Lyrics
Ho tere wal nu si per kine pattna
Hundi Chandigarh tije din ghatna,
Ni munda jhat kar dinda vardaat si
Khoon bolda si piche naiyo hatna.
O thaane aunde jande parcha ne peya si (x2),
NI tu haq ch beganeya de bol gi.
Ho kahda 21ve ch per ni tu dhareya
Munda 26iyan da 26 vich rol gi,
Ni kahda Ikkiwein ch per ni tu dhareya
Laggi dhara shabbi gabru nu rol gi.
Munda allarhe si sau jimidaran da
Jhaka rakhda na bauta billo naaran da (x2),
O hundi vote-an wele jadon laag daat si
Loha mannda si pind sardaran da,
Ni munda diamond di ring jeha keemti
NI tu dhokhe wali takdi ch tol gi.
Kahda 21ve ch per ni tu dhareya
Munda 26iyan da 26 vich rolgi,
Ni kahda 21ve ch per ni tu dhareya
Lagi dhaara 26 gabru nu rolgi.
Ho vaise Bhangre da munda kaptaan si
Naale yaaran beliyan di jind jaan si (x2).
O muhon bol ke pugaun wala gabru
Ni tu paiseyan ton kita kurbaan si,
Din soniye tu 90 vi tapaaye na
Ni tu poore 3 mahineya ch dol gi,
Ho kahda Ikkive ch per ni tu dhareya
Munda 26iyan da 26 vich rol gi
Ni kahda Ikkiwe ch per ni tu dhareya
Lagi dhara shabbi gabru nu rol gi.
O sade pind ae Jamaalpur reet ae
Sadi jide nal pe jave preet ae (x2),
Ho dekhi karu main rakaad ik din ni
Deep Garche da likheya jo geet ae.
O dite zakhm ni geetan ch paroye ne
Jedi jandi-jandi allarhe farol gi,
Ho kahda 21ve ch per ni tu dhareya
Munda 26iyan da 26 vich rol gi,
Ni kahda Ikkiwein ch per ni tu dhareya
Laggi dhara shabbi gabru nu rol gi.
