Motiyan waliyo

[muqawwee123]

What is the meaning of this Punjabi phrase ‘moti waliya’… not ‘moti’ as fat , but moti as in jewel.

Heard this in Ashfaq Ahmed’s play dealing with Sufi / mazar/ Khanqah set up, normally uttered by a Faqeer (Allah lok banda).

Also heard in intro of this song from Indian movie ‘Border’.

but that is not applicable in the context of Border movie’s song: maahi maahi motiyan wala, mera sohna dachiyan wala… Its folklore which is referring to some traits in people

so ‘Motiyan wala’ is someone jis ke liye Ahmed Faraz ne kaha:

Suna hai bole to baton se phool jharrtay hain
Ye baat hai to chalo baat kar ke dekhte hain

Maahi aawe ga main phullan naal dharti sajawan gi

Jab maahi khud hi motiya wala ho, to phoolon pe kharch karne ki kia zaroorat?

“Daachi waalea moR muhaar ve.”

“Mere sajna di Daachi, badaami rung di.”
