मार गये मिट गये
हन इनके उँचे उँचे ड्रीम, कुक्कर मारे जैसे श्तेआम
हन इनके उँचे उँचे ड्रीम, कुक्कर मारे जैसे श्तेआम
खड़े सीटिया बजाए मूह गोल करके
दद्डयजी के बटुइ मैं आए होल करके
आ गये जी पंजाब के शेर, वित भंगरा बिस्तर बियर बटेर
आ गये जी पंजाब के शेर, वित भंगरा बिस्तर बियर बटेर
आ गये जी पंजाब के शेर, वित भंगरा बिस्तर बियर बटेर
हन यारों मैं इनके होती हेलो ही गाली से
हम जो हो आजू बाजू थिरकें कवाली से
ओ सोनियो किद्दा, हेलो वेल्लो क्या करनी गोरों का गिद्धा सारा
आँखों मैं डाले आँखें हम बोले किडडान यारा
हे सारी दुनिया हो जैसे हाथ जोड़के खड़ी
कुच्छ किया ना कराया हर बात पे ताढ़ी
हाजी आ गये जी ओ
आ गये जी पंजाब के शेर, वित भंगरा बिस्तर बियर बटेर
आ गये जी पंजाब के शेर, वित भंगरा बिस्तर बियर बटेर
सुबह सुबह मूह अपना बियर से ढोते हैं
थाने ही जाके सुधरे यह ऐसे खोत्ते हैं
ओ जी टके इट ओर लीव इट
थाने भी रह लेंगे हम से लेंगे जो है सहना
मक्के की रोटी साग लेके तू आती रहना
खोत्ते दिल के बुरे नहीं शकल ऐसी हैं
दिल पेट से जुड़ा है यह अकल ऐसी हैं
आई आ गये ओय, तेरी तो
आ गये जी पुंजब के शेर, वित भंगरा बिस्तर बियर बटेर
आ गये जी पुंजब के शेर, वित भंगरा बिस्तर बियर बटेर
इनके उँचे उँचे ड्रीम, कुक्कर मारे जैसे श्तेआम
खड़े सीटिया बजाए मूह गोल करके
दद्डयजी के बटुए मैं आए होल करके
आ गये जी पंजाब के शेर, वित भंगरा बिस्तर बियर बटेर
आ गये जी पंजाब के शेर, वित भंगरा बिस्तर बियर बटेर

मार गये मिट गये
They are done and dusted
हन इनके उँचे उँचे ड्रीम, कुक्कर मारे जैसे श्तेआम
Their high dreams are shattered like commoners
खड़े सीटिया बजाए मूह गोल करके
They make a grand entrance, with heads held high
दद्डयजी के बटुइ मैं आए होल करके
They come with pockets full of wealth
आ गये जी पंजाब के शेर, वित भंगरा बिस्तर बियर बटेर
Here comes the lion of Punjab, with bhangra, beards, beer, and butter
हन यारों मैं इनके होती हेलो ही गाली से
I only greet them with abuses, my friends
हम जो हो आजू बाजू थिरकें कवाली से
We dance and spin around like mystics
ओ सोनियो किद्दा, हेलो वेल्लो क्या करनी गोरों का गिद्धा सारा
Oh darling, why should we care about the dances of fair-skinned people
आँखों मैं डाले आँखें हम बोले किडडान यारा
We exchange glances and speak in a playful manner
हे सारी दुनिया हो जैसे हाथ जोड़के खड़ी
As if the whole world stands with folded hands
कुच्छ किया ना कराया हर बात पे ताढ़ी
They get angry at every small thing, regardless of any effort
हाजी आ गये जी ओ
Behold, they have arrived
सुबह सुबह मूह अपना बियर से ढोते हैं
They wash their mouth with beer in the morning
थाने ही जाके सुधरे यह ऐसे खोत्ते हैं
They will only improve if taken to the police station
ओ जी टके इट ओर लीव इट
Hold it tight and leave it
थाने भी रह लेंगे हम से लेंगे जो है सहना
Even the police station will tolerate us
मक्के की रोटी साग लेके तू आती रहना
Keep coming with cornbread and spinach
खोत्ते दिल के बुरे नहीं शकल ऐसी हैं
Their hearts may be wicked, but their faces look innocent
दिल पेट से जुड़ा है यह अकल ऐसी हैं
Their hearts are connected to their stomachs, such is their intellect
आई आ गये ओय, तेरी तो
Here I come, oh dear
आ गये जी पुंजब के शेर, वित भंगरा बिस्तर बियर बटेर
Here comes the lion of Punjab, with bhangra, beds, beer, and butter
इनके उँचे उँचे ड्रीम, कुक्कर मारे जैसे श्तेआम
Their high dreams are shattered like commoners
खड़े सीटिया बजाए मूह गोल करके
They make a grand entrance, with heads held high
दद्डयजी के बटुए मैं आए होल करके
They come with pockets full of wealth
आ गये जी पंजाब के शेर, वित भंगरा बिस्तर बियर बटेर
Here comes the lion of Punjab, with bhangra, beards, beer, and butter
आ गये जी पंजाब के शेर, वित भंगरा बिस्तर बियर बटेर
Here comes the lion of Punjab, with bhangra, beards, beer, and butter

Bollywood give soo much respect to sunny leone and Nora fatehi but they didn’t give that recognition to rakhi sawant she is such a great dancer 💃
@boris2512
She was the one who made item song famous in 2000's
@akshittyagi7667
True
@mehjabeencreations7934
Absolutely true....
@RK-rb5ts
That's because Rakhi Sawant has attitude and never appriciated anyone.
@AshishKumar-eh7tm
