sabak wafa ka sikhaya
bhi jaa nahi sakta
jo shikhlo to bhulaya
bhi jaa nahi sakta
ye haseen dard dil me
chhipaya bhi jaa nahi sakta
koi puchhe to bataya
bhi jaa nahi sakta

chham chham chham chham

chham chham teri paayal
khan khan khan khan
khan khan khan khan
khan khan teri choodi

chham chham chham chham

bhola bhala tera chehra

kaun bajaye been punjabi

tu darti nahi hain fikron se
muk muk nikale lakiron se
aati hain heeron si
jaise san jaati tiron se
aati hain heeron si
jaise san jaati tiron se
tenu dekh main jhoomun
aise jaise naya sharaabi
kaun bajaye been punjabi

The lesson of loyalty, it was taught,
Can never truly be unseen.
If learned, it cannot be forgot,
This beautiful ache within, between.
It can't be hidden, deep inside,
And if asked, it cannot be defined.

You fear not the wandering mystics,
From your face, lines of fate emerge,
You arrive like diamonds, so mystic,
Like arrows, their target, they surge.
You arrive like diamonds, so mystic,
Like arrows, their target, they surge.
Seeing you, I sway and reel,
Like a newly drunken sage.
