The Great - Shiv Kumar Batalvi. 9 years ago I came across an interview of this guy, I had no idea who he was, his poems in that interview blew away my mind. And when I came to know that he died at such a young age of 36 in 1973, I literally cried. I was not a fan of Punjabi language before but this guy made me learn it and since then Shiv Kumar and his poems are a part of my life. I hope more people knew about this guy and his poems, which are used in most hit songs in Bollywood.

Ni ik meri akh kashni, Ni ik meri akh kashni.. Duja raat de uneedrey ne maareya.. Sheeshe nu trerr pai gai Vaal waundi ne dheyan jdo mareya.. Ni ik meri akh kashni.. Interlude Ik meri sass ni buri Bhaidi roi de kikar to kaali.. Galle kathe veer bhunndi Nit deve mere mapeyan nu gaali... Ni kehra os chandri da... Ni kehra os chandri da Ni mein lachiyan da baag ujaadeya.. Ni ik meri akh kashni.. Duja raat de uneedrey ne maareya.. Ik meri akh kashni.. Interlude Duja mera deor nikkda... Duja mera deor nikkda Bhaida goriyan ranna da shaunki.. Dhuk dhuk nede baithda Rakh sahmney rangeeni chaunki.. Ni ese gall to dardi... Ni ese gall to dardi Aje teek v na ghund nu utareya... Ni ik meri akh kashni Duja raat de uneedrey ne mareya.. Ik meri akh kashni... Interlude Teeja mera kant jiven... Teeja mera Kant jiven Raat channi ch dudh da katora... Fikkde sandhuri rang da Ohde naina ch gulabi dora... Ni iko gal maadi osdi... Ni iko gall maadi osdi Layi lagg nu hai maa ne vigaadeya Ni ik meri akh kashni Duja raat de uneedrey ne maareya.. Sheeshe nu trerr pai gyi Vaal waundi ne dheyan jdo mareya... Ni ik meri akh kashni.... Jiyunde raho.. :)

Who is listening in 2024?

You can't ignore her for long, she is Love. The quality of songs she has and continue to deliver, man she's a living legend. Lots of love and power to her.

Jasmine am addicted to this song. Being a Punjabi from Pakistan, I grew up listening Surinder Kaur songs because of parents choice and liking for her voice and singing. Now it's seems we are meant to love you enjoy Punjabi folk songs whenever we listen.

This masterpiece deserves way more views and likes! 👍👍 for Jasmine Sandlas! Beautiful voice

Our Punjabi girls still sing this song on weddings. love from pak

I am loving her voice. such dominating and punchy voice. Punjabi kudi hove te Jasmine wargi ni te na hove.. 😘😍

ENGLISH TRANSLATION - "Because My Eyes are Blue" (colour of chicory flowers) A song about how beauty can be a curse rather than a blessing, making female in laws jealous and spiteful and attracting unwanted attentions from male in laws. CHORUS: It's because I have blue eyes, That's the second night I haven't slept, The mirror is cracked (beauty is made ugly), I noticed when I was combing my hair, It's because I have blue eyes. VERSE 1: Firstly there’s my awful mother-in-law, The evil woman cried just because she has a complexion blacker than an Acacia tree (she is jealous) She tells slanderous stories about my brother All the time she abuses my parents Who is going to punish her for this? I vandalised her cardamom garden VERSE 2: Secondly there’s my younger brother-in-law, The evil man fancies fair women (he lusts after her), He nestles right up to me And presents me with ornate jewellery This behaviour causes me distress Till now, quite rightly, I haven’t lowered my veil. VERSE 3: Thirdly there is my husband who’s face at night under the moonlight looks pale as a bowl of milk, Who’s eyes are the colour of pale cinnabar with pink threads in, He has just one fault, His mother has spoilt him.

Out of all the versions this is the best version i've ever heared 😍😍😍😍

Anyone in july 2020..such a sick track..love how down to earth jasmine is though💖

Zabardast voice hai... OMG my bad luck i missed this for 4 years... unfortunate myself... 😍❤❤

ਮੈਂ ਜੈਸਮੀਨ ਜੀ ਦੇ ਇਸ ਗੀਤ ਨੂੰ ਬਹੁਤ ਪਸੰਦ ਕਰਦਾ ਹਾਂ ਸੈਂਕੜੇ ਵਾਰ ਇਸ ਗੀਤ ਨੂੰ ਸੁਣ ਚੁੱਕਿਆ ਹਾਂ, ਕਦੇ ਵੀ ਇਸ ਗੀਤ ਤੋਂ ਮਨ ਨਹੀ ਭਰਦਾ, ਬਹੁਤ ਹੀ ਸ਼ਾਨਦਾਰ ਗੀਤ 💐💐🌹❤❤❤❤❤🌹💐💐🙏🙏

'The vibe that this song gives is beyond the conventional dimensions,,, Love you' ❤️ jasmine ❤️ You nailed the Punjabi vocal font, 👌

Even i can listen this song with my husband and mother n law and can you imagine what happend in other seconds when that line comes ek meri saas ni buri pedii..... Suddenly my husband change the song and then he look at me wid these expressions 🙄😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 i love it yaarr maza agya saas ko chida kar

“A thing of beauty is joy forever”; beautiful performance and big applause to Shive Kumar Batalvi, who wrote this song. Only a native Punjabi can appreciate and enjoy this accent and song.

Huge respect and love..❤️🥺for this song!!Jasmine..

I just love this song ♥️. Nd you are my favourite jasmin di 🌸

Here I'm in the end of 2020 . Because this is iconic , love you Jasmine ❤

The beats remind me of “shape of you” song. If this song would had released after shape of you, people would have said the song is inspired from shape of you. Now, no one will say “shape of you” is inspired from this song.

Her voice is magical love it!! ❤️👍🏼

Jasmine, it's been a year since I first listened to this song but its ecstasy is getting higher and higher by the time. For me it's my driving Mantra now

I am not a Punjabi but her voice brings me here again and again...pure magic

Copied Translation from Original video: O dear I have hazel eyes and further I didn’t sleep at night The mirror broke when I saw it while combing my hair O dear I have hazel eyes First of all my mother in law is a bad person, her complexion is darker than acacias tree of Rohi (area in Pakistan, Cholistan Desert) Each word from her mouth is against my brothers and she continuously reviles my parents I don’t know why she is doing that, may be I ruined her cardamom garden O dear I have hazel eyes…… Secondly my younger brother in law is fond of fair women He tries to sit close to me, on closest chair or whatever Due to his flirting I have not dropped veil till this day O dear I have hazel eyes…… Thirdly my beloved husband is like a bowl of milk on the night of full moon His eyes have little lines of vermilion colour There is only one bad thing about him, that he believes without confirming and is spoiled by his mother O dear I have hazel eyes……
