Sawan Aya

Punjabi Teej Songs
Sawan Aya Ni
Ral auo sahio ni,
Sabh tian khedan jaiye
Hun aya sawan ni
Pinghan piplin ja ke paiye
Pai ku ku kardi ni,
Sahio koel Hanju dolhe
Papiha wekho ni,
Bherha pee-pee kar ke bole.
Paye pailan pande ni,
Bagi moran shor machaya.
Arhio khil khil phaulan ne,
Sanu mahia yad kariya.

English Translation
Come on all friends!
Let's go and play Tian,
The Sawan Heartens us,
Let us hang the swings on the Peepal.
Swinging ku-ku O friends!
The cuckoo sheds its tears
And behold this Papiha
Which goes on singing pia-pia.
The peacock dances gleefully
Filling the garden with its crowings
These wretched blossoming flowers
Remind us of our Ranjan.

Sawan da Mahina
"Sawan Da Mahina Din Giddha De Sabhe Sahalyan
Aiyan Nachan Kundan, Jhutan Pingan Piyan Vadiyan
Gharan Diya Jaiyan Bhij Gai Rooh Mitra Sham Ghatan Chad Aiyan".
(Songs describing the scene while making merry)

Mere Veer Nu
(Song to welcome the sawan festival)
Sase Teri Mahen Marh Jaye,
Mere Veer Nu Sukhi Khand Payee."

Arey Hai Hai Yeh Majboori
Film: Roti, Kapda aur Makan
(Song showing desperation to meet her lover)
Are hai hai yeh majboorii, yeh mausam aur yeh doori mujhe pal pal hai tadpaaye
Teri do takiyan di naukri te mera lakhon kaa saawan jaaye re
Are hai hai yeh majboori.

Kitne saawan beet gaye, baithi hoon aas lagaaye
Kiss saawan mein mile sajanwa, woh saawan kab aaye kab aaye
Madhur milan kaa yeh saawan hathon se nikla jaaye
O teri do takiyan te mera lakhon kaa saawan jaaye re.

Prem ka aisa bandhan hai jo bandh ke phir naa toote
Are naukari kaa hai kya bharosa, aaj mile kal chhoote, kal choote
Ambar pe hai dhara swayam aur phir bhi too ghabraye
O teri do takiyan te mera lakhon kaa saawan jaaye re.
