Songs have the power to heal our hearts and raise our spirits.
No matter what we are going through we are always able to connect to one song or the other.
And, when the resonating frequency hits, the solace we find is difficult to describe.
When it comes to Punjabi Music Industry, it’s well-known around the world for its loud music and flamboyant videos. In such an ostentatious domain, there are singers who have succeeded in preserving the true conformation of the industry.,
Here, we are sharing some of the meaningful Punjabi songs that not only give us peace but also are a testament to the talent of this beautiful Industry.
#1: Zindagi
Challi aan main kehke
Jaddon langhi zindagi
This song by Sharry Mann from the movie Ardas Karaan is one of the rawest songs on life, you will ever come across. One of the lines say,
“Bandeya kamm kaar Nai mukkde,
Banda mukk janda,
Oh ikko pall wich Saara dhanda mukk janda.”
The message is loud and clear, “Live in the Moment” because we never know when the curtain will fall.
#2:EGO
Guddi Chadi Aasmani Jhat Thalle Tardi
Maut Maardi Na, Bande Nu Taan EGO Maardi
No one can deny the fact that EGO does more harm than good. And this song by Gary Sandhu carries the same message in beautiful words.
#3: Yaar Anmulle
Kadey laun classan na, Baith canteeni paa ke vadh cheeni
Peende si chaah banaun salaahan, Kive kujh kariye dhamak asmaani
This Song from Sharry Mann can undoubtedly be called The Friends Anthem. It covers almost every aspect of college life.
#4: Pind diyan Galiyan
Murh murh yaad sataave pind diyaan galiyaan di
Most of us left our homes for better education and job opportunities but still, our village has a special place in our hearts. This song from the living legend Gurdas Maan brings back the beautiful memories of our “Pind”.
#5: Saah
Vekh de hi saar tenu Saah ruk jaande ne
Kaisi hai yeh chandri Saza mere sahvan nu
What happens when your crush suddenly appears in front of you?
The quoted words describe exactly that.
This song by Bir Singh from the movie Lahoriye is one of the purest descriptions of what happens when a person is in Love.

#6: Thokar
Pehlan-pehlan kismat nakhre Karddi hundi aa,
Torr dekh ke hiqq lokaan di Rarrdi hundi aa,
Tunka-tunka karke guddi chaddi hundi aa,
This song by Hardeep Grewal is one of the best sources of motivation you will ever come across. The message is that though the initial progress might be slow, in the long run, hard work always pays off. The protagonist after being rejected from the recruitment of a “Sipahi” ends up becoming a DSP.
The video of the song is a complete package in itself.
#7: Raseed
Fida sab honde tu nisaar ho ja
Ohnu pata lagge taan gumaan hove
This song from Satinder Sartaj is a masterpiece on Love. The quoted words describe how true love is different from infatuation. Words are simply not enough to describe the work of Sartaj.
One of the few artists for whom “Art is more important than Commerce.”
#8: Dishaheen
Sheeshe vich khud nu tak ke dil rove
Ki ton ki ban gaye ae hazam na hove
Assi Dishaheen Parinde by Bir Singh from the movie Sarvann depicts the situation of every intellectual. Every intellectual’s life at least once comes to an impasse where one has no clue about what to do next.
This song is about the life of an individual who Introspects. Because only those who introspect can know “what they were” and “what they have become.”

We all are often trapped in places where we don’t want to stay but have no other option. In such difficult times, all we need is something to boost our morale. And this song does exactly that.

Ik din college muhro di mai langhya sir jhuk gya
Us jannat wargi thaan nu sijjda krn laye ruk gya

Changey din bas dinan di oh khed aa
Main lai aaune baanh phad ke
This song from Kambi is a perfect source of motivation for those feeling low. It also depicts one harsh truth that “if anyone can change your situation, it’s you.”
#12: Rehmat
Meri mehnat jari ae
Te teri rehmat sari ae
This song from Tarsem Jassar again inspires us to work hard. The quoted lines above can be paraphrased as “God Helps Those Who Help Themselves.”

Painda apne muqaddaran naal bhidna
Sokhiyan ni pauniyan bulandiyan
Another masterpiece from Hardeep Grewal. The song depicts that your imperfections cannot stop you. You are the chauffeur of your life, If you are determined to achieve something, no one can stop you.
There is a line that says, “Stop writing your miseries, pick up the pen and write History”
Do watch the video too. One cannot get a better motivation.

Jee chaahe panchi ho jaavaan,, Ud daa jaavaan, gaunda jaavaan,
Anchuhe sikharaan nu Choo paavaan,
Is duniya deeyaan raahvaan bhul ke, Pher kade na vaapas aavaan.
We all need an escape from the busy city life. And trust me, this poem written by the legendary poet Shiv Kumar Batalvi, and sung by Jasleen Royal can prove to be a temporary escape for you.
