Satinder Sartaaz, the name needs no introduction. Perhaps, one of the most soothing voices in the entire Music domain.The man has undoubtedly changed the very syntax of the Punjabi Music Industry.
Regardless of one’s position on the age spectrum, Sartaaj’s music has found space in everyone’s heart. The calmness in his words seems to be a reflection of the man who could weather a storm with a smile.
Also, the complimentary benefit of listening to him is that there is a zone of self-discovery for each one of us in his words. His songs are not just songs. They are therapy in themselves.
Whenever you are feeling low,
- Bolt your Door
- Plugin Your Earphones
- Tune in to Sartaaj
- Increase the Volume
- And, dive deep into the world of immense Hope
To express our love for him, here, we have curated a list of his 12 best Satinder Sartaaj songs that talk about life, love, and everything in between.
#1: Auzaar
Bande De Hathan Varga, Koyi Auzaar Ni Baneya
Enna Kuch Bann Gaya Lekin, Kudrat Ton Paar Ni Baneya
As I said above, there is a zone of self-discovery in his words. This song from Satinder Sartaaj is a perfect testimony to that claim. You can feel that in his creations like these. The music, the voice, the words, everything about this piece of art will bring comfort to your heart
I’ve so many favorite lines from this one. There is an excerpt that reads,
If your songs do not give any hope to anyone,
If you don’t feel another’s pain and emotion,
Then you should understand that you still don’t deserve the name “Sartaaj”
In Sartaaj’s words,
“Tere Je Geet Kise Nu, Dinde Koi Aas Nahi
Je Kar Nahi Dard Kise Da, Je Kar Ehsaas Nahi
Samjhi Sartaaj Naam Da, Haale Haqdaar Nahi Baneya”
If the criteria for confiscating the name “Sartaaj” is dispensing Hope to the masses, then Satinder unequivocally deserves the title because his words are a perfect reminder about appreciating the beauty of the world that we live in and often provides the much-needed upthrust to effortlessly sail through the difficult times.
There is another line that reads,
Sajjna Di Deed Ton Vadh Ke
Koi Thyohaar Nhi Baneya
Undeniably, it’s one of the purest definitions of love I have ever come across, in fact, a monopolizing one. For a lover, there is no greater festival than a glimpse of their beloved. And these words from Sartaaj categorically express that authentic feeling.
This is one such song that alone covers the entire spectrum of emotions.
#2: Udaarian
Ajj Oss Da Deedar Mainu Ho Gya
Na Gall Mere Vass Di Rahi
This is another lyrically meaningful song from the king of words. The quoted words above mean,
Today I got a glimpse of her/him.
I’ve lost control over myself.
When we have a crush on someone, hormones like dopamine and oxytocin assume control of our brain. Taking custody of our brain’s reward and pleasure center these hormones make the lovers feel happy and contented around each other.
Not only this, even our pain responses dwindle in intensity.
So, Sartaaj’s words, Na gal mere vas di Rahi are not only emotionally true but also scientifically true to some extent.

#3: Beet Jaania’N
Beet Jaanian’n Eh Ruttan Haaniyaan,
Je Na Maaniyan Tol Da Ravein
These words from Sartaaj patch together perfect formwork for some serious introspection. In our reckless pursuit of preparing for the future, we end up trading our present for next to nothing. Most of us want an escape from our present lives but hardly anyone knows where to go.
To understand the situation better, you might want to read, Powerful Life-Lessons from the life of Hitchhiker, Chris McCandless, who was deeply intrigued by an itinerant lifestyle and hence wanted to get away from the conventional one.
In Sartaaj’s words,
Beet Jaanian’n Eh Ruttan Haaniyaan,
Je Na Maaniyan Tol Da Ravein
These words from Sartaaj remind me of the words of Henry David Thoreau,
Fools stand on their island of opportunities and look toward another land. There is no other land; there is no other life but this.
Rightly said, there is no other land, there is no other life.
#4: Tere Vaastey
Tere Vaaste Ve Sajna, Peedan Assi Handaiyan
Sarmaaye Zindagi De, Ehi Daultan Kamaiyan
The above-quoted words from Sartaaj mean,
For you, my beloved, I’ve endured many pains
These are my life assets, these are the fortunes I’ve earned.
Only a true lover can understand the depth of these words. For a lover, the pain of separation is indeed an asset, an asset that functions as the mainspring in the process of “synthesizing” an artist out of a lover 😉
Unrequited love has produced some of the greatest writes of all time. Shiv Kumar Batalvi and France Prešeren are exemplars of the category of writers who used unrequited love as a propellant and ended up producing some of the finest poetries of all time.
Sartaaj has exquisitely covered that feeling in this song.
In his words,
Tere Naina Ne Taan Sanu,
Kaagaz Kalam Phadaya.

#5: Ikko Mikke
Hoye Main Te Sajjan Ikko Mikke
Dasso Ji Hunn Ki Likhiye
This song from Sartaaj perfectly articulates in words the contentment of falling in love. Not many things in life are comparable to the euphoria of falling for someone, especially when it’s with the person who reciprocates your love with the same intensity.
The lovers notice some drastic changes in their habits. Their moods are lifted to exceptional levels, appetites reach a new low, and sleeping seems to be a waste of time.
Not only this, everything around you appears to be in a teasing mode. Even the mirror is no exception. In the words of Sartaaj,
Saanu Aaj Kal Sheesha bada Chhed Da
Get Lost in Sartaaj’s Voice with these:-
#6: Pyar De Mareez by Satinder Sartaaj
Sachiyan Mohabbatan Nu Kehn Di Nai Lod
Appe Pata Lag Janda Ae Azeez Nu
This song from Sartaaj can be called the anthem for victims in love. The above-quoted words mean True Love is not required to be told. The beloved gets to know it automatically. I would strongly caution you against believing these words.
No one would get to know anything and if you end up putting your stake on these words, then the following words from this same song would resonate with you the most 😉
Yaar Di Nishani Rakhe Har Vele Naal
Jivein Saambh Saambh Rakhi da Tabeez Nu
(Bas fer nishaani hi saambi jaayo)
#7: Raseed
Fida Sab Hunde Tu Nisaar Ho Ja,
Ohno Pata Lagge Taan Gumaan Hove
This song by Sartaaj provides some of the best life advice one can get. And when traveling alone these could really give you the much-needed impetus towards solving some of the most complex problems of your life.
There is a line that says,
Karke Hausla Ve Ho Ja Ikko Passe
Ya Taan Kakh ban Ja Ya Kamaal Ban Ja
This is important because, in our prodigal pursuit of keeping all the options open, we end up grappling with mediocrity in everything we do. Greatness is something that can be achieved with long-term commitments. And long-term commitment is the place where the law of compounding unveils its true power. It’s good, to begin with, a lot of options but we can’t stay there forever.

#8: Ammi
Duniya Te Sukh, Sabar, Shanti Tan Ae,
Kyoki Sabna Kol Ammuli “MAA” Ae
This song by Satinder Sartaj is one of my personal favorites. It’s one of the most calming songs you will ever find.
It’s like listening to a friend, you never get tired of. You just want them to be there with you all the time. Such is the addiction of this one. Whenever I am traveling alone, this one from Sartaaj is on the top of my playlist.
Also, when I feel sad, tired, or anxious, I put on my headphones and turn to the magical voice of Sartaaj. And as you would expect, he never disappoints.

#9: Zikr Tera
Jad Zikar Tera Hove, Rukh bolan Lagde Ne..
Patjharh Da Mausam Vi Rangeen Jeha Lagda
Love can be extremely beautiful. The feeling that erupts when someone talks about the person you want to spend the rest of your life with is difficult to put in words. No ordinary human’s lexicon can have precise words to aptly explain this metaphysical feeling. But, Sartaaj is by no means an ordinary human, he is the king of words. He has managed to do justice to this feeling with his soul-penetrating words.
The above-quoted words mean,
When your name is mentioned, the trees begin to speak
Even the fall season seems colorful!!
There is another para that reads,
Main Kise Ton Pariyan Di Ik Suni Kahani c
Ajj Us Afsane Te Yakeen Jeha Lagda..
To convincingly helm your love-vessel through, what better than these words from Sartaaj can you pin your hopes on?

#10: Nilami
Nilami Kiti Ishqe Di Meherma
Ve Keh Ke Bismillah
This song is something that would resonate with everyone pained from unrequited love. We all have experienced times when our “silent wishes” of realizing our love request to resign but our never-ending hope insists to keep waiting.
In the words of Sartaaj,
Khamosh Khwaahishan Mangan Isteefe
Par Kehan Ummeedan Gal Hor Kitton di
Another para reads,
Farebi Jeha Jogi ae Sartaaj
Adhoora Ohda Tilla
It means, Sartaaj is a deceitful Jogi, whose retreat is incomplete.
Now, these are the words most of the lovers experiencing unrequited love would relate to. We are all jogis but would happily return once, our beloved subscribes to our feelings 😉

#11: Filhaal Hawavan
Filhaal Hawawan Rumkdiya
Jad Jakhar Julu Vekhange.
The quoted words above mean,
Currently, the wind is moving slowly,
Will see(worry) when the cyclone comes!!
I’m in love with the way Sartaaj fiddles with the words. His words carry a perfect balance between optimism and realism or in better words, he seems to be a Possibilist. A possibilist is someone who neither hopes without reason nor worries without reason. That’s something I read in the book Factfulness by Hans Rosling.
There is another para that reads,
Loka Layi Aunda Saal Pichon.
Oh Roj bane Tyohaar Mera.
That’s Sartaaj for you!!
Conceiving something like this isn’t possible without pushing one’s brain to the limit. These songs are perfect corroboration to his already-established identity as a hyperintelligent writer.
