Think Big Kaka Sikh Saari Patte Di Aa Game

Aim high, kid; understand that life is an intricate game of cards.

Duniya Te Daari Jivein Satte Di Aa Game

The world operates on chance, much like a high-stakes gambling match.

Win Vi Karenga Naale Loose Vi Karega

You are destined to taste both victory and defeat.

Putt Lagge Aa Hi Rahi Nahi Hatte Di Aa Game

Son, recognize that this is a relentless pursuit for those who refuse to quit.

Oh Vaddi Soch Rakhega Te Vadda Hoyega

If you nurture expansive ambitions, you will inevitably reach great heights.

Nahi Kadd Ton Uncha Ni Butta Bel Da Gaya

A creeping vine cannot exceed the stature of the support it clings to.

Oh Bapu Kehnda Zindagi Aa Jua Puttran

My father taught me that life is fundamentally a gamble.

Ni Main Khelda Gaya Ni Main Khelda Gaya

So, I kept participating, I kept playing the game.

Bapu Kehnda Zindagi Aa Jua Puttran

Father always insisted that existence is a risk.

Ni Main Khelda Gaya Ni Main Khelda Gaya

I simply kept moving, I never stopped playing.

Oh Bina Gallon Rishte Kharab Ni Hunde

Relationships don't simply crumble without underlying causes.

Sarron Aale Diyan Na Gulaab Ni Hunde

You cannot expect roses from a field of mustard seeds.

Paisa Pusa Dekh Ke Na Layi Sohniyan

Do not base your attachments on material wealth, my beauty.

Jyadatar Yaarian Ch Hisaab Ni Hunde

True friendships are never about maintaining a ledger of favors.

Bade Turre Phirde Aa Jebkatre

The world is teeming with opportunistic individuals.

Karke Gaddari Kithe Sang Maarde

They feel absolutely no shame after committing betrayal.

Dudh Na Pilayi Kaale Naag Puttran

Avoid nurturing toxic people, son; they are like black serpents.

Dudh Peen Pichhon Aihe Dang Maarde

Once they have benefitted from you, they will turn and bite.

Oh Meriyan Duawan Tere Naal Sohneya

May my blessings always accompany you, my boy.

Ohne Ainni Gall Aakhi Te Main Pelda Gaya

His brief wisdom was enough; I kept pushing ahead with intensity.

Oh Bapu Kehnda Zindagi Aa Jua Puttran

Father’s advice remains: life is a gamble.

Ni Main Khelda Gaya Ni Main Khelda Gaya

And I kept playing, never deterred.

Oh Bapu Kehnda Zindagi Aa Jua Puttran

Life is a risk, as Father said.

Ni Main Khelda Gaya Ni Main Khelda Gaya

I continued my journey, playing my hand.

Oh Ankhan Vichon Peeti Hoyi Sharab Ni Hundi

The intoxication gained from a gaze is far more powerful than any literal spirit.

Kade Kade Peeni Vi Kharab Ni Hundi

Occasionally, indulging in a drink isn't necessarily detrimental.

Kise Ne Parauna Nahiyon Rui Nakk Te

No one will be standing by to comfort you at the end of the road.

Gairan Muhre Kholi Di Kitab Ni Hundi

Do not expose the pages of your life to those who are merely strangers.

Loyal Ni Hundi Kothi Car Puttran

Material assets like mansions and cars are devoid of true loyalty.

Teen Kamre Te Char Puttran

It doesn't matter if your dwelling is small or large, son.

Baahla Chirr Table Black Jack Da

The gambling table is fleeting; it won't offer long-term support.

Sath Kithe Dave Jivein Naar Puttran

It is no more reliable than the fickleness of people, son.

Oh Yaaran Naal Turri Kyunki Dekheya Kade Ni

I rely on my true friends because I have never witnessed,

Bina Engine Ton Dabba Kitte Rail Da Gaya

a rail carriage move anywhere without an engine to drive it.

Oh Bapu Kehnda Zindagi Aa Jua Puttra

Father’s mantra holds: life is a gamble.

Ni Main Khelda Gaya Ni Main Khelda Gaya

So I continued playing, regardless of the odds.

Oh Bapu Kehnda Zindagi Aa Jua Puttra

Yes, life is a high-stakes game.

Ni Main Khelda Gaya Ni Main Khelda Gaya

And I keep participating, I keep moving.

Oh Mainu Yaad Aa Mere

I recall the days at our humble home,

Ghare Hunda Thodeya Si Aata

where flour was in such short supply.

Taan Vi Aakhdi Hundi Si Ik Hor Khale Mata

Yet, my mother would selflessly insist I eat just one more portion.

Mere Kiddan De Halaat

My past circumstances,

Hone Mere Kiddan De Halaat

what I had to endure to get here,

Mainu Kithe Tak Leke Aa Gaye

and the heights I have finally achieved,

Bebe Tere Paath

are entirely due to your divine prayers, Mother.

Ni Main Chaal Kaim Rakhi

I maintained my consistent stride,

Kude Mel Da Gaya

and stayed focused on my path, girl.

Jivein Utte Aa Dubai

Much like the meteoric rise of Dubai,

Mull Tel Da Gaya

the value of my labor has appreciated.

Jivein Khelde Casino Loki Jua Nakhro

Just like people lose themselves in the rhythm of a casino, dear,

Tera Yaar Ohvein Zindagi Ch Khelda Gaya

your man has navigated the currents of life with the same boldness.

Tera Yaar Ohvein Zindagi Ch Khelda Gaya

I have played my hand in life with complete commitment.

Oh Bapu Kehnda Zindagi Aa

Father says life is…

Oh Bapu Kehnda

Father says…
