ik kurhi
jihda naam mohabbat
saad muradi
sohni fabbat
gumm hai gumm hai
gumm hai
gumm hai
gumm hai

surat osdi
parian vargi
seerat di o
Mariam lagdi
hasdi hai tan
phul ne jhardhey
turdi hay tan
ghazal hai lagdi
lamm salami
saru kadd di

umar ajey hai mar ke agdi
par naina di
gal samajhdi

gummian janam janam
han hoye
lagda iyon jyon kal
di gal hai
iyon lagdai jion ajj di gal hai
iyon lagdai jion hun
di gal hai
hune taan mere kol kharhi si
hune tan mere kol nahi hai
ai keha chhal kehi bhatkan
soch meri hairaan barri hai
os kurhi nu tol rahi hai

oss kurhi nu meri saunh hai
os kurhi nu apni saunh hai
os kurhi nu sab di saunh hai
os kurhi nu rab di saunh hai

jey kittey parhdi sunhdi hove
jeyundi jan o mar rahi hovey
ik vari aa ke mil javey
vafa meri nu daag na laavey

nahi tan maithon
jia na janda
geet koi likhia na janda
nahi tan maithon jia
na janda
geet koi likhia na janda
nahi tan maithon
jia na janda

A girl
whose name is love
simple, dainty
a lovely sight
she is lost
lost
lost
she is lost

Her face
A fairy’s likeness,
temper
a picture of Mary
when she laughts
the petals fall
when she walks
a melody plays
her graceful height
like a wicker tree

her years are still of nascence
but the language of eyes
she comprehends

she is lost from many
births ago
though it seems as affair of
yesterday
why, it seems an affair of today
why, it seems this
moments affair
just now she stood by my side
and now she has vanished
what trick what chase is this
my senses, they’re mystified
searching for that girl

I call out to that girl in my name
I call out to that girl on her name
I call out to that girl in the name of all
I call out to her in the name of god

if she reads or hears this
if she be alive or dying
come and meet me once
do not sully my devotion

lest I can’t live
nor write a word
lest I can’t live
nor write a word
lest I can’t live

Re: Ishtihaar - Rabbi Shergill

is he the same person who sang Bullah and Teray Bin. If yes, then I 'd suggest that you listen to teray bin if you haven't heard that as yet. Thats an awesome song by him.

Teray Bin sanu sonya koi hor nayo labda
Jo deway ruhaan noon sukkon, chukay jo nakhra mera

Re: Ishtihaar - Rabbi Shergill

^ when I grow up, I want to sing just like him. Amazing song.

Tere bin

tere bin / besides you
sanu sohnia / my love
koi hor nahio labhna / i shan't find another
jo dave / who'll give
ruh nu sakun / peace to my soul
chukke jo nakhra mera / and indulge me
ve main sare ghumm ke vekhia / i have gone and seen it all
amrika , roos, malaysia / america, russia, malaysiana
kittey vi koi fark si / there wasn't any difference
har kise di koi shart si / they all had some condition
koi mangda mera si sama / some asked for my time
koi hunda surat te fida / some were fascinated with my face
koi mangda meri si vafa / some demanded my fidelity
na koi mangda merian bala / none wanted my demons
tere bin / besides you
hor na kise / no one else
mangni merian bala / wanted my demons
tere bin / besides you
hor na kise / no one else
karni dhup vich chhan / shall shade me in the sun
jiven rukia / (the) way you paused
si tun zara / slightly
nahion bhulna / i shan't forget
main sari umar / all my life
jiven akhia si akhan chura / you said, looking away
"rovenga sanu yad kar" / "you shall weep in my memory"
hasia si main hasa ajeeb / i laughed a strange laugh
(par) tu nahi si hasia / but you didn't
dil vich tera jo raaz si / you had a secret in your heart
mainu tu kyon ni dasia / why didn't you tell me
tere bin / besides you
sanu eh raz / none shall tell this
kise hor nahion dasna / secret to me
tere bin / besides you
peerh da ilaaj / what druid
kis vaid kolon labhna / has the cure to my ills
milia si ajj mainu / i found today
tera ik patra / a note of yours
likhia si jis 'te / on which you had scribbeled
tun shayr varey shah da / a varis shah couplet
park ke si osnu / upon reading which
hanjnu ik duliya / a teardrop fell
akhan 'ch band si / what was locked in the eye
seh raaz ajj khulia / was revealed today
ki tere bin / that other than you
eh mere hanjnu / these tears of mine
kise hor / won't be kissed by
nahio chumna / none else
ki tere bin / that other than you
eh mere hanjhu / these tears of mine
mitti vich rulnha / will wither in the dust

Re: Ishtihaar - Rabbi Shergill

Yea, I can't seem to get this song out of my system.

Re: Ishtihaar - Rabbi Shergill

I love tere bin as well. He has beautiful songs in this album.

Totia Manmotia

Listen! O parrot pearl of my heart
Do not enter that street
The evil jats there
Will trap and slay you

Daylight has vanished from that place
And the evil night descended
Everyone's righteous
And everyone's sold off their sisters

Do not go there
Do not go there

Listen my parrotess! Pearl of my heart
Don't call out from behind
I leave for my country
I leave for my land

The foe has overrun my nest
Cast me out from my land
Without grain and water I can live
Without honour I shall die

My love! I have to go there
I have to go there

Parrotess says to the wounded parrot
Why don't you listen to me
Why did you fly into the enemy
Why did you come here to die

Parrot says - my little one!
Look after it well
Tell him all that transpired
He shall settle my revenge

Parrotess says, First I lose my love
And now I must stake my son
What have you wtitten in
mother's destiny
Over here my lord

I want to run away from here
I want to go away from here
I want to fly from here
I, where do I go from here
