Ho Achhe Ghar Ka Par Achha Koni Ladka MainI’m from a good home, but I’m not a good boy
Re Main Milna Ni Chhod De Tu Bartan NeHey, stop trying to meet me, just go back to your ‘bartan’
Maare Suitan Ka Riwaaz Tu Skirt-an MeinOur tradition’s ‘suits’, while you’re in skirts
Yeh Aave Na Pasand Mere Ghar Kya NeMy family won’t like this one bit
Bulaave Coffee Pe Tu Yaadein Beat Kodi Hori SeYou invite me for coffee, but the memories and beats are turning bitter
Saali Chhagti Na Pehlan Hori SeIt didn’t use to feel like this before,
Yaadein Laala Kene Sue Flaunt Ghaat Karein KayiSome people are flaunting less, bringing back old memories
Bina Pre Liye Paatne Ne Body Hori SeEven without a pre-workout, my body’s ready to explode
Ghani Tantrik Na Bane Mat Na Laugh KarDon’t act like a ‘tantrik’, and stop your laughing
Tere Paitrey Pe Thook Diya Saaf KarI’ve spat on your tricks, now go and clean ’em up
Main Corona Te Bhi Bheda Jaayega Taap ChadhI’m worse than Corona, you’ll catch a burning fever
Konya Kaabu Mein Rahun Jab Jaayega Aab ChadhI won’t stay controlled once the ‘aab’ rises high
Ho Kadhe Na Dimaag Te Woh Khayal De JaungaI’ll leave you with a thought that’ll never leave your head
Gori Choomti Phiregi Jo Rumaal De JaungaBeautiful, you’ll keep kissing the ‘rumaal’ I leave behind
Teen Mahine Ghata Kar Ek Saal De JaungaI’ll take away three months and give you a whole year
Tanne Jo Bhi Kuchh De Jaunga Kamaal De JaungaWhatever I give you, I’ll make sure it’s amazing
Mere Aave Na Close Tu Koi Mudda Dekh LegiDon’t get close to me, you’ll only find trouble
Tangya Belt Pe Yo Kaala-kaala Gudda Dekh LegiYou’ll see this black ‘gudda’ hanging from my belt
Galya Silver Mein Ek Baje Dudda Dekh LegiYou’ll hear the ‘dudda’ ringing in the silver
Insomnia Ho Jaaga Je ‘Hooda’ Dekh LegiYou’ll get insomnia if you lay eyes on ‘Hooda’
Mere Jaal Mein Na Phase Tadpegi MachhliDon’t get caught in my net, or you’ll writhe like a fish
Akhrotaan Ne Na Chhed Re Ja Kaju KatliDon’t mess with the walnuts, you little ‘kaju katli’
Long Drive Ne Bhool Ja Gaadi Chale RoughlyForget about long drives, my car runs rough
Kayi Thak Li Par Hath Aaya Ni Main NasliMany got tired, but they couldn’t catch me, I’m purebred
Sambhalya Samay Pe Ni Honda Kadhe Daur Banne TheThose who didn’t act in time never saw their era begin
Bina Crease Pe Khade Re Kadhe Score Banne TheCan you ever score without standing at the ‘crease’?
Kaamyab Koni Honda Kayi Shor Karein TheMany made a lot of noise but didn’t succeed
Aapa Negative Bandyan Ne Ignore Karein TheI’ve always ignored all the negative people
Hove Unity Mein Power Rakhe Team Baandh KeThere’s power in unity, keep the team together
Mere Pen Pe Main Rakhun Gori Neem Baandh KeBeautiful, I keep a ‘neem’ tied to my pen
Cuddles Spoon Aala Kar Gelya Soche Son KiYou’re thinking of cuddling and falling asleep
Tu Mere Supne Le Gher Re Meri Neend Baandh KeYou’ve surrounded my dreams and locked away my sleep
Chronology Culture Ne Past Kar DyunI’ll make this ‘chronology’ culture a thing of the past
Re Main Sochun International Koi B#st Kar DyunI’m thinking of busting something international
Matlab ‘Jennifer’ Ne Gaane Ke Mein Cast Kar DyunMeaning, I might cast a ‘Jennifer’ in my song
Ride ‘Moose’ Di Dhaal Sochun Ek Last Kar DyunThinking of one last ride, just like ‘Moose’
Escobar Mere Gaanon Ka CartelEscobar is the cartel of my songs
Meri Chappalein Mera CharterMy ‘chappalein’ are my charter plane
No Entry Door Te KaabarNo entry, stay away from the ‘kaabar’
Bhaichare Aale Sa TabarWe’re a clan built on brotherhood
Ayurvedic Likhun Main DaburI write pure ‘Ayurvedic’ like Dabur’s brand
Triple H Sukha Mein BaadalLike Triple H, I’m the clouds in a drought
Naam Mein Azam Nahi Par Main BabarAzam’s not in my name, but I’m king Babur
Main Peer Ni Chadhein Par ChaadarI’m no saint, yet they offer me ‘tributes’
Laal Rang Pasand Main KhaghadI love the color red, I’m a wild bull
Chalo Karo Pranam SaadarCome on, greet me with pure respect
Church Na Jaun But Call Me FatherI don’t go to church, but call me ‘father’
Super Strong Challenges LaagreinSuper strong challenges are stacking up
Jaat Regiment Karo OrderJust give the order to the Jat Regiment
Chhota Na Ek Bhi BorderI haven’t left a single border behind
Chhota Na Gram Bhi P#wderI haven’t left a single gram of ‘powder’
Punjab Haryana SoberPunjab and Haryana are staying sober
Shri Ram Ke Laagan De NaareLet the chants of Lord Ram echo out
Gelya Khade Sain Anjani PyaareStanding beside me is the beloved son of Anjani
Hum Club Ni Kholange AkhaadeWe won’t open clubs, we’ll open ‘wrestling pits’
Anti-nations Ko Deynge BhaadeWe’ll give the anti-nationals what’s coming to ’em
Hun Tan Ladda Jo Humne LaddareI’m fighting those who are making us fight
Fav 29 Bhai HamareMy favorite 29 brothers are with me
Hum Noni Ni Tikke MaareWe aren’t weak, we always hit the mark
Kadhe Pher Milange DobaareWe’ll surely meet again sometime
Mehfil Mitran Ki Sajja ChaubaareThe friends’ gathering is set on the terrace
Yaari Mein Yaad Ni Aande PahaadeIn friendship, we don’t count the math
Baalak Mehnati Baazu ChadhareHardworking boys are rolling up their sleeves
Respect Paisa Yeh Dono KamaareThey’re earning both respect and money
Sar Pe Baap Ka Hath Koi Worry NiFather’s hand is on my head, so I’ve no worries
Maa Bure Halataan Te Dari NiMother wasn’t scared of the tough times
Meri Ardhangini Si Koi Pari NiThere’s no fairy like my better half
Chhote Bhai Ke Bina To Ghar Hi NiA home isn’t a home without my younger brother
Life Roll Karan Laagra Su OG-an MeinI’m rolling through life among the OGs
Pher Bhi Karun Lit Gold Flake Chhotiyan NeBut I still light up those small Gold Flakes
Sim Aaj Bhi Meri Se Galli Nokia MeinMy SIM card’s still in an old Nokia phone
Ram Ramipuri Thaane Aur Chokiyan MeinGreetings echo in the stations and police posts
Vajan Badhya-badhya Laage Saala Gojiyan MeinThe weight’s getting heavy in my damn pockets
‘Rawme Hooda’ Visha Main Aajkal Gopiyan Mein‘Rawme Hooda’ is the talk among the girls
Konya Power Aur Awardaan Ka Shaukiya MainI’m not fond of power or chasing awards
Poora Maanas Jitya Karun Ke Trophy-an MeinI win the whole person, what’s a trophy worth?
Ji Laagda Ni Fakkdan Ka Kothiyaan MeinFree-spirits don’t feel at home in mansions
Dheemi Aanch Coffee P#ppy Uble Topiyan MeinCoffee simmers on low heat, ‘poppy’ boils in pots
Gaanth Kardhi Bandhi Hoyi Se Langotiyan MeinA tight knot is tied in the ‘loincloths’
Melt Hove Konya Jaat Dhoonge Chotiyaan MeinJats don’t melt for swaying hips or braids
