Koi Bole Ram Ram Lyrics
Koi Bole Ram Ram, Koii Khudaaye
Koee Sevai Gusaiyan, Koi Allahe
Hindu people call him Ram, and some others call Him Khuda.
Some serve Him as ‘Gusain’ and Muslims call him ‘Allaah’.
Kaaran Karan Kareem,
Kirpa Dhaar Raheem
Almighty Lord is the Cause of causes.
He showers His Blessings and Clemency upon us.
Koi Nahavai Teerath, Koi Hajj Jaaye
Koi Kare Pooja, Koi Sir Nivaaye
Some bathe at sacred shrines of pilgrimage such as Gange, and some make the pilgrimage to Mecca (the birthplace of Muhammad it is the holiest city of Islam).
Some perform pious worship services, and some bow their heads in prayer.
Koi Padhe Bed, Koi Kateb.
Koi Odhai Neel, Koi Supaid
Some read the Vedas (Sacred books of Hindus), and some the Koran (Sacred book of Islam).
People wear different colors of clothes. Some wear blue, and others white.
Koi Kahe Turq Koi Kahe Hindu.
Koi Baachhai Bhist, Koi Surgindu
Some call themselves Muslim, and some call themselves Hindu.
Some have desires for Bahisht ( Jannat, Islamic heaven), and others long for Surgindu (Swarg-Indu: Heaven owned by Lord Indra).
Kaho Naanak Jin Hukam Pachhaata.
Prabh Sahib Ka Tin Bhed Jaata.
Says Nanak, one who identifies God’s Will,
knows the secrets of Almighty God.
Original Text in Gurmukhi
Punjabi Translation of Koi Bole Ram Ram…
ਕਈ ਸੁਆਮੀ ਨੂੰ ਰਾਮ, ਰਾਮ ਆਖਦੇ ਹਨ ਅਤੇ ਕਈ ਖੁਦਾ।
ਕਈ ਉਸਨੂੰ ਗੁਸਾਈਂ ਜਾਣ ਸੇਵਦੇ ਹਨ ਤੇ ਕਈ ਅੱਲ੍ਹਾ ਜਾਣ।
ਉਹ ਸਬਬਾਂ ਦਾ ਸਬਬ ਅਤੇ ਦਾਤਾਰ ਹੈ।
ਕਈ ਮਿਹਰ ਕਰਨ ਵਾਲੇ ਦਾ ਜਿਕਰ ਕਰਦੇ ਹਨ ਅਤੇ ਕਈ ਮਿਹਰਬਾਨ ਦਾ। ਠਹਿਰਾਓ।
ਕਿਤਨੇ ਹਿੰਦੂਆਂ ਵਾਲੀ ਉਪਾਸ਼ਨਾ ਕਰਦੇ ਹਨ ਅਤੇ ਕਈ ਮੁਸਲਮਾਨੀ ਤਰੀਕੇ ਨਾਲ ਸੀਸ ਨਿਵਾਉਂਦੇ ਹਨ।
ਕਈ ਵੇਦਾਂ ਨੂੰ ਵਾਚਦੇ ਹਨ ਅਤੇ ਕਈ ਮੁਸਲਮਾਨੀ, ਈਸਾਈ, ਮੂਸਾਈ, ਮਜ਼ਹਬੀ ਕਿਤਾਬਾਂ ਨੂੰ।
ਕਈ ਨੀਲੇ ਕੱਪੜੇ ਪਾਉਂਦੇ ਹਨ ਅਤੇ ਕਈ ਚਿੱਟੇ।
ਇਕ ਮੁਸਲਮਾਨੀ ਬਹਿਸ਼ਤ ਨੂੰ ਚਾਹੁੰਦਾ ਹੈ ਅਤੇ ਇਕ ਹਿੰਦੂਆਂ ਦੇ ਸੁਰਗ ਨੂੰ।
ਗੁਰੂ ਜੀ ਫਰਮਾਉਂਦੇ ਹਨ, ਜੋ ਵਾਹਿਗੁਰੂ ਦੀ ਰਜਾ ਨੂੰ ਅਨੁਭਵ ਕਰਦਾ ਹੈ,
ਉਹ ਸੁਆਮੀ ਮਾਲਕ ਦੇ ਭੇਤ ਨੂੰ ਜਾਣ ਲੈਂਦਾ ਹੈ।

Review Breakdown

Blissful
This…is incredible. I only wish that all religions could attempt to realize their similarities and to settle their differences peacefully. I am not in the least a religious person but this song touches me deeply every time that I hear it. Please, let us end these pointless wars and unite together as one.
Absolutely stunning
इतना सरल पर फिर भी हम दुनियादार पता नहीं क्यों उन मालिक के प्यारों या यह कहूँ कि मालिक के रूप में आये उन मालिक के संतों, भक्तों या गुरुओं के पवित्र बचनों या वाणी पर अमल नहीं करते ?
May God bless everyone with goodness towards all and unity of all in His love and service. This beautiful Gurbani should be recited by every human being and lived upon in letter and spirit always.
