lakh pardesi hoyiye

apna des nai bhandida
jhede mulk da khayiye usda bura nai mangida

It is one of those Gurdas Mann songs that you really must listen to each word of, it is very well written and very much steeped in that punjabi folk wisdom that people give you all the time and you hardly listen to them and then years go by and no one says those things to you anymore and you miss them.

maade bande vich vi koi gun changa hovega
jun hunda gunkari badbu lassan di gandi da

niyat bina na kade muradan miliyan milan giyan
jhina marzi paath kara lo ghar vich chandi da

marjaane da maan dhan sab tere hath vich hai
parda kaj layin sainyan meri changi mandi da
