Yah I heard there was a lot of controversy over the lyrics of “nach punjaban” in Punjab.
So he had to change the lyrics to “nach majajan nach” .. etc.

I got my CD from a UK release, so it has the original lyrics
I just saw him in concert in NYC- HE WAS GREAT! I knew him because of the famous Billo song, and my mom loves his music. But I had soo much fun, and hes great in concert. BTW, he sang nach punjabun with the regular lyrics...
he is not just a great singer ... he is a descent person ...!! oh no i am not gonna say i know him personally but when you go to a multi singer concert ... he just stands out from the rest ... talks very eloquently. Do you know he was teaching in Atchison ...(english not punjabi) when "Billo" was released and the poor chap was sacked ...." either you can go sing that rubbish or you can teach here " ...!!
Well I think he did punjabi music proud!!
my favourites from teh new albums would be nach punjaban... and mall-o-mall!!!

Make him president of punjab, but please stop forcing him down all of Pakistan. I can take only so many bhangra songs on ptv. Start your own punjab tv and show him on their 24/7. I won't mind.
