THINK TWICE (BACH KE HAANIAH) Lyrics Translation (from “ART OF PANJAB”)
JK describes dangerous allure in the verses. He sings, ‘My eyes are like a black cobra’s strike’. The lyrics use this serpent image to command caution.
Sulfe di laat meri akh oyeMy eyes burn like the flame of a potent high, hey
Oh rahee bach ke haaniyanSo you’d better stay cautious, my love
Sulfe di laat meri akh oyeMy gaze is as fierce as a burning intoxicant
Oh rahee bach ke haaniyanKeep your distance, my friend
Ho naagni black meri akh oyeMy eyes are like a black cobra’s strike, hey
Oh rahee bach ke haaniyanYou should stay on your guard
Ho naagni black meri akh oyeMy gaze carries the venom of a dark serpent
Oh rahee bach ke haaniyanDon’t let yourself get too close
Bach ke haaniyanStay wary, my love
Bach ke haaniyanWatch out for yourself
Like thisJust like this
Bach ke haaniyanKeep your wits about you
Ho akhaan meriyan sooraj naal kheddiyanThese eyes of mine play with the sun itself
Ho mainu puchh ke hawaavan deshan laindiyanThe winds only choose their direction after asking me
Ho akhaan meriyan sooraj naalMy eyes challenge the morning light,
Mainu puchh ke hawaavan deshan laindiyanand the breezes follow my command
Ho kashmir da jo sheharLike the breathtaking beauty of a Kashmiri city,
Roop kar dinda keharmy looks unleash a storm of desire
Mainu paundi vekh badlaan nu nath oyeEven the clouds are tamed when they see me, hey
Oh rahee bach ke haaniyanSo stay cautious, my friend
Sulfe di laat meri akh oyeMy gaze burns like the flame of a drug
Oh rahee bach ke haaniyanYou’d better keep your distance
Sulfe di laat meri akh oyeThe fire in my eyes is addictive
Oh rahee bach ke haaniyanStay away for your own sake
Ho naagni black meri akh oyeMy eyes are like the bite of a black cobra
Oh rahee bach ke haaniyanBe careful, my love
Bach ke haaniyanWatch your step
Bach ke haaniyanStay alert

Tell me you don’t mindTell me it doesn’t bother you
And you feel it tooBecause I know you’re feeling it too

Ho harh charheya kandhe nu jivein khar daLike a flood that rises and breaks through the riverbanks,
Ome lak da hulaara mutiyaar dathat’s how this girl’s waist sways with every step
Ho harh charheya kandhe nu jiveinJust like a surging tide,
Ome lak da hulaara mutiyaar damy rhythm is impossible to ignore
Oh jidhe laut na si aundeFrom where no man ever returned,
Jithe bottlan mukaundewhere they’d drown their sorrows in empty bottles,
Neeli akh ch ohna ara bath oyethey’ve all found their rest within these blue eyes
Oh rahee bach ke haaniyanSo you’d better watch out, my love

Oh rahee bach ke haaniyandon’t let it catch you off guard
Bach ke haaniyanKeep your guard up
Bach ke haaniyanBe very careful
Bach ke haaniyanDon’t fall for it
Ho sukkha maarha ni aradha ohda nekh siSukkha isn’t a bad man, his intentions were always noble
O haal boote da vi aakhe kira vekh sahiEven the state of the sapling tells you to take a good look
Jatinder maarha ni aradha ohdaJatinder isn’t mean, his heart’s in the right place,
Haal boote da vi aakhe kira vekh sahiand the health of the plant proves his care
Ho gall rakhda eh raajHe keeps these mysteries hidden
Pind chhotiyan dharaajin the village of Chhotian Dharaj
Ohne lia si zehar ehe chakh oyeHe’s the one who dared to taste this poison, hey
Rahee bach ke haaniyanSo stay on your guard, my friend
