is tan ne muk jana

bhanven roz malishan kariye

another Gurdas Mann gem, though I think it is a bit too obvious compared to some of his other wonderful works, but when you put it in front of the other garbage that is spewed off in the name of punjabi songs these days this looks like picasso.

jindagi da hissa ne jame diyan khushiyan mare da rona

or
gall sachi sachhyan diyan
dab ke vahiye raj ke khayiye
thoda khayie kharch layiye, thoda daan punn te layiye

and wow he can still dance, and I think he really is one of the most good looking punjabi singers even now. Perhaps that is what he is telling the younger generation with the other song in the same album, bai ke vekh jawaka, baabe bhangra paunde ne. Who better than him to show the younger generation how it is done.

na oh rahiyan khurakan na oh zor jawani de
dus saalan de kaake maare akh mastani de
ishqe maare fir nasheyan de teeke launde ne

and here is my favourite one, coz it reminds me of my dadi and her saying that you get angry because you are weak, and every health problem could be solved with some sarson ka tel in your head :)

baute laad ladayan nu ajj susti maar gayi
cheti lad painde ne baba khushki maar gayi
tel saron da mushq maarda gellan launde ne
