The latest addition to the Punjabi Literature section of HappinessDhaba is a masterpiece penned by the supremely talented Harmanjeet. Known for his unparalleled ability to weave wisdom into words, Harmanjeet’s lyrics in this song are not just poetry—they’re life lessons, a spiritual guide, and a mirror to the self.
One sentence in particular resonates with me on a deeply philosophical level:
Khilara Pai Gaya Ae, Kattha Kar Lai Waqt Naal
(Chaos has erupted; Restore balance before time slips away.)
This sentence carries a profound truth about the impermanence of disruptions in life. Chaos, while inevitable, is not meant to last. Harmanjeet reminds us that it is our responsibility to act, to confront the disorder head-on and bring things back to equilibrium. Yet, this must be done within the boundaries of time—an acknowledgment that delays can turn manageable chaos into irreversible turmoil
And then comes a profound nudge to embrace silence in a world that glorifies noise:
Tu Hun Tak Bolda Aaya Ae, Pehla Chup Kar.
(You’ve been speaking until now; first, become silent.)
These words are not merely about being quiet but about pausing the incessant chatter of the mind, the ego, the distractions. To become silent is to prepare oneself to receive the truths that words alone cannot grasp.
The song doesn’t preach — it invites.
It doesn’t push — it guides.
Harmanjeet’s words are calming and piercing, a rare balance that deeply moves you and so makes it a perfect addition to the Punjabi Literature section of HappinessDhaba.
Dive into the lyrics, and let them occupy your thoughts for some time.
Dhiaan Dhar Mehsoos Kar Lyrics Translation | Diljit Dosanjh | Harmanjeet
O Kehnde Kithe Hai
Tera Rabb Disda Hi Nahi
Main Keha Akhan Band Kar
Dhyan Dhar Mehsoos Kar
They Say, “Where Is Your God?
We Can’t See Him.”
I said, “Close Your Eyes,
Meditate, Feel His Presence.”
Eh Masla Bahar Di Akh Da Nahi
Andar Da Hai
Main Keha Akhan Band Kar
Dhyan Dhar Mehsoos Kar
This Issue Isn’t of The External Eye;
It’s Internal.
I said, “Close Your Eyes,
Meditate, Feel His Presence.”
O Kehnde Sapp Chhavan
Kar Gaya Kinj Mukh Te
Te Nale Panje Naal
Pahad Kivein Ruk Jave
They Ask, “How can a snake provide shade on the face?”
And how can mountains
be halted with the palm of a hand?
Main Keha Bharam Nahi Eh
Ramaz Hai Sanket Hai
Ki Ikk Vishwas Jis nal
Rulda Patthar Ruk Jave
I said, “It’s not Superstition;
These are Metaphors and indications.”
With Firm Belief,
Even A Rolling Stone Can Be Stopped.
O Kehnde Dass Ki Sabit
Karna Chahunde Tu Bhala
Main Keha Akhan Band Kar
Dhyan Dhar Mehsoos Kar
They Ask, “What Are You
Trying To Prove?”
I said, “Close Your Eyes,
Meditate, Feel It.”
Guru Nanak Taan Ang Sang Hai
Tu Hi Bas Gair Hazir Hai
Guru Nanak Guru Nanak
Guru Nanak
Guru Nanak Is With You;
It’s Only You Who Are Absent.
Guru Nanak, Guru Nanak,
Guru Nanak.
Ke Na Likh Ke Hi Dassiya
Ja Sake Na Bol Ke
Ke Minti Vich Nahi Aunda
Ki Karenge Tol Ke
It can neither be expressed through written words nor speech.
It can’t be measured either;
What you will do by Weighing It?
O Kehnde Moorkha Duniya Taan
Chann Te Pahunch Gayi
Main Keha Akhan Band Kar
Dhyan Dhar Mehsoos Kar
They Say, “Fool, The World
Has Reached The Moon.”
I said, “Close Your Eyes,
Meditate, Feel It.”
Eh Masla Bahar Di Akh Da Nahi
Andar Da Hai
Main Keha Akhan Band Kar
Dhyan Dhar Mehsoos Kar
This Issue Isn’t of The External Eye;
It’s Internal.
I said, “Close Your Eyes,
Meditate, Feel His Presence.”
Ke Jhuthi Chaah Cho Nikaal
Haq Sach Di Dhoop Kar
Tu Hunn Takk Bolda Aaya Ae
Pehla Chup Kar
Emerge From False Desires,
Bask In The Sunlight Of Truth.
You’ve Been Speaking Until Now;
First, Become Silent.
Khilara Pai Gaya Ae
Kattha Kar Lai Waqt Naal
Ke Marna Aukha Ho ju
Moh Na Pa Ainna Jaagat Naal
Chaos has erupted;
Restore balance before time slips away.
Otherwise Dying might get difficult,
Don’t form such deep attachments to this world.
O Kehnde Khaa Lo Pee Lo
Saun Jao Lambiyaan Taan Ke
Main Keha Akhan Bandh Kar
Dhiaan Dhar Mehsoos Kar
They Say, “Eat, Drink,
Sleep Stretching Out.”
I said, “Close Your Eyes,
Meditate, Feel His Presence.”
Tamasha Takkda Takda Tu
Tamasha Bann Na Jaavin Oye
Ke Iss Duniyaan De Parde Te
Hamesha Kujh Nahi Rehnda
While witnessing the drama of life,
Don’t become the drama yourself.
On This World’s Stage,
Nothing Remains Forever.
Wahe Guru, Wahe Guru
Wahe Guru, Wahe Guru
Wahe Guru, Wahe Guru
Wahe Guru, Wahe Guru
Wahe Guru
Wahe Guru (Wonderful Lord), Wahe Guru
Wahe Guru, Wahe Guru
Wahe Guru, Wahe Guru
Wahe Guru, Wahe Guru
Wahe Guru
