lyrics
Ghunghat Olay naa luk sajna
Mein mushtaq deedar di haa
(Hide not behind the veil, my love,
I long to have a glimpse of you)
Ghunghat olay naa luk sajna
Mein mushtaq deedar di haa
(Hide not behind the veil, my love,
I long to have a glimpse of you)
Teray baaj deewani ho e
Tokaa kar de lok sabho e
(Without my love, I feel like I am mad,
People around me laugh at me.)
Jeykar yaar kary dil joi
Taa faryad pukaar di haa
(He should come and cheer me up,
This alone remains my plea,)
Ghunghat olay naa luk sajna
Mein mushtaq deedar di haa
(Hide not behind the veil, my love,
I long to have a glimpse of you)
Muft dukaandi jaandi baandhi
Mil maahi jind
Mil maahi jind
Mil maahi jind aivay jaandi
(Your slave is being auctioned off for
free
Come my love
Come my love
Come my love and rescue me)
Ghunghat olay naa luk sajna
Mein mushtaq deedar di haa
(Hide not behind the veil, my love,
I long to have a glimpse of you)

This group, comprised of Hungary's top musicians, most notably drum sensation, Gergo Borlai, is quite possibly one of the most exciting, melodic and seriously musically heavy bands I've ever heard. Mekaal Hasan Band
