Kaka • From “Another Side”
Aukaat Lyrics Translation Kaka | Another Side
Kaka contrasts society’s praise for rising individuals with abandonment of those who fall. His observation ‘Everyone wants to win you, but nobody actually wants you’ frames affection as commerce.
Ki Aukaat Hai Kake Di Andaze Laundi AaShe’s trying to guess this guy’s status,
Dhool Mitti Naal Libde Mere Pair Dekh Ke Jiseeing my feet all covered in dust and dirt.
Main Aaya Si Nehde Ton Ohda Chehra Dekhan NuI had come closer just to see her face,
Phir Mud Challeya Gaur Naal Ohda Shehar Dekh Ke Jibut I turned back after taking a hard look at her world.
Eh Jazbaat Ohna Chir Thoddi Maari Rakhan GeThese feelings will keep you suppressed,
Ehna Nu Jinna Chir Dil Vich Maar Nahi Laindeas long as you don’t kill them inside your own heart.
Chadhde Nu Taan Nitt Salama Kardi Ae DuniyaThe world salutes the rising sun every day,
Girde Painde Di Aitthe Koyi Saar Nai Laindebut no one here cares for the one who’s falling down.
Roz Rupaiye Wangu Dollar Agge Gir JandiEvery day, it falls before the dollar just like the rupee.
Chaplusiyan Na Kahiye Taan Das Fir Ki KahiyeIf we don’t call this sycophancy, then what should we call it?
Roz Rupaiye Wangu Dollar Agge Gir JandiEvery day, it falls before the dollar just like the rupee.
Chaplusiyan Na Kahiye Taan Das Fir Ki KahiyeIf we don’t call this sycophancy, then what should we call it?
Tareef Teri Vich Khabar Aa Sariyan Jhoothiyan Likhda AeHe prints nothing but fake news in your praise,
Aisse Karke Appa Koyi Akhbaar Nai Laindeand that’s the reason I don’t get any newspaper.
Halle Maine Chitte Khaki Rang Ton Bachke Chal RahaeFor now, I’m steering clear of the white and khaki colors.
Chitte Khaki Rang Ton Halle Bachke Chal RahaeFor now, I’m steering clear of the white and khaki colors.
Bande Banda Kha Jandae Dakaar Nai LaindePeople will devour each other without even burping.
Bande Banda Nigal Jandae Dakaar Nai LaindePeople will swallow each other whole and not even burp.
Tainu Lagda Main Anjaan Haan Tere Kamman TonYou think I’m unaware of what you’re doing,
Nazar Meri Kitte Hor Mera Par Dhyaan Tere Te Aebut while my gaze is elsewhere, my attention is fixed on you.
Tainu Lagda Main Anjaan Haan Tere Kamman TonYou think I’m unaware of what you’re doing,
Nazar Meri Kitte Hor Mera Par Dhyaan Tere Te Aebut while my gaze is elsewhere, my attention is fixed on you.
Tu Bikaau Ho Gayi Teri Boli Lagdi AeYou’ve become a commodity, and bids are being placed on you.
Tu Bikaau Ho Gayi Teri Boli Lagdi AeYou’ve become a commodity, and bids are being placed on you.
Bazaar Tere Vich Tere Lokk Udhaar Nai LaindeIn your own market, your people don’t even buy on credit.
Teri Rotation Waqt Di Taraf Chaldi Rehndi AeYou just keep turning in the direction of the times.
Oh Tere Layi Sab Karde Ne Tainu Pyaar Nai DendeThey do everything for you, but they don’t give you love.
Tere Naalon Na-insafi Rahi Shuru Ton HiThere’s been injustice towards you from the very start.
Tainu Jitna Saare Chaunde NeEveryone wants to win you,
Tainu Chaunda Koyi Vi Naibut nobody actually wants you.
Tere Naalon Na-insafi Rahi Shuru Ton HiThere’s been injustice towards you from the very start.
Tainu Jitna Saare Chaunde NeEveryone wants to win you,
Tainu Chaunda Koyi Vi Naibut nobody actually wants you.
Tainu Lodd Mohabbat Di Ae Aashiq Labh KoyiYou’re in need of love, so go find yourself a lover.
Tainu Lodd Mohabbat Di Ae Aashiq Labh KoyiYou’re in need of love, so go find yourself a lover.
Pyaar De Badle Pyaar Nu Taan Vypaar Nai KendeExchanging love for love isn’t called a business transaction.
Mufat Ch Kujh Vi Nai Milda Har Cheez Di Keemat HaiNothing comes for free; everything has its price.
Mufat Ch Kujh Vi Nai Milda Har Cheez Di Keemat HaiNothing comes for free; everything has its price.
Karza Vad’da Janda Je Utaar Nai LendeThe debt just keeps growing if you don’t start paying it off.
