Pagri Sambhal Jatta

Ghazni, Tughlaq, Aibaq, Ghauri
Pehla duja Khilji, Lodhi, Taimur, ‘te Babar


Jagannath Somnath Ajudhia
Banaras Kannauj ‘te Mathura
Bolia si fir Nanak

“Aiti mar pai karlaney
Taenki darad(u) na aia” rabba
Uthh kharha hun tagrha ho ja
Bina Guru ko na vali jatta
Kasna paina tainu lakk aapna
Lanbhion aa ke kisey nahion sambhnan

Pagrhi sambhal jatta
Pagrhi sambhal oye
Pagrhi sambhal

Lehna pothi miri-piri
Nauven guru di shahidi
Amrit chali muktey Auranga

Bala Mardana ‘te Baba Budhha
Bidhichand Matidas Satidas
(Mai) Bhago ‘te Banda

“Jau tau prem khelan ka chau
Sir dhar tali gali meri aau
It marag paer dharijaey
Sir deejai kaan na keejay”
Asan keeta jo aakhia si guru
Par ajj kittey phassiay jo kadey hoia si shuru

Sirhind Budhha Taruna Dal Mani Singh Bota Singh
Deep Singh Massa Rangarh Nadirshah Bhai Taru
Mir Mannu barha maaru

Shahbaz Singh Subeg Singh Haqiqat Rai Ahmed Shah
Hathhu Bagarh Singh Thomson Jassa Singh
Ghallugharey
Eh mukde nahi ne marey

Ranjit Singh Aala Singh gorey
Hari singh Phula Singh Dogrey
Attak di jit Gujarat di haar
Kehrha zimmevar

Tere hath ki aaya jatta
Tavarikhan da ghatta
Be-ittefaqian de turhi
Aa vekh uddadi pai u

English Translation:

Ghazni Tughlaq Aibaq Ghauri
The first & the second Khilji, Lodhi
Taimur and Babar

Jagannath Somnath Ayodhya
Benaras Kannauj & Mathura
And thus spoke Nanak

“Badly mauled they cry
You still do not feel any mercy” O! God!
Stand up and be strong
No one but the Guru is your master peasant
You’ll have to buckle yourself up
No stranger is coming to your rescue

Respect the turban peasant
Respect the turban
Respect the turban

Lehna, the book, the two powers
Martyrdom of the ninth Guru
Baptism, the Liberated 40, Auranga

Bala Mardana & Baba Budhha
Bidhichand Matidas Satidas
(Mother) Bhago & Banda (Bahadur)

“If you wanna play the game of love
First put your head on your palm
If you set foot on this path
Don’t evade self sacrifice”
We did what the Guru asked
But it’s stuck what was once started

Sirhind, the old & new guard, Mani Singh, Bota Singh
Deep Singh, Massa Rangarh, Nadirshah, Bhai Taru
Mir Mannu is ruthless

Shahbaz Singh Subeg Singh Haqiqat Rai Ahmed Shah
Hathu (&) Bagarh Singh (George) Thomas Jassa Singh
The Holocausts
Killing alone doesn’t finish them

Ranjit Singh, Aala Singh, The British
Hari Singh (Nalva), (Akali) Phula Singh
The victory at Attock, the defeat in Gujarat (city)
Who’s responsible

What did you lay your hands on peasant
The dust of history
The chaff of disunity
See how it flies
