ਗੱਲਾਂ | Gallbaat - Punjabi Quotes, Proverbs, and i

Everything I touch may disintegrate into dust Everything I trust may dishonor me in disgust Everything is everything, affidavits and wedding rings I ain't scared of losses no more, I see life in that I don't resonate with the concept of love and hate Cause your perspective is less effective and rather fake The universe and the heavens work in my DNA

I dreamed I was missing You were so scared But no one would listen 'Cause no one else cared After my dreaming I woke with this fear What am I leaving When I'm done here? So if you're asking me I want you to know When my time comes Forget the wrong that I've done Help me leave behind some Reasons to be missed And don't resent me And when you're feeling empty Keep me in your memory Leave out all the rest Leave out all the rest

A fool thinks himself to be wise, but a wise man knows himself to be a fool.

I remember you was conflicted Misusing your influence Sometimes I did the same Abusing my power, full of resentment Resentment that turned into a deep depression Found myself screaming in the hotel room I didn’t wanna self destruct The evils of Lucy was all around me So I went running for answers...............

ਸਈਓਂ ਨੀ ਇਕ ਭੁੱਲ ਮੈਥੋਂ ਹੋਈ ਨੀ ਜਿਹੜਾ ਪੰਛੀ ਯਾਰ ਬਣਾਇਆ ਚੂਰੀ ਕੁੱਟਾਂ ਤੇ ਉਹ ਖਾਂਦਾ ਨਾਹੀ ਨੀ ਓਹਨੂੰ ਦਿਲ ਦਾ ਮਾਸ ਖਵਾਯਾ ਇਕ ਉਡਣੀ ਨੀ ਉਹ ਐਸੀ ਉੱਡਯਾ ਓਹਨੇ ਪਰਤ ਨਾ ਫੇਰ ਪਾਇਆ ਛੱਲਾ ਮੁੜ ਕੇ ਨੀ ਆਇਆ ਵੇ ਰੋਣਾ ਉਮਰਾਂ ਦਾ ਪਾਇਆ ਵੇ ਮੱਲਿਆ ਦੇਸ ਪਰਾਇਆ ....

"I've always loathed the necessity of sleep. Like death, it puts even the most powerful men on their backs'

ਗੈਰਤ ਵਾਲੇ ਨਾ ਹੋਂਸਲਾ ਛੱਡ ਦੇ ਨੇ ਲੈਂਦੇ ਝੱਲ ਮੁਸੀਬਤਾਂ ਭਾਰੀਆਂ ਨੇ ਉਹ ਅੰਤ ਨੂੰ ਬਾਜ਼ੀਆਂ ਹਰ ਜਾਂਦੇ ਬਾਗ਼ਾਂ ਮੰਗੀਆਂ ਜਿਨਾਂ ਉਧਾਰੀਆਂ ਨੇ

“In these cells, besides myself, there are many other prisoners who are waiting to be hanged. The only prayer of these people is that somehow or other they may escape the noose. Perhaps I am the only man amongst them who is anxiously waiting for the day when i will be fortunate enough to embrace the gallows for my ideal. I will climb the gallows gladly and show to the world as to how bravely the revolutionaries can sacrifice themselves for the cause”

What an amazing video and the concept of taking Bhagat singh into the future was a really good. Its actually made people think if Bhagat singh would have known that what will happen in his Punjab, had he still sacrificed his life for the country. I had no words when he was about to erase ‘Shaheed’ from his name in the video, what a spine chilling scene it was. 

Listening to the lyrics one can easily feel the pain in the writings of Gurdas Maan. But one question in the back of my mind which has been hitting me was why he did not released the video during the high time of elections, Why!? I know a lot of people have been coming out with the arguments that “Please stop associating Gurdas Maan with politics” & “Why people think that if he released the song before elections it would have changed peoples minds to vote?”. I fully understand that thinking peoples vote will be changed with his song is absurd.  Here’s what I have been thinking from past couple of months. To me its not about changing peoples minds to vote but to take a stand against the crooks and bad things in Punjab. Gurdas Maan being one of the most influential Punjabi artists whose words catch attention of almost all the Punjabi. From the past couple of months deep inside myself and i believe there are many more like me, who were waiting for him to say something about whats been going on in Punjab. But it never happened. I am completely fine with that though because its his choice after all its his life. But I have been watching him since my childhood and I bet at least 2-3 generations of Punjab have grown up listening to his melodious songs about Punjab. Now releasing the song especially after elections does not make sense. To me it looks like playing smart and safe. Even if he stayed silent on this whole thing it would have been fine because then it would be considered well he does not want to engage himself in the politics which is fine as its his choice. Now there would always be this small thing bothering my mind that Gurdas Maan whom I have been following like a die hard fan missed the point in the history of Punjab when he could have stood tall against all the wrongs. 

Here’s what I have learnt, I have always liked his poetry and hopefully i always will, but considering every artist to bring up a change in the society and standing with what they preach is not always the right expectation. And keeping expectations always hurts. 

Some people are thinkers and some people are doers. So just listen to their songs and pay them for their art by buying it. That is it! nothing more.

But I sincerely do people of Punjab are aware of who took the stand, roared like a lion against all the odds and is the real keeper of Bhagat Singh’s legacy and spirit...

Jeonda vasda rahe saada Stoj vala Maan.

ਫਿਕਰਾਂ ਵਾਲੀ ਪੰਡ ਜੋ ਸਿਰ ਤੇ, ਨਹਿਰ ਕਿਸੇ ਵਿਚ ਰੋੜ੍ਹ ਦੇਯੋ ਲੈਲੋ ਪੈਸਾ ਦੌਲਤ ਸ਼ੋਹਰਤ, ਬਚਪਨ ਮੇਰਾ ਮੋੜ ਦੇਯੋ

ਲੱਗੀ ਜੋ ਤੇਰੇ ਕਾਲਜੇ ਹਾਲੇ ਛੁਰੀ ਨਹੀਂ ਇਹ ਨਾ ਸਮਝੀ ਕਿ ਸ਼ਹਿਰ ਦੀ ਹਾਲਤ ਬੁਰੀ ਨਹੀਂ
