Nazir Josh performance in Delhi on Youtube...


for those who face language disability ...the song goes:

Kath on may eez peth nazraan sahbo...
Kath on may eez peth nazraan sahbo...

praris osukh zan khari farman sahbo..
Zan osuk tchapyaw khyomut trambaan sahbo...
Az kal chuk sone sike zan chakraan sahbo
Kath onmay eez peth nazraan sahbo

selli manz yeli osukh teli zan osukh moomut
Tankha ponsan peth osukh machran khyomut
Az chukh sarkary khazanay paan sahbo
Kath onmay eez peth nazraan sahbo

Bab osuy dul hyeth neraan bate sombrawaan
Menz menz os dargah wati peth tremi thawaan
Az chukh yemi shahruk bod insaan sahbo
Kath on may eez peth nazraan sahbo... 

Translated in English:

I bring you a sheep as an eid gift  sahib!
I bring you a sheep as an eid gift  sahib!

The other day you were a 'khari farmaan' (untranslatable Kashmiri slang) sahib
You then resembled a badly bitten copper vessel sahib
Now you fling gold coins in the air sahib
I bring you a sheep as an eid gift sahib!

While you were in the cell you were as good as dead
You had to live off your meagre salary and were smitten by flies
Now you are the the sarkari treasury in person sahib
I bring you a sheep as an eid gift sahib!

You father used to collect rice door-to-door in a begging bowl
At times he even used spread out a huge plate in Hazratbal soliciting alms
Now you are a respectible citizen of this town sahib
I bring you a sheep as an eid gift sahib!
