Singer & Lyrics- Gurdas Maan


Ik Navi Bimari Chali Eh, Bai Jaag De Rehna
A new illness has spread – stay alert, stay awake

Bai Jaag De Rehna
Stay alert, stay awake (CHORUS X2)

Ghar-Ghar Dey Vich Chirri Larai (X2), Har Boohey Thar-Thalli Eh
In each home there is upheaval – things have taken a turn for the worse; behind every door things are out of control

Bai Jaag De Rehna
Stay alert, stay awake (X2)

Ik Navi Bimari Chali Eh, Bai Jaag De Rehna
A new illness has spread – stay alert, stay awake

Bai Jaag De Rehna
Stay alert, stay awake

Badiya Da Satkaar Din-Bo-Din Ghat Da, Ghat Da Jaave
Day by day the respect for elders is diminishing

Khudgarzi Dey Dour’ch Banda Khud Noo Khudda Kahaavey
In this age of selfishness, mere men are proclaiming to be God
This can be seen with the amount of fake ‘gurus’, mystical pandits, and peers, etc, who offer to make ones life better

Koora Pehney, Koora Khaavey, Koora Karam Kamaavey
He wears filth, he eats filth and his deeds are filthy
This is referenced to the actions of humanity and how everything is orientated around misdeeds e.g. wearing very little, eating the carcass of dead animals and furthermore fornicating before marriage, etc,.

Naviyan Khoja Laban Vaala Aap Gawachi Jaave
The explorer in pursuit of new discoveries has, in essence, lost himself

Moh, Maya Di Madrah Peeke (X2), Har Koi Banda Talli-Eh
Drinking the intoxicant of attachment and greed for worldly things, all of humanity are inebriated

Bai Jaag De Rehna
Stay alert, stay awake (X2)

Ik Navi Bimari Chali Eh, Bai Jaag De Rehna
A new illness has spread – stay alert, stay awake

Bai Jaag De Rehna
Stay alert, stay awake

Changey Chokhe Bastar Paakey, Fir Nangey Da Nanga
He wears the best robes (clothes) yet he still feels exposed

Apniya Parchaiyan Kolo Khud Darda Eh Banda
He is that conscious of his own deeds that the mortal even fears his own shadow

Rabb De Roop’ch Ranjha Kehri Heer-Saleti Vekhe
Do today’s Heers see their Ranjha as an embodiment of God?

Galli-Galli Vich Ranjhay Firday, Jaa Thaaney Jaa Theke
The Ranjhay of this day and age are plenty but they are scattered, either in prisons or in places where alcohol flows like water

Choori Di Thaan Jutiya Khaakey (X2), Hundi Nahin Tasali-Eh
Instead of receiving the sweet chapatti of my beloved, receiving beatings does not satisfy the lovers hunger

Bai Jaag De Rehna
Stay alert, stay awake (X2)

Ik Navi Bimari Chali Eh, Bai Jaag De Rehna
A new illness has spread – stay alert, stay awake

Bai Jaag De Rehna
Stay alert, stay awake

Naam Japan Tey Vand Shakan Da Bhuleya Raam-Ravaiya
Meditating upon the true name of the lord and sharing with others, the basic tenements of Sikhism have been forgotten

Maa’van Thandiya Shaa’van Si Kal, Aj Di Shaun Rupaiya
In the past, mothers used to shade their children from harm but now it is money that ‘shades’ all of humanity

Thee, Pehn Di Izzat Banda Do Takkiya Vich Beche
Men are willing to sell their daughters/sisters honour/dignity for pennies

Ja Majboori, Ja Magroori Ja Kismet De Lekhe
Either he is forced to be circumstances, either to satisfy his own greed, hunger and ego or either it is written in his fate (which he cannot change)

Mein Roti Noo Ranjha Akhaan (X2), Loki Aakhan Challi-Eh
I call my food Ranjha, people call me senile

Bai Jaag De Rehna
Stay alert, stay awake (X2)

Ik Navi Bimari Chali Eh, Bai Jaag De Rehna
A new illness has spread – stay alert, stay awake

Bai Jaag De Rehna
Stay alert, stay awake

Marjaaney Noo Shado Maana, Jeevan Jogey Hovo
Forget me, forget fear and forget death and negativity, become alert and awake so you can live a fulfilling life

Guru Gobind De Babbar Shero, Hanera Hi Na Thovo
The lions of Guru Gobind Singh Ji, don’t live a life clouded by darkness and evil – keep your eyes open at all times and be alert

Hindu Attey Musalmaan Tere Shotey Vaddey Bai
Hindus and Muslims are your younger and older brothers in humanity – we are all one e.g. Guru Nanak Dev Ji’s philosophy ‘Na Koi Hindu, Na Koi Musalmaan’

Jinna Khaatir Saadey Guru’an Rann Vich Teg Bahai
Because of these brothers of yours (Hindu’s/Muslim’s), our gurus have drawn arms in battle to fight tyranny and injustice

Raam, Muhammed, Nanak Iko (X2), Saadi Soch Kalali-Eh
Raam (Hindu ‘God’), Muhammed (Muslim ‘Prophet’) and Guru Nanak (Sikh ‘Guru’) are one and the same as they came to profess the true word of God however due to our own ignorance we are unable to comprehend this fact

Bai Jaag De Rehna
Stay alert, stay awake (X2)

Ik Navi Bimari Chali Eh, Bai Jaag De Rehna
A new illness has spread – stay alert, stay awake

Bai Jaag De Rehna
Stay alert, stay awake

Bailiya Jaag Dhe Rehna
Friend stay alert, stay awake

Oi Jaag De Rehna
Stay alert, stay awake
