Chamba

Oh, to apply kohl and to lower one's gaze

It takes immense courage to even try and grab this wrist

If anyone looks at us with ill intent, we directly confront them

Raised with immense love, we live with [Ankh: a fierce sense of honor and self-respect]

Today, the hawk is the prey of the sparrows

Letters of defiance have been written to the entire sky

What use is [Surma: traditional kohl/eyeliner]

What use is [Surma: traditional kohl/eyeliner]

On our eyes, for our gazes are as sharp as daggers

I haven't just learned how to throw [Nakhra: coquettish charms/feigned arrogance]

I have also learned how to load guns

This [Jattiye: female of the Jatt community] hasn't just learned charms

I have also learned how to load guns

I haven't just learned how to throw [Nakhra: coquettish charms/feigned arrogance]

I have also learned how to load guns

I know how to explain the brutal aftermath of a bullet

I don't just know how to give measurements for suits

I know when to celebrate and when to strike fear

This [Jattiye: female of the Jatt community] knows exactly whose bolts need tightening

We drive the car over the enemy with deliberate precision

We haven't forgotten the taunts; the time to settle scores hasn't passed

Moreover, my father's four words of wisdom keep my mind sharp

Your heart shouldn't waver, for I follow my father's teachings

A heart as strong as a pillar beats within this chest

Even if we appear small in stature

What use is [Surma: traditional kohl/eyeliner]

What use is [Surma: traditional kohl/eyeliner]

On our eyes, for our gazes are as sharp as daggers

I haven't just learned how to throw [Nakhra: coquettish charms/feigned arrogance]

I have also learned how to load guns

This [Jattiye: female of the Jatt community] hasn't just learned charms

I have also learned how to load guns

I haven't just learned how to throw [Nakhra: coquettish charms/feigned arrogance]

I have also learned how to load guns

Oh, a frenzy was created and the clouds trembled back then

When the sparrows tore through the hawk's grip

I don't want to walk away while you beg for mercy

That is why I fired shots in broad daylight yesterday

Only sons were once the pride, but now daughters bring glory

Oh father, those times and that country are no more

Do not discriminate against us in any way

They are no longer superior to us in any single aspect

We enter every battlefield with our heads held high

We have won so many legendary wars

What use is [Surma: traditional kohl/eyeliner]

What use is [Surma: traditional kohl/eyeliner]

On our eyes, for our gazes are as sharp as daggers

I haven't just learned how to throw [Nakhra: coquettish charms/feigned arrogance]

I have also learned how to load guns

This [Jattiye: female of the Jatt community] hasn't just learned charms

I have also learned how to load guns

I haven't just learned how to throw [Nakhra: coquettish charms/feigned arrogance]

I have also learned how to load guns

I have also learned how to load guns

I have also learned how to load guns
