Sidhu Moose Wala was a young, vibrant, and immensely talented Punjabi singer and lyricist who tragically lost his life at the age of 28 in what can be called one of the most brutal and senseless killings.
His music was a very close reflection of his own life which is very much evident from his song, “The Last Ride” which almost foretold his own untimely death.
Despite his brief time on this earth, Sidhu has left an indelible mark on the music industry and became a legend in his own right.
Personally speaking, I can never forget the courage and valor he showed in the face of raining bullets.
“We are here to laugh at the odds and live our lives so well that Death will tremble to take us.”

Sidhu Moose Wala’s Legacy ― 10 Motivational Punjabi Songs:―
1. East Side Flow by Sidhu Moose Wala
Oh Sikkhiya Street’an cho
Kitabban Vichon Padhya Na
The lyrics of this song are a poignant reminder that some of life’s most valuable lessons are learned from the streets, not from the books. And that’s so true. The street can be a difficult and demanding instructor, But it teaches things that can’t be learned from any written text.
Sidhu further expresses, “I may have started small, but I have fought the mightiest.”
In his words,
Tinka Aukaat Si Par
Pahad’an Nal Ladya Ni
The song is gritty and raw, with a strong beat and an infectious energy that will leave you empowered enough to take on the world.
2. GAME by Shooter Kahlon and Sidhu Moose Wala
Oh Dekh Maada Time Tera Dil Katon Ghatt Da
Time Nahio Daur Ayaa Moose Aale Jatt Da
This Punjabi song by Sidhu Moose Wala and Shooter Kahlon inspires us to work towards turning our dreams into reality. It’s a call to action to work towards making our aspirations a reality, no matter how big or small.
In addition, it encourages us to keep our focus entirely on our actions while remaining detached from the result. In the words of Sidhu and Sikander,
Ho Ajj Chadd Ohda Kujh Kal Vi Ni Banda
Mehnat To Bina Jidi Nigah Hundi Phal Te
It’s a powerful song for anyone looking to break free from the status quo and make their dreams a reality
3. Just Listen by Sidhu Moose Wala
Meri Maa Mera Rabb Jihdi Kokhon Hoya Paida
Ohne Zindagi Jyon Da Sikhaya Ikko Kayeda
Jithe Teri Puttra zameer Mukk Gayi
Ho Mar Jaavin Othe Koyi jeeyun Da Ni Fayeda
The quoted words above mean, My mother is my guiding light, from whose womb I was born. She taught me to strictly follow one rule while navigating through life.
“My dear child,” she would say, “let the day your conscience is silenced be the day you die, for without a conscience, life holds no purpose.”
I highly recommend listening to this song. Its uplifting and inspiring lyrics give the boost of motivation and self-empowerment we all sometimes need.
4. SATISFY by Sidhu Moose Wala and Shooter Kahlon
Jinna Ditta Malik Ne Satisfy
This song by Sidhu Moose Wala and Shooter Kahlon will fill you with a sense of contentment and gratitude for the blessings in your life. The lyrics express a deep appreciation for the journey of life, the tears and laughter, and the realization that it is important to be grateful for everything, without complaining.
In the words of Sidhu and Shooter Kahlon,
Hasse Vi Bhatere
Hanju Khare Vi Bahe
Ohdi Raza Vich Rahe Aa
Kade Bahre Ni Gaye
It’s sure to leave you feeling emotionally uplifted.
5. LEVELS by Sidhu Moose Wala ft Sunny Malton
Jinna Naal Compare Kare
Saade Level De Ni Haan Diye
I highly recommend this one from Sidhu, its lyrics beautifully convey the importance of self-confidence and self-reliance. The song highlights the idea that one should not compare themselves to others, and instead focus on honing their own unique talents and abilities.
The lyrics emphasise that gaining limelight through paid collaborations is not something to boast about,
In the words of Sidhu Moose Wala,
Paid Collab’an Karke
Chobbar Karda Nahio Chaud Kude
Solo Dolo Move Kare
The song is truly empowering and motivating, making it a must-listen for anyone looking to gain inspiration and boost self-esteem.
6. Built Different by Sidhu Moose Wala
Ni Main Ohna Naal Ni Behnda
Jehde Saareyan Naal Behnde Ne
The lyrics of this song beautifully capture the theme of individuality and standing out from the crowd. It encourages the listeners to embrace their unique qualities and not conform to people’s expectations at the cost of losing themselves.
The quoted words above mean,
“I don’t sit with them, who sit with everyone.”
Another line states that I will not be auctioned like a commodity in the marketplace, for my art is a reflection of my individuality, setting me apart from other artists.
In the words of Sidhu,
Oh Laggni Ni Boli Meri
Lok’an Deya Bazaran Ton
Eho Kalakari Meri
Main Wakh Kalakaran Te
The song’s message is powerful and relevant for anyone who has ever felt pressure to fit in.
7. Legend by Sidhu Moose Wala
Young’aan Vich Age Aayundi Mithiye
Te Legend’an ch Aaunda Tera Yaar Ni
The quoted words above mean, though he is still young, his name echoes with the tales of legends. 2 years have passed since the release of his song. Tragically, he is no longer with us, but his legacy endures, his name forever immortalized in the annals of time,
His words did come true. Indeed, “Young’aan Vich Age Aayundi Mithiye, Te Legend’an ch Aaunda Tera Yaar Ni.”
8. Forget About It by Sidhu Moose Wala
Kinve Na Kinve Si Chaunde Piche Sanu Launa
Tusi Bhool Jo
Bhul Jo, Eh Din Kadey Nahio Aona
Forget about it by Sidhu is a reminder of the resilience and determination that lies within us all. The lyrics speak of not letting others define us and refusing to be held back by obstacles or naysayers. The song’s message is clear: to never give up and keep pushing forward, no matter what challenges come our way.
My favorite words from the song are when Sidhu says, I have been silent and inactive but I am not dead yet.
In the words of Sidhu Moosewala,
Low Key Life Ch Yaqeen RakhdaChup Si Zaroor Par Mareya Ni Main
It’s a powerful statement of resilience and determination.
9. SAAB by Sidhu Moose Wala and Gurtaj
Labh Ke Koyi Naukri Tu Saab Banja
Pind Bada Aukha Mitti Naal Marna
The song ‘Saab’ by Sidhu is a powerful and moving anthem about the struggles of the farmers. The lyrics, sung from the perspective of a father who is a farmer, are a heartfelt call to his son to break free from the hardships of working in the village and find a job as an officer.
The song speaks to the deep longing we all have for a life filled with purpose and opportunity, The powerful message of the song and the emotive delivery of the lyrics are sure to make it one of your all-time favorites.
