Chaddi Madak Na Jandi NiThis pride can’t be cast aside;
Pichhe Rehna Aa Taan Rehi Jaanif things get left behind, let them stay.

Jihnu Duniya Teesi KehndiWhere the rest of the world sees a summit,
Uthe Saade Dere Aa Nithat’s exactly where our camps are.

Pehlan Naalon Vadh Gayi GintiThe count has increased since before,
Lagde Ne Jo Tere Teof the eyes watching over you.
Farshan Te Si Arshan Te AanWe were on the floor, now we’re in the clouds;
Sabh Maalik De Bhaane Aan Niit’s all by the Almighty’s will.
Ikk Chandigarh Dooja CheemaOne is Chandigarh, the other is Cheema;
Do Hi Bas Tikaaniyan Nithose are my only two home bases.
Aala Daala Dekhe NaHe doesn’t look to his left or right,
Bin Gallon Tutt Ke Pai Jehe just pounces without any reason.

Jitthe Jach Ke Kera Beh Jewherever he sits down with style.
Sacchi Mela Lag JaandaA massive crowd truly gathers,
Jitthe Jach Ke Kera Beh Jewherever he sits down with style.
