Mxrci!
Mxrci!
Ho paye khateya ch kade ni aukaat dasde
Real ones don't need to brag about their bank accounts
Pindo tura loki chadd di baraat dasde
When I roll out of the village, it looks like a royal parade
Khateya ch kade ni aukaat dasde
We don't go around flexing our status
Pindo tura loki chadd di baraat dasde
When I set off, the streets stop and stare
Ho vellia nu umra di ghaat dasde
I let the haters know their clock is ticking fast
Kehnde baaleya to jabbi maani janda dabbeya
They think they can bury the fire of my youth
Siveya nu jaanda kath dasuga kude
But the massive turnout at my funeral will speak the truth, girl
Gabru ne zindagi ch ki khateya
About everything this young man really earned in life
Ho siveya nu jaanda kath dasuga kude
The crowd that follows me to the end will tell the tale
Gabru ne zindagi ch ki khateya
Showing everyone the weight of my life's work
Siveya nu jaanda kath dasuga kude
They’ll see the legacy left behind at the pyre
Gabru ne zindagi ch ki khateya
Defining the true worth of my existence
Gabru ne zindagi ch ki khateya
A legacy etched in the hearts of my people
Gabru ne zindagi ch ki khateya
Proving my worth far beyond gold and silver
Jiyonde aa te lagdi aa mehfila billo
We live like kings, surrounded by brothers and revelry
Mare utte lagne aa mele balliye
And even in death, my passing will be a celebration
Jiyonde aa te lagdi aa mehfila billo
While I breathe, the parties never end
Mare utte lagne aa mele balliye
And when I'm gone, my legacy will spark festivities
Ni yaar khatte pyaar dildaar khateya
I built a life on loyal bonds and pure love
Naahi ustaad naahi chele balliye
I bow to no one and claim no followers, just my own path
O jameya ni koi galmein nu aa jave
Nature hasn't produced a soul brave enough to step to me
Jameya ni koi galmein nu aa jave
No one alive can challenge this spirit
Ho rabb chakku jado saada time chakeya
When the Almighty finally calls my number
Ho rabb chakku jado saada time chakeya
When my time on this earth hits the finish line
Siveya nu jaanda kath dasuga kude
The final gathering will speak volumes of my life
Gabru ne zindagi ch ki khateya
Revealing the depth of the man I became
Ho siveya nu jaanda kath dasuga kude
The masses that come to bid me farewell will know
Gabru ne zindagi ch ki khateya
The mark I left behind in this world
Siveya nu jaanda kath dasuga kude
The truth is held in the mourning of the crowd
Gabru ne zindagi ch ki khateya
A life earned through honor and grit
Gabru ne zindagi ch ki khateya
My life speaks for itself
Gabru ne zindagi ch ki khateya
What I gathered in my time here is intangible
Ho rehjuga naam phave aa na raha
I’ll vanish, but my reputation is carved in stone
Hongia gallan billon gal gal te
My name will be on everyone's lips, whispered in every story
Ho tainu ditta dil billo tera he rahu
The heart I gave you will be yours forever
Das kada davan ae pinde di khal te
What else could I offer you beyond my very soul?
Ho jaandi vaari hove ankha mure sohniye
Let your face be the last thing I see before I go
Jaandi vaari hove ankha mure sohniye
Stay before my eyes as I depart this life
O saade dil di deori hor kaun tappeya
No one else has dared to enter the sanctuary of my heart
O saade dil di deori hor kaun tappeya
You own the key to everything I am
Siveya nu jaanda kath dasuga kude
The crowd at the end will confirm who I loved
Gabru ne zindagi ch ki khateya
They will know what truly mattered to me
Ho siveya nu jaanda kath dasuga kude
The final journey will unveil my deepest ties
Gabru ne zindagi ch ki khateya
They'll see the love I cultivated
O siveya nu jaanda kath dasuga kude

The final score is settled
Ho mint ch jado jaan machke billo
When my soul ignites in a flash of heat
Kaagzra de wargi taseer ni meri
I’m flammable, ready to burn bright and fast
O tera arjan dhukda ae dhuni warga
Your Arjan glows with the intensity of a holy pyre
Time phave lage par dhohnda ni deri
I might take my time, but I never drag my feet
Bhadaud bhadaud ta karake jaauga
I’m going to make sure the name Bhadaud rings out forever
Bhadaud bhadaud ta karake jaauga
I’ll leave an undeniable legacy in my hometown
Ho saada dunia te ki rakheya
What is there left for me to hold in this world?
Ho saada dunia te ki rakheya
I’ve given everything I have
Siveya nu jaanda kath dasuga kude
The final crowd will know what I stood for
Gabru ne zindagi ch ki khateya
They'll witness the weight of my life
Ho siveya nu jaanda kath dasuga kude
They will see that I lived on my own terms
Gabru ne zindagi ch ki khateya
The legacy remains long after the fire dies
O siveya nu jaanda kath dasuga kude
The ultimate testament lies in the people who come for me
Gabru ne zindagi ch ki khateya
My life's work, defined in one final act
Gabru ne zindagi ch ki khateya
