Verse
Show toh baad kardi a dosta nu call. // After the show she calls up her friends
Kehndi, "Aj ni mai aa ri raati ghar" // and says I’m not coming home tonight
Oh mere naal baigi. // she comes and sits next to me
Mere naal ravey khush. // she’s happy when she’s with me
Mere naal mere yaar. // my friends are with me

Time chaley galat te ohnu mehngi ghadi kar sakdi ni sahi. // if you’re inner clock is running in the wrong direction even an expensive watch cannot save you

Mai hasda behisaab. // It makes me laugh
Paiseya naal badalde vekhe insaan. // I’ve seen money change people
Aj ni mere naal oh pehle din waale yaar // I’ve lost my day ones
Aj v ohi gal baat te jdo tura baar // Even when I step outside
Ohi aj naar, mud k aa vekhdi a mainu // People turn around and stare at me
Jedi pehla mainu kehndi c anjaan.// Those who used to call me a stranger before my success
Duniya ve chaldi aa jeba anusaar. // The world runs according to how heavy your wallet
Lak te ni marda mai kam kra hard // I refuse to get complacent I keep working hard
Luck te ni marda mai kam kra hard // I don’t get lucky I keep working hard
