Bandeya Ho...!

The song is in Saraiki language and it is written by Baba Bulley Shah

Bulley nu samjhawan aayan behna te bharjaiaan,
Munlay bullehya sada kehna chad de pala raiyaan
Aaale nabi Aulade nabi noo too kyoun leeka laiyaan
Jehra sano Sayed saday do zakh milan sazaiyaan

Raaeen Saaeen subhni Thaeee Rab diyan be parwaiyan
Sohiyaan pare hataian te kojiah lay Gul laiyaan
Jay tu Loray Baagh baharan Chakar ho ja raaiyan
Bulley shah di zaat ke puchni Shaakar ho Razaiaaan

Bandeyaaa hoooo ,Bandeya


The Meaning:
Bulle's sisters and bhabhiaan (sister in laws) came to convince him
Bulle, Please do as we tell you and leave raiyaan's (a caste) company

Why do you want to insult Prophet's and Ali's descendant (by having lower caste in your company)?
The one who address us as sayed will go to hell
But the one who addresses us as raiyaan will enjoy comforts of heaven

Raiyaan's and masters are born at every place, God doesn't discriminate against anyone
Beautiful people (at heart) don't care for such differences, only ugly ones do

If you need gardens of heaven, be servant to raiyaan's.
Why do you ask caste of Bulle Shah, he is grateful to God
