Fame
Fateh feat. The Prophec Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Na chahdiyan ae shartaan,
Na chahida mainu fame,

Aajkal mere aase paase,
Lokan da bharosa ni,
Bhaji bhaji mainu karde,
Naal kari jaande oh dhokha vi,
Saare ban-na chaunde star,
Ae zindagi layi na teyaar,
Farz karo mere purane yaar,
Jinha layi si hamesha pyaar,

Aaj mere naal bolde nahi,
Nikle saare matlabi,
Duniya saari de davaan,
Fer vi kehna kuch kitta nahi,

Din raat di mehnat,
Ohde vichon hissa labh de,
Dukh taan bada lagga par,
Changa hi kitta Rabb ne,

Kayi rishtedaara ne,
Kade pyaar naal bulaya nahi,
Hun sadde oh te sadde kehnde,
Fateh saada aaya nahi,

Saade taae de chache de maasad munde ne,
Photo ae khichni si,
Je aukha vehla aaya mera ehna di shakal disni nai,

So please! leave me alone,
Hojo mere taun pare,
Jihna di si fan hun ohi mere taun sade,

Na chahide mainu fake friends,
Na chahide mainu yes man,
Bas chahidi kamyabi and real love,

Na chahdiyan ae shartaan,
Na chahida mainu fame,

Nahi lena,
Nahi nahi lena.
Fame.

Mainu yaad aa ik time te,
Shohrtaan main labhda si,
Shuru kitta main jad,
Mainu har koi gaalaan kadd da si,

Singh'a da kam koi rap nai,
Music ch tera chance nahi,
Kudiyan ne karna pasand nahi,
Tainu deke biwi bandni,

Hun apne naujawana nu,
Main denda aa pura honsla,
Ke jo vi tu karna chauna,
Mehnat naal tu phaunch ja,

Bhulyo na tusi maa boli,
Kise layi na badleyo look,
Par uncle mere piche paye,
Mainu eis gal da dukh,

Galtiyan saare karde,
Tusi apne aap nu ki samjhde?
Mere parivaar nu gaalaan kadd de,
Tuhanu ehi sikhaya Rabb ne,

Chahida ni mainu tohada saath,
Mera dil rehnda hamesha saaf,
Rakh lo shohrataan rakh lo fame,
Main ni kehdni eh puthi game,

So please! leave me alone,
Hojo mere taun pare,
Jihna di si fan hun ohi mere taun sade,

Na chahide mainu fake friends,
Na chahide mainu yes man,
Bas chahidi kamyabi and real love,

Na chahdiyan ae shartaan,
Na chahida menu fame,

Na chahida mainu gaddiyan te naddiyan da saath,
Na mainu stardum na paise di parwaah,
Nakli yaaraan di na hun mainu koi lod,
Yaar thode hi bahtere mainu lakhan di na lod,





Na chahdiyan ae shartaan,
Na chahida menu fame,

Overall Meaning

In "Fame," Fateh and The PropheC express their disillusionment with fame and the difficulties that come with success. They reject the "fake friends" and "yes men" who come with fame and instead focus on their passion for music and the support of their true friends and family. They talk about the struggles they've faced in the music industry and how they've had to work tirelessly to achieve their dreams. Despite the difficult times, they remain committed to their craft and their vision, refusing to compromise their values for the sake of fame.


Throughout the song, the artists use Punjabi and English to convey their message, mixing traditional Punjabi instruments with modern beats. The chorus "Na chahdiyan ae shartaan, na chahida mainu fame" (I don't want any conditions, I don't want fame) is repeated throughout the song, emphasizing the artists' rejection of the trappings of success.


The song also touches on the challenges of staying true to oneself in the face of industry pressures and the need to constantly reinvent oneself to stay relevant. Despite these difficulties, the artists remain determined to remain true to themselves and their passion for music.
