Liberation’s Khush Bandeya Nu Punjabi Lyrics English Translation
Satinder Sartaaj notes that people achieve dreams but still complain about fate. He observes that success does not automatically bring gratitude.
Khush Bandeyan Nu Haale Tu Taan Mileya Hi NaiYou haven’t even met the truly happy people yet,
Jehde Mile Ne Vichaare Bas Kamyaab NeThe ones you’ve met, poor souls, are merely successful.
Aa Zaruratan Taan Chaddo Hoge Supne Vi PooreForget their needs, even their dreams have been fulfilled,
Taanvi Aakhde Rehnde Ke Lekh Hi Kharaab NeYet they keep saying that their fate is terrible.
Oye Khush Bandeyan Nu Haale Tu Taan Mileya Hi NaiOh, you haven’t even met the truly happy people yet,
Jehde Mile Ne Vichaare Bas Kamyaab NeThe ones you’ve met, poor souls, are merely successful.
Jadon Sikh Leya Har Pal Mannana Odon HiThe moment you learn to accept every moment,
Nikke Motte Dukhan Nu Vi Aaju Taalna Odon HiThat’s when you’ll learn to handle life’s little sorrows.
Jadon Aap Laake Zor Kita Chaanana Odon HiThe moment you make an effort to bring your own light,
Pata Laggu Saade Layi Jo Kita Aaftaab NeYou’ll realize what the sun has done for us all along.
Oye Khush Bandeyan Nu Haale Tu Taan Mileya Hi NaiOh, you haven’t even met the truly happy people yet,
Jehde Mile Ne Vichaare Bas Kamyaab NeThe ones you’ve met, poor souls, are merely successful.
Haale Zindagi Ne Kaafi Saare Sabak SikhauneLife still has quite a few lessons to teach,
Haale Chabbiyan Gavauniyan Te Taale ChamkauneYou still have to lose some keys and make other locks shine.
Pher Pichliyan Baariyan Chon Daakhle KarauneThen you’ll have to find entry through the back windows,
Eho Saare Hi Tamaashe Bade Laajawaab NeAll of these spectacles are truly wonderful.
Oye Khush Bandeyan Nu Haale Tu Taan Mileya Hi NaiOh, you haven’t even met the truly happy people yet,
Jehde Mile Ne Vichaare Bas Kamyaab NeThe ones you’ve met, poor souls, are merely successful.
Jo Vi Houga Ji Houga Hairaan Hon WalaWhatever happens, sir, will be astonishing,
Hoya Der Na Taan Thoda Pareshaan Hon WalaIf it’s delayed, it might be a little frustrating.
Takdeeran Naal Jung Ghamsaan Hon WalaThere’s a fierce battle to be fought with destiny,
Aise Aalam Vi Agge Bade Behisaab NeCountless moments like these still lie ahead.
Oye Khush Bandeyan Nu Haale Tu Taan Mileya Hi NaiOh, you haven’t even met the truly happy people yet,
Jehde Mile Ne Vichaare Bas Kamyaab NeThe ones you’ve met, poor souls, are merely successful.
Aise Masle Taan Poore Kehnde Chhaap Vi Nai HundeThey say some issues can’t even be fully expressed,
Jadon Pata Lagg Jaanda Odon Paap Vi Nai HundeAnd once you understand, they no longer feel like sins.
Jehde Kamm Rabb Kolon Kehnde Aap Vi Ni HundeThe tasks they say even God Himself can’t do,
Ohi Karne Hunde Ne Bansuri-Rabaab NeAre the very ones meant for the ‘flute’ and ‘rebec’ to perform.
Oye Khush Bandeyan Nu Haale Tu Taan Mileya Hi NaiOh, you haven’t even met the truly happy people yet,
Jehde Mile Ne Vichaare Bas Kamyaab NeThe ones you’ve met, poor souls, are merely successful.
Kite Bediyan Puchavo Kite Pull BanvayiyeSometimes we should ask the boats, other times we should build bridges,
Kite Chhaavan Bijiye Te Kite Nigg VartayiyeSometimes we should plant seeds of shade, other times we should spread warmth.
Sartaaj Seyan Oh Sartaaj SeyaOh Sartaaj, wise Sartaaj,
Geet Saanjh Paun Wala GaaiyeLet’s sing a song that builds connections.
Oye Sukoon Den Waale Ehi Taan Sawaab NeOh, these are the virtuous deeds that bring true peace.
Oye Khush Bandeyan Nu Haale Tu Taan Mileya Hi NaiOh, you haven’t even met the truly happy people yet,
Jehde Mile Ne Vichaare Bas Kamyaab NeThe ones you’ve met, poor souls, are merely successful.
Aa Zaruratan Taan Chaddo Hoge Supne Vi PooreForget their needs, even their dreams have been fulfilled,
Taanvi Aakhde Rehnde Ke Lekh Hi Kharaab NeYet they keep saying that their fate is terrible.
Khush Bandeyan Nu Haale Tu TaanThe truly happy people, well, you haven’t…
