem ‘Tur Giaa Koi Dil Ch Lae Ke Saadgi’ by the troubled Punjabi poet Late Lal Singh Dil which was also released on his own O3 Records.

In 2007, Rabbi made his debut with the movie ‘Delhii Heights’ for which he wrote the lyrics and composed the music along with singing in 3 of its 6 songs. This film was made under the banner of Sivaji Productions. Old timers will be familiar with this banner thanks to its founder and famous actor Sivaji Ganesan. It is known majorly for its Tamil films but it had produced Hindi films also. Its first Hindi film was ‘Amardeep’ in 1958 and their other movie was ‘Raakhi’ in 1962.

Sivaji Productions is now being managed by the late actor’s son Prabhu Ganesan (from his wife Kamala). Prabhu Ganesan is also a well known actor in Tamil films. He had made his debut in a supporting role in ‘Sangili’ (1982) which was a Tamil remake of movie ‘Kaalicharan’ where his father reprised the famous double role of Shatrughan Sinha.  Newer audiences may be remembering Prabhu’s roles in ‘Vasool Raja MBBS’ (Tamil remake of Munna Bhai MBBS), ‘Billa’ and ‘Chandramukhi’ (which was also produced by him) among other movies. He is of course also famous for being in a live in relationship and then being married briefly to superstar actress Kushboo. His son Vikram Prabhu is also an actor in Tamil films who got critical acclaim with his debut movie ‘Kumki’ in 2012.

‘Delhii Heights’ is set in Delhi. It is written-directed by Anand Kumar for whom this was the first movie too just like Rabbi. It features Jimmy Shergill, Neha Dhupia, Om Puri, Rohit Roy, Simone Singh, Vivek Shauq and Kamini Khanna. Madhavan made a guest appearance in the movie. Screenplay-dialogue by Sanyukta Chawla, cinematography by Aatish Parmar, art by Sonal, editing by Shrikar Prasad, costumes by Hari Nakai and Varun Bahl, choreography by Remo D’Souza and stunts by Action Prakash are the other credits. The plot of the film is as follows,

Delhii Heights is a high-rise apartment building in Delhi, where Abi (Jimmy Shergill) and his wife (Neha Dhupia) live – a married couple who work for rival companies. It’s about how their professional lives affect their personal lives. In the same building, there lives Timmy Kohli (Om Puri), a fun loving Sikh, with his wife Ruby (Kamini Khanna) and two daughters, Sweety (Sakshi Gulati) and (Shaina Ahluwalia). Then there is Bobby (Rohit Roy) and his wife Saima (Simone Singh). Bobby is a compulsive flirt and his wife knows about it. How things take place and how their lives change is to be seen.

Then there is Lucky (Vivek Shauq), a cricket bookie, a hilarious character in itself. Also, there is a group of four boys living in the same complex, three of whom are identified as Mohit Sehgal, Anuj Sachdeva and Kinshuk Mahajan. They keep running after girls and pulling each other’s legs. How the lives of these residents at Delhii Heights play out is what the film is about.

The director who himself is from Delhi tried to bring out the Delhi vibe in the movie. In spite of a good cast, it could not attract enough audience and was unfortunately a financial disaster because of which its music did not get the attention it deserved. With the song chosen for today, Delhii Heights makes its debut on the blog.

The song from the film which I present today is “Tere Bin Saanu Sohneya Koi Hor Nahiyon Labna”. It’s a very sweet ballad sung, written and composed by Rabbi Shergill. With this song Rabbi makes his debut as a lyricist, singer and composer on the blog. The song is very sweet and romantic which touches your heartstrings. Portions of it make one really emotional (as we are on this momentous occasion) and the deep meaning can make one speechless. It reminds one of loves lost but still cherished. It is capable of bringing tears to eyes effortlessly giving a bitter-sweet feeling where one is overwhelmed by the love but also thankful for it. It’s a perfect ode to love that can be found in life rarely and is very soothing in a way as well. The choice of words is very apt and beautiful. Rabbi must know what love is and lucky is the one who has the kind of love described in the song.

Its written in Punjabi and thus, it becomes the first Punjabi song from a Hindi film on the blog (earlier we had three shabads/bhajans on the blog which are not from Hindi films). I thought it would be apt to also put the Gurmukhi lyrics with this post too and this makes it the first Gurmukhi lyrics to be posted on the blog. I acknowledge the help received from Surjit Singh ji of the GeetSangeet Facebook Group who helped me with some of the spellings and words. With the Devanagari lyrics, this is probably the first trilingual lyrics on the blog too.

For the help of non-native Punjabi speakers I am adding the meanings of the wonderful lyrics below with the Punjabi transliteration and translation in English,

 

tere bin saanu sohneya Other than you my (beautiful) love
koi hor nahiyon labna I will not find anyone else
jo deve rooh nu sakoon Who will give peace to my inner soul
chuke jo nakhra mera Who will indulge me
ve main saare ghoom ke vekheya I have gone and seen it all
amreeka, roos, malaysia America, russia and malaysia
na kitthe vi koi fark si There wasn’t any difference anywhere
har kise di koi shart si Everyone had some conditions for me
koi mangda mera si sama Some wanted my time
koi honda surat te fida Some were fascinated by my face
koi mangda meri si wafa Some wanted my fidelity (sincerity)
na mangda koi meriyaan balaaan No one wanted my demons (ills)
tere bin hor na kise mangni meriyaan balaan No one else other than you wanted my demons (ills)
tere bin hor na kisekarni dhoop vich chhaan No one other than you will give me shade in the scorching sun
jiven rukeya si tu zara The way you had slightly paused (stopped a bit)
nahiyon balna main saari umar I cannot burn like that (inside) all my life
jiven aakheya si akhaan chura The way you had said without meeting my eye
“rovenga sanu yaad kar” You will cry when you remember me
asi hass paye haasa ajeeb I had laughed in a strange way
par tu nahi si hasseya But you had not laughed
dil vich tere jo raaz si The secret which was in your heart
mainu tu kyon nahi dasseya Why didn’t you tell it to me
tere bin saanu ahe raaz kise ho rnahiyon dasna Other than you who can tell me that secret
tere bin peed da ilaaj kis vaid kolon labna Without you which druid will find the cure for this pain of mine
mileya si aj mainu I had found today
tera ik patra A note of yours
likheya si jis ‘te tu On which you had written
sher warey (waris) shah da A couplet originally written by waris shah
parh ke si osnu hanju ik duleya After reading it a teardrop fell from my eyes
akhan ‘ch band si ai raaz ajj khulia It was revealed that it was hiding in my eyes all this while
ki tere bin ai mere hanju kise hor nahiyo choomna That no one else other than you will kiss away my tears
ki tere bin ai mere hanju mitti vich rulna That without you these teardrops of mine will only end up falling on earth and getting lost in it

 

The lyrics on first look seem so romantic. However, I read somewhere that Rabbi had written the song remembering his father which gives a whole new meaning to the song.

The song is primarily picturised on Jimmy Shergill and Neha Dhupia. One also gets a view of some sights of Delhi in the song as well! It’s a pity the industry hasn’t used his skills much. His songs have deep layers of meaning compared to some other prolific contributors of Hindi Cinema.

Song – Tere Bin Saanu Sohneya Koi Hor Nahiyon Labna (Delhi Heights) (2007) Singers – Rabbi Shergill, Lyrics – Rabbi Shergill, MD – Rabbi Shergill

Lyrics

tere bin saanu sohneya
koi hor nahiyon labna

jo deve  rooh nu sakoon
chuke jo nakhra mera
tere bin saanu sohneya
koi hor nahiyon labna

jo deve  rooh nu sakoon
chuke jo nakhra mera

ve main saare ghoom ke vekheya
amreeka, roos, malaysia
na kitthe vi koi farq si
har kise di koi shart si
koi mangda mera si sama
koi honda surat te fida
koi mangda meri si wafa
na mangda koi meriyaan balaan
tere bin hor na kise
mangni meriyaan balaan

tere bin hor na kise
karni dhoop vich chhan

tere bin saanu sohneya
koi hor nahiyon labna

jo deve  rooh nu sakoon
chuke jo nakhra mera

jiven rukeya si tu zara                                  
nahiyon balna main saari umar
jiven aakheya si ankhaan chura
“rovenga sanu yaad kar”
asi hass paye haasa ajeeb
par tu nahin si hasseya
dil vich tere jo raaz si
mainu tu kyon nahi dasseya
tere bin saanu ahe raaz
kise hor nahiyon dasna

tere bin peed da ilaaj
kis vaid kolon labna

tere bin saanu sohneya
koi hor nahiyon labna

jo deve  rooh nu sakoon
chuke jo nakhra mera

mileya si aj mainu
tera ik patra
likheya si jis ‘te

tu sher waarey (waris) shah da
parh ke si os nuh
hanju ik duleya

akhan ‘ch band si
ai raaz ajj khulia

ki tere bin ai mere hanju
kise hor nahiyo choomna

ki tere bin ai mere hanju
mitti vich rulna

tere bin saanu sohneya
koi hor nahiyon labna

jo deve  rooh nu sakoon
chuke jo nakhra mera
tere bin saanu sohneya
koi hor nahiyon labna
jo deve  rooh nu sakoon
chuke jo nakhra mera
tere bin saanu sohneya
koi hor nahiyon labna
jo deve rooh nu sakoon
chuke jo nakhra mera. . .
tere bin saanu sohneya
koi hor nahiyon labna
jo deve rooh nu sakoon
chuke jo nakhra mera

तेरे बिन सानूँ सोहणेया
कोई होर नहियों लबणा
जो देवे रुह नूँ सकून
चुके जो नख़रा मेरा
तेरे बिन सानूँ सोहणेया
कोई होर नहियों लबणा
जो देवे रुह नूँ सकून
चुके जो नख़रा मेरा

वे मैं सारे घुम के वेखेया
अमरीका, रूस, मलेशिया
न किथे वी कोई फर्क सी
हर किसे दी कोई शर्त सी
कोई मंगदा मेरा सी समा
कोई होंदा सूरत ते फिदा
कोई मंगदा मेरी सी वफ़ा
न मंगदा कोई मेरियाँ बलाँ
तेरे बिन होर न किसे
मंगनी मेरियाँ बलाँ
तेरे बिन होर ना किसे
करनी धुप विच छाँ

तेरे बिन सानूँ सोहणेया
कोई होर नहियों लबणा
जो देवे रुह नूँ सकून
चुके जो नख़रा मेरा

जिवें रुकेया सी तूं ज़रा
नहियों बलणा मैं सारी उमर
जिवें आखिया सी अंखियाँ चुरा
“रोवेंगा सानूँ याद कर”
असि हास पये हासा अजीब
पर तूं नहीं सी हसेया
दिल विच तेरे जो राज़ सी
मैंनूं तूं क्यों नहीं दसेया
तेरे बिन सानूं एह राज़
किसे होर नहियों दसणा
तेरे बिन पीड़ दा इलाज
किस वैध कोलों लबणा

तेरे बिन सानूँ सोहणेया
कोई होर नहियों लबणा
जो देवे रुह नूँ सकून
चुके जो नख़रा मेरा

मिलेया सी अज मैंनूं
तेरा इक पत्रा
लिखेया सी जिस ते तूं
शेर वारे (वारिस) शाह दा
पढ़ के सी ओसनूं
हंजू इक डुलेया
अंखांच बंद सी
ए राज़ अज खुलेया
कि तेरे बिन ए मेरे हंजू
किसे होर नहियों  चूमणा
कि तेरे बिन ए मेरे हंजू
मिट्टी विच रुलणा

तेरे बिन सानूँ सोहणेया
कोई होर नहियों लबणा
जो देवे रुह नूँ सकून
चुके जो नख़रा मेरा
तेरे बिन सानूँ सोहणेया
कोई होर नहियों लबणा
जो देवे रुह नूँ सकून
चुके जो नख़रा मेरा
तेरे बिन सानूँ सोहणेया
कोई होर नहियों लबणा
जो देवे रुह नूँ सकून
चुके जो नख़रा मेरा॰ ॰ ॰
तेरे बिन सानूँ सोहणेया
कोई होर नहियों लबणा
जो देवे रुह नूँ सकून
चुके जो नख़रा मेरा

ਤੇਰੇ ਬਿਨ ਸਾਨੂੰ ਸੋਹਣਿਆਂ ਕੋਈ ਹੋਰ ਨਹੀਓਂ ਲਭਣਾ
ਜੋ ਦੇ ਫਿਰ ਰੂਹਾਂ ਨੂੰ ਸਕੂਨ
ਚੁਕੇ ਜੋ ਨਖਰਾ ਮੇਰਾ
ਤੇਰੇ ਬਿਨ ਸਾਨੂੰ ਸੋਹਣਿਆਂ ਕੋਈ ਹੋਰ ਨਹੀਓਂ ਲਭਣਾ
ਜੋ ਦੇ ਫਿਰ ਰੂਹਾਂ ਨੂੰ ਸਕੂਨ
ਚੁਕੇ ਜੋ ਨਖਰਾ ਮੇਰਾ

ਵੇ ਮੈਂ ਸਾਰੇ ਘੁੰਮ ਕੇ ਵੇਖਿਆ
ਅਮਰੀਕਾ ਰੂਸ ਮਲੇਸ਼ਿਆ
ਨਾ ਕਿਥੇ ਵੀ ਕੋਈ ਫ਼ਰਕ ਸੀ
ਹਰ ਕਿਸੇ ਦੀ ਕੋਈ ਸ਼ਰਤ ਸੀ
ਕੋਈ ਮੰਗਦਾ ਮੇਰਾ ਸੀ ਸਮਾਂ
ਕੋਈ ਹੋਂਦਾ ਸੂਰਤ ਤੇ ਫ਼ਿਦਾ
ਕੋਈ ਮੰਗਦਾ ਮੇਰੀ ਸੀ ਵਫ਼ਾ
ਨਾ ਮੰਗਦਾ ਕੋਈ ਮੇਰੀਆਂ ਬਲਾ
ਤੇਰੇ ਬਿਨ ਹੋਰ ਨਾ ਕਿਸੇ ਮੰਗਨੀ ਮੇਰੀਆਂ ਬਲਾ
ਤੇਰੇ ਬਿਨ ਹੋਰ ਨਾ ਕਿਸੇ ਕਰਨੀ ਧੁੱਪ ਵਿੱਚ ਛਾਂ

ਤੇਰੇ ਬਿਨ ਸਾਨੂੰ ਸੋਹਣਿਆਂ ਕੋਈ ਹੋਰ ਨਹੀਓਂ ਲਭਣਾ
ਜੋ ਦੇ ਫਿਰ ਰੂਹਾਂ ਨੂੰ ਸਕੂਨ
ਚੁਕੇ ਜੋ ਨਖਰਾ ਮੇਰਾ

ਜਿਵੇਂ ਰੁਕਿਆ ਸੀ ਤੂੰ ਜ਼ਰਾ
ਨਹੀਓਂ ਬਲਣਾ ਮੈਂ ਸਾਰੀ ਉਮਰ
ਜਿਵੇਂ ਆਖਿਆ ਸੀ ਅਖਾਂ ਚੁਰਾ
“ਰੋਵੇਂਗਾਸਾਨੂੰ ਯਾਦ ਕਰ”
ਹਸਿਆ ਸੀ ਮੈਂ ਹਾਸਾ ਅਜੀਬ
ਪਰਤੂੰ ਨਹੀਂ ਸੀਹਸਿਆ
ਦਿੱਲ ਵਿੱਚ ਤੇਰੇ ਜੋ ਰਾਜ਼ ਸੀ
ਮੇਨੂੰ ਤੂੰ ਕਿਉਂ ਨਹੀਂ ਦਸਿਆ
ਤੇਰੇ ਬਿਨ ਸਾਨੂੰਇਹ ਰਾਜ਼
ਕਿਸੇ ਹੋਰ ਨਹੀਓਂ ਦਸਣਾ
ਤੇਰੇ ਬਿਨ ਪੀੜ ਦਾ ਇਲਾਜ ਕਿਸਵੈਦ ਕੋਲੋਂ ਲਭਣਾ

ਤੇਰੇ ਬਿਨ ਸਾਨੂੰ ਸੋਹਣਿਆਂ ਕੋਈ ਹੋਰ ਨਹੀਓਂ ਲਭਣਾ
ਜੋ ਦੇ ਫਿਰ ਰੂਹਾਂ ਨੂੰ ਸਕੂਨ
ਚੁਕੇ ਜੋ ਨਖਰਾ ਮੇਰਾ

ਮਿਲਿਆ ਸੀਅੱਜ ਮੇਨੂੰ
ਤੇਰਾਇਕ ਪੱਤਰਾ ਲਿਖਿਆ ਸੀ ਜਿਸ ਤੇ
ਤੂੰ ਸ਼ੈਅਰ ਵਾਰੇ (ਵਾਰਿਸ) ਸ਼ਾਹ ਦਾ
ਪੜ ਕੇ ਸੀ ਉਸਨੂੰਹੰਝੂ ਇਕ ਡੂਲਿਆ
ਅੱਖਾਂ ਚ ਬੰਦ ਸੀ ਇਹ ਰਾਜ਼ ਅੱਜ ਖੁਲਿਆ
ਕਿ ਤੇਰੇ ਬਿਨ ਇਹ ਮੇਰੇ ਹੰਝੂ ਕਿਸੇ ਹੋਰ ਨਹੀਓਂ ਚੁਮਣਾ
ਕਿ ਤੇਰੇ ਬਿਨ ਇਹ ਮੇਰੇ ਹੰਝੂ ਮਿੱਟੀਵਿੱਚ ਰੁਲਣਾ

ਤੇਰੇ ਬਿਨ ਸਾਨੂੰ ਸੋਹਣਿਆਂ ਕੋਈ ਹੋਰ ਨਹੀਓਂ ਲਭਣਾ
ਜੋ ਦੇ ਫਿਰ ਰੂਹਾਂ ਨੂੰ ਸਕੂਨ
ਚੁਕੇ ਜੋ ਨਖਰਾ ਮੇਰਾ
ਤੇਰੇ ਬਿਨ ਸਾਨੂੰ ਸੋਹਣਿਆਂ ਕੋਈ ਹੋਰ ਨਹੀਓਂ ਲਭਣਾ
ਜੋ ਦੇ ਫਿਰ ਰੂਹਾਂ ਨੂੰ ਸਕੂਨ
ਚੁਕੇ ਜੋ ਨਖਰਾ ਮੇਰਾ
ਤੇਰੇ ਬਿਨ ਸਾਨੂੰ ਸੋਹਣਿਆਂ ਕੋਈ ਹੋਰ ਨਹੀਓਂ ਲਭਣਾ
ਜੋ ਦੇ ਫਿਰ ਰੂਹਾਂ ਨੂੰ ਸਕੂਨ
ਚੁਕੇ ਜੋ ਨਖਰਾ ਮੇਰਾ
ਤੇਰੇ ਬਿਨ ਸਾਨੂੰ ਸੋਹਣਿਆਂ ਕੋਈ ਹੋਰ ਨਹੀਓਂ ਲਭਣਾ
ਜੋ ਦੇ ਫਿਰ ਰੂਹਾਂ ਨੂੰ ਸਕੂਨ
ਚੁਕੇ ਜੋ ਨਖਰਾ ਮੇਰਾ
ਤੇਰੇ ਬਿਨ ਸਾਨੂੰ ਸੋਹਣਿਆਂ ਕੋਈ ਹੋਰ ਨਹੀਓਂ ਲਭਣਾ
ਜੋ ਦੇ ਫਿਰ ਰੂਹਾਂ ਨੂੰ ਸਕੂਨ
ਚੁਕੇ ਜੋ ਨਖਰਾ ਮੇਰਾ
