Munda Southall Da’s Koshish Punjabi Lyrics English Meaning
Harmanjeet structures the song around repeated failed attempts to escape recollection. Prem Dhillon describes seeing traces of a past relationship in strangers and nature, despite actively pursuing new routines and aspirations.
Nazar Jad Vi Aundi Koyi Bholi Jehi SooratWhenever I see an innocent face,
Nazar Jad Vi Aundi Koyi Bholi Jehi SooratWhenever I see an innocent face,
Tu Phir Aake Yaadan Ch Tik Janni Aeyou come and settle in my memories again.
Main Koshish Taan Karda Ke Miliye Na AppanI really try for us not to meet,
Kise Na Kise Chon Tu Diss Janni Aebut I see glimpses of you in one person or another.
Main Koshish Taan Karda Ke Miliye Na AppanI really try for us not to meet,
Kise Na Kise Chon Tu Diss Janni Aebut I see glimpses of you in one person or another.
Main Chhadta Kadon Da Haye Rona RuvaunaI’ve long since given up on all that crying.
Main Khud Nu Ni Ajjkal Haye Hasna SikhaundaThese days, I don’t even try to teach myself how to laugh.
Thoda Bohat Likhda Kitaban Vi PadhdaI write a little and read some books.
Main Naeiyan Hawawan Ch Udna Haan ChaundaI want to fly in these new winds.
Kade Bhull Bhulekhe Je Pichhe Nu Tak LaanIf I ever happen to look back by mistake,
Tu Danda Ch Chunni Nu Chith Jaani AeI see you biting your scarf between your teeth.
Main Koshish Taan Karda Ke Miliye Na AppanI really try for us not to meet,
Kise Na Kise Chon Tu Diss Janni Aebut I see glimpses of you in one person or another.
Ho Mohabbat Badi Hi Rahasyamayi Jehi Cheez AeLove is such a mysterious thing.
Yeh Duniyan De Saanche Ch Fit Ni Ho SakdiIt can’t fit into the molds of this world.
Par Eh Vi Te Sach Hai Ke Ishqe Di DaulatBut it’s also true that the wealth of love,
Nu Khalkat Je Chahve Taan Vi Kho Ni Sakdieven if ‘the world’ wants to, it can’t steal it away.
Main Socheya Si Hunn Tayin Ke Tu Ek Nadi AeI’ve thought until now that you’re like a river,
Te Khaure Tu Kehde Samundar Ch Dull Gayiand who knows which ocean you’ve spilled into.
Ohdon Taan Tu Mainu Kitton Nai Si LabhdiBack then, I couldn’t find you anywhere,
Ke Hunn Mainu Lagdae Tu Kudrat Ch Ghul Gayibut now it feels like you’ve dissolved into nature.
Tu Ban Ke Baraula Ja Ambran Te ChadhdiYou rise to the skies like a ‘whirlwind’,
Te Rukhan Ch Aake Tu Liff Jaani Aeand then you bend down through the trees.
Main Koshish Taan Karda Ke Miliye Na AappanI really try for us not to meet,
Kise Na Kise Chon Tu Diss Janni Aebut I see glimpses of you in one person or another.
Main Koshish Taan Karda Ke Miliye Na AappanI really try for us not to meet,
Kise Na Kise Chon Tu Diss Janni Aebut I see glimpses of you in one person or another.

The involuntary nature of memory defines the Koshish lyrics meaning. Harmanjeet’s words show how deeply embedded connections resurface regardless of conscious effort to suppress them.
