Friendship actually doesn’t fit into any definition. It’s a relationship that cannot be described with words. But as goes the saying, Words, sometimes can set you free. So, keeping that in mind here is my favorite description of this noble relationship.
Friendship is unnecessary, like philosophy, like art. It has no survival value; rather it is one of those things which give value to survival.
Friendship gives value to survival. These words from The Four Loves would have definitely given you an idea about the magnitude of the importance friendship carries in human life.
To reciprocate my love for some of my friends who have really made this life worth living, here, I’ve hand-picked 9 lyrically meaningful Punjabi songs that best express this amazing relationship.
#1: Yaar Anmulle by Sharry Mann
Kadey laun classan na, Baith canteeni paa ke vadh cheeni
Peende si chaah banaun salaahan, Kive kujh kariye dhamak asmaani
The 1st on our list is one of the most loved songs from Sharry Mann.
Carrying the spirit of friendship in its very lyrics, this song is literally the aptest depiction of college life in India.
The quoted words above describe the story of most of the college students. They hardly attend classes, sit in the canteens, drink tea with excess sugar (a thing of past though, nowadays everyone is calorie-conscious), and at the same time make plans on achieving heights in life.
This Song from Sharry Mann can undoubtedly be called The College Anthem because it’s one of the rawest descriptions of college life. Anyone who has attended college will definitely be able to relate to it.
#2: Mere Yaar 17 Sector je by Karan benipal
Din bacchpan de vii Change sii, Ohh looh vich nahaaunde nange si,
Ki pta kii Duniyaadari aaa, bas khedna saari dehaadi aa
It’s rightly said, “Friendship is like standing on wet cement. The longer you stay, the harder it’s to leave, and you can never go without leaving your footprints behind.”
This song by Karan benipal depicts exactly that. It’s about those childhood friends who never left. And with time the bond has only become stronger.
The best part about such relationships is that distance doesn’t change them. Such friends are able to spend time away from each other and pick up right where they left.
#3: Yaar Gawaune by Sarang Sikander
Oh yaar gawaune saukhe ne, Par paune ne aukhe
This song by Sarang Sikander from the web series Yar Jigree Kasooti Degree teaches one of the most important lessons in friendship.
The voice of Sarang is really a treat to the ears.

#4: Yaar Mod Do by Milind Gaba and Guru Randhawa
Oh le lo paisa, te le lo pyaar, Mainu mere yaar mod do
This song from Milind Gaba and Guru Randhawa is one of my favorite songs on friendship.
Another music video that is too high on emotions. One of the friends has a car accident and the video describes the aftermath of the accident.
For hostelers like me, in the absence of family, friends are no less than family. And, so this song has a very special place in my heart.
#5: Kache Pakke Yaar by Parmish Verma
Naal deyan yaaran vichon bebe bapu takki de
This song by Parmish Verma is not only a song, it’s a complete feeling. It explores the uncharted territory of the lives of International students. Every student, living abroad will be able to relate to each and every word of this song.
The quoted words above, “Naal deyan yaaran vichon bebe bapu takki de” means we see our parents in our friends.
And that’s so true, especially when you are studying abroad, miles away from your family, friends become your second family.
#6: Hostel by Sharry Mann
Jithe hanse khede kade kade assi lad’de si,
Main pher dobara ohi zindagi jeeni ae
This is another crowd-puller from Sharry Mann on college life. It seems he has got a knack of creating songs on college life.
Hostel friends make a family, away from home. They see you at your best and worst. They always give you company even when you’re going through the toughest of times. They are the ones who make those 4 years of college, one of the best phases of your life.
All of this is beautifully depicted in the video. It will literally give goosebumps to every hosteller.
Walk down the memory lane with this perfect piece of art.

#7: Yaara by Sharry Mann
Tu hukum taan karda ve, Assi dinde jaan yaara
Par tainu zindagi cho, Na dinde jaan yaara
This song by Sharry Mann from the movie Rocky Mental expresses the feeling of a friend when his best friend dies. It is one of the most heart-warming songs on friendship ever made. The captivating voice of Sharry Mann has added an extra dimension to the song.
It will literally make you cry. Make sure you have a box of tissues ready while listening to this one. \

#8: P.U Diyan Yaarian by Sharry Mann
Ho jimmevariyan muka de rabba mereya,
Saanu yaariyan layi khulla time chahida
Life unfolds itself in phases. The phase of student life ends with the end of college and then begins the phase of work life.
In the hustle and bustle of starting a new job, in a new city, probably with a whole new set of colleagues, we often lose track of those friends, without whom, we couldn’t even have imagined our lives. Perhaps, responsibilities take a toll on the friendship.
This song from Sharry Mann presents exactly this scenario. It expresses one of the most sought-after desires of most of us, the desire to get an escape from our responsibilities and relive college life.
While no one can bring back those days, this song from Sharry Mann definitely does bring back those feelings.
#9: 97 De Yaar by Kulwinder Billa
Dhanwaad karda main Facebook da,
Jiney bichhde 97 de yaar modte
This song from Kulwinder Billa hits differently. It thanks Facebook for helping in reconnecting with the old college friends.
It will definitely resonate with every adult born in the ’80s who had lost touch with his/he friends after college due to limited means of connection in those times but now with the help of Facebook has found them back.
Relive your friendship through this very emotional music video.
