Dastaar Meaning & Lyrics (Varinder Brar)
Rav Dhaliwal references warriors who chose dismemberment over abandoning faith. The lyrics state that the turban represents honor earned through martyrdom, not material wealth.
Soora Sau Pehchani Ae Jo Larhe Deen Ke HetA true hero is known as one who fights for their faith.
Purja Purja Kat Mare Kabhu Chhade KhetaThey’d rather be cut into pieces than abandon the battlefield.
Ik Sache Sardar Di Pachhan DastarThe identity of a true ‘Sardar’ is the ‘dastaar’.
Sanu Guran Wallon Mileya E Maan DastarThis honorable ‘dastaar’ was given to us by the Gurus.
Sir La Deyange Kera Eh Laan DastarWe’d give our heads before letting this ‘dastaar’ be stained.
Ik Sache Sardar Di Pachhan DastarThe identity of a true ‘Sardar’ is the ‘dastaar’.
Eh Mili Sanu Dekh Ke Shahidi DastarWe received this ‘dastaar’ by witnessing martyrdom.
Asi Dil Di Ameeri Na Kareedi DastarWe didn’t acquire this ‘dastaar’ through mere spiritual richness.
Kala Kapada Ni Sarda Taj DastarIt’s not just black cloth, it’s the crown, the ‘dastaar’.
Mare Jigre Jameer Nu Awaz DastarThe ‘dastaar’ calls out to our courageous conscience.
Har Larh Vich Sambhdi Bebaaqi DastarIn every fold, the ‘dastaar’ holds fearlessness.

Hai Dastar Di Hond Lai Kinne Sehle SakeFor the existence of the ‘dastaar’, how many endured suffering?
Dharh Laha Laye Guruan Te Band Band KatayeThe Gurus had their bodies separated and their limbs cut piece by piece.
Kujh Banda Singh Bahadar Jaye Bande Si AyeMany brave individuals like ‘Banda Singh Bahadur’ came.
