Sheesha chanak gaya mere dil da
Par kise nu khabar na hoyi
Jis nu sab ton apna samjheya
Ohi mere dard da sabab nikleya
Dard da hisaab kise nu dasya nahi
Sirhana hi mera raazdaar ban gaya
Raat ne mainu tanha chhad ditta
Neend vi yaadan naal turr gayi
Tere waade sare jhoothe nikle
Main sach samajh ke jeeunda raha
Hanju hun sharma ke rukde ne
Akhan tak aake mud jaande ne
Kanch de tukde wangu bikhreya main
Jo chuve oh vi zakhmi ho jave
Tere bina din lambe lagde ne
Raatan hor vi bhaari lagdiyan ne
Haal kise nu dasna chhad ditta
Hun khud naal hi gallan karda haan
Sab kehnde tu ta hasda rehnda ae
Andar da mausam kise ne na dekheya
Umeed di lau hun bujh gayi ae
Hawavan naal vi shikwa nahi rahi
Teri gali ch ajj vi jaanda haan
Yaadan de naal akela ghumda haan
Zakham purane ho gaye par
Dard ajj vi navan jeha lagda
Ohnu kade pata hi na lagya
Kinna zyada chaheya si maine
Rab kolon mangeya ohnu hi si
Rab ne hi ohnu door kar ditta
Bhulan di koshish roz karda haan
Par yaadan peecha chhaddiyan hi nahi
Bharosa hun soch ke karda haan
Apneyan ne hi sabak sikhaya ae
Khushiyan ne rasta bhula ditta
Dard mere ghar da pata jaande
Jinna ne kiha tere naal haan
Ohi sab ton pehla saath chhad gaye

Muskaan da naqab
Dard nu chhupa leyanda
Ohdiyan yaadan
Zakham hare kar dindiyan
Kujh gallan adhooriyan
Umar bhar saath chalde ne
Tanhai di raat
Bahut lambi hundi ae
Dil ne har umeed
Chupke jehi vida kar ditti
Ohdi ik tasveer
Ajj vi neend khohndi ae
Waqt langh gaya
Par intezaar ohi ae
Dard hun mehmaan nahi
Ghar da mahaul ban gaya
Ik kursi khaali
Yaaran di mehfil ch
Sukoon labhda haan
Par milda kite nahi
Khat purane
Ajj vi ohdi khushboo rakhde
Bhulna chahunda haan
Par dil nahi mandda
Har hasi de peeche
Ik adhoora dard lukeya
Mod ohi ae
Bas tu hun nahi
Sab door ho gaye
Jad mainu lod si
Dil ne chup ch
Alvida keh ditta
Ohde naam naal ajj vi
Dil ik pal thamm jaanda
Chann vi ajj
Adhoora adhoora lagda ae
Khamosh raatan ch
Yaadan zor naal bolde ne

Wada karke oh chala gaya
Main dehleez te baitha reha
Chah thandi hoyi, raat langh gayi
Par oh raah kade na mudeya
Khud nu roz samjhaunda haan
Ki sab theek ho jauga
Par shaam hunde hi dil kehnda
Kaash oh ik vaar mud aave
Jis nu sab kujh sompeya main
Ohne kujh vi na rakheya
Ajj khaali hath khada haan
Bas yaadan hi mere kol reh gayiyan
Teriyan gallan sunan layi
Kann ajj vi taras de ne
Phone di ghanti jad vajje
Dil ik pal thamm jaanda
Bewafai da koi gila nahi
Bas ik afsos reh gaya
Main jo vi ditta si sab
Ohnu us di kadar hi na si
Dhupp vi hun chaanv lagdi ae
Chann vi hun feeka lagda
Jad ton oh mera na raheya
Har mausam hi begana lagda
Ghar ch sab haan, par
Dil de kamre ch chuppi ae
Ik gal jo keh na sakeya
Oh hi hun sab ton zyada bolde
Purani photo dekh ke
Muskaan vi hanju ban gayi
Kise ne poochya kee hoyeya
Main keha, bas thakaan ae
Raah ch vichhad gaye jo
Oh phir kade na mile
Manzil ta mil gayi par
Humsafar hi peeche reh gaye
Koi mainu samajh na sakeya
Main khud nu vi na samjheya
Dard da ik shehar vasaya
Jithe sirf main hi raheya
Chitthiyan ajj vi sambhal ke rakhiyan
Har lafz ch ohdi khushboo ae
Par jis nu likhiyan si
Oh pata badal ke turr gaya
Ik hasi layi sab haar ditta
Ohne haar nu mazaak samjheya
Dil ne fir vi kuj na keha
Chup reh ke dard nu piya
Raatan nu chann nu takda haan
Shaayad oh vi ohnu takda howe
Faasla ta bahut ae dilan ch
Par aasman ik hi ae sadda
Zindagi ch kujh log aunde ne
Bas dard dena hi ohna da kam
Aunde ne, hasaunde ne, apna bande ne
Te sab loot ke turr jaande ne
Dil de darwaze te
Kade ohdi dastak hundi si
Hun hawa vi khadke ta
Dil ohi samajh ke jaag jaanda
Rona chahunda haan par
Hanju ohde naal chale gaye
Ik sukhi jehi muskaan
Bas ehi mere kol reh gayi
Sanjhi si ik chaa te
Sanjhiyan si kai raatan
Hun chaa ch cheeni ae
Par swaad ohde bina feeka
Ohde layi shikayat koi nahi
Bas ik gal dil chubhdi
Jad main doob reha si
Ohne mud ke vi na dekheya
Umar langhdi jaandi ae
Yaadan hor jawaan ho rahiyan
Dil vi hun boodha ho gaya
Par dard ajj vi jawaan ae
Punjabi Sad Shayari On Life

Life teaches in strange ways. Most lessons come wrapped in tears. This Punjabi Sad Shayari on life speaks about thakaan, sabar and second chances. If you are having a heavy week, these lines are for you. Share them with someone who needs a reminder.
Zindagi ne roz nawa sabak dita
Par fees hamesha dil ton lai
Sukh ne der laayi aun ch
Dukh ne bina dastak ghar vasa leya
Zindagi di kitaab da har panna
Naveen imtihaan lai ke aunda ae
Raste badle, chehre badle
Par thakaan ohi purani rahi
Hasna sikh leya sab de saamne
Rona sikh leya bandh kamre ch
Zindagi ne hath pakadya ta si
Par saath dena bhul gayi
Kise ne mainu sikhaya nahi
Thokraan ne hi mere ustaad banaye
Waqt ne sab kujh chhinneya
Bas hosla mere kol chhadd ditta
Jis umar ch khwaab dekhne si
Us umar ch farz nibhaune pe gaye
Khushi di dukaan te bahut bheed si
Meri jeb vich sirf sabar si
Har koi apni jung ch lagga
Kise kol mere layi waqt nahi
Rozi layi ghar chhadya main
Ghar ch rehna hi bhul gaya
Zindagi ik bhulekha hai
Har mod te ik nava dhokha
Chehre te hasi lai firda haan
Jeb ch sirf thakaan lai firda haan
Umeedan di dor kachi si
Fir vi hath ton chhaddi nahi
Sabak mile bahut saare
Par keemat mere dil ne chukayi
Ajj vi din nikalda ae
Par andar di subah kithe gayi
Jo apne si, oh begane nikle
Jo begane si, oh saath nibha gaye
Zindagi ton hun sawaal nahi
Bas ik shant jeha jawab chahida

Dil di gal jubaan te aundi
Par shabd raah ch hi ruk jaande
Pind di gali te maa da chehra
Ajj vi hanjuyan ch tarda ae
Baapu di chup ch
Kinne sawaal lukke hunde ne
Bahut kujh keh dinda haan main
Par jo asal si oh reh jaanda
Ik tarikh jo bhulda nahi
Har saal dard nava kar jaandi
Hanju ni vagde, par
Dil andar hi bhijj janda
Kise da hona hi kaafi si
Hun na hona samjhaya nahi jaanda
Sab nu sambhaleya main
Mainu kise ne sambhaleya nahi
Chhoti jehi ik gal si
Par dil te vadda zakham kar gayi
Mehfilan ch hasda haan
Ghar aa ke thakaan bolde ne
Ik call di ummeed ch
Phone nu roz takda haan
Rooh thak gayi ae
Jism ajj vi chal reha
Dard nu zubaan mil jaave
Ta shayad hulka ho jaave
Bahar ton mazboot haan
Andar ton bilkul khaali haan
Jinna layi main zinda si
Oh ajj mainu bhul gaye
Pardes ch ik dhup bahut
Par ghar wali chaanv kitho
Dil ne sab kujh sunia
Par bola kujh vi nahi
Kise nu kehna vi ni aunda
Meri kami da ehsaas karo
Rooh ton roz thodi thodi
Ik yaad chura ke lai jaandi

Tere naal jeena si khwaab mera
Tere bina jeena hi zindagi bani
Mohabbat ch sab kujh haar dita
Par tu jeetan da haq vi na dita
Ohnu chaheya main rab warga
Ohne mainu raah da patthar samjheya
Judaai da ik hi arth ae
Tera naam hai te tu nahi
Tera intezaar hun aadat ae
Par tera aana hi bhul gaya
Pyaar sachcha si mera
Bas tere layi sasta ban gaya
Ohde ishq ch fana ho gaye
Ohnu shaayad pata hi na laga
Tere ton bina shehar sunna
Har gali ch teri yaad khadi
Ishq ne sikhaya jeena
Fir ishq ne hi maar ditta
Ohde hasde chehre di khaatir
Main apne hanju vi pi gaya
Kasmaan khaan wale
Ajj kasam da matlab bhul gaye
Ik tera saath hi mangeya si
Baaki sab kujh ohnu de ditta
Pyaar hoya ae ohnu hor naal
Te mainu apne aap ton nafrat
Jis di dua kardi haan
Ohi mainu duaava ch bhul gaya
Tu ni mile ta ki hoya
Ishq ta phir vi tere naal ae
Chupke chupke chaheya tainu
Kise nu kade dasya hi nahi
Tere bina hasi vi nakli
Te hanju vi adhoore lagde ne
Ohde vaade hawa ban gaye
Meri umeed ret di nishani
Tera haath chhuteya te
Zindagi da har raah chhoot gaya

Chup haan ta sabr ae mera
Bolan lagya ta gal khatam
Sadi kadar ohnu hi hovegi
Jo sadde ton door ho gaya
Main ohna wangu nahi
Jo bheed ch gum ho jande ne
Sher da ik hi rehnda ae
Jhund ch rehna geedran da kam
Bhaave lakh dushman hon
Meri chaal ch farq nahi
Jitthe izzat na hove
Othe hazri bharni chhad ditti
Apni marzi da maalik haan
Kise de hukam di lod nahi
Rishtean ch sirf sach chalda
Jhooth da main hissa nahi
Sadi khamoshi nu na chhedo
Ohde peeche toofan chhupe ne
Mainu jhukaun di koshish na kar
Meri reerh di haddi kadi ae
Jo gaya, ohnu jaan de
Darwaza band, dil vi band
Main chalda rehna ae
Rasta khud bana laina ae
Dhoka dena aasan hunda
Par bhulana mere naal mushkil
Kise di tareef di lod nahi
Mera kirdar hi mera saboot
Sadde tevar nu vekh ke
Kai chehreyan di hasi ud gayi
Waqt bura ta hai par
Mera hosla ohton vi vadda
Pyaar ch ta nimm ho jaanda
Par izzat te kade nahi
Mera swabhimaan meri jaan
Ohton upar kujh vi nahi
Jadon faasla bann jaanda ae
Ohde layi main nahi rehnda

Punjabi haan, dil dariya
Par izzat te sada pehra
Naam ban gaya ae mera
Bina kise di sifarish de
Jitthe ho jaave meri qadar
Bas ohthe hi mera thikana
Hasde hasde sabak sikhaunda
Ehi meri pehchaan ae
Rasta apna banaunda haan
Kise di nakal mainu na aundi
Sanu na tol paisean ch
Sadi keemat nazran ch nahi
Dosti nu dil ton nibhaunda
Dushmani nu vi shaan naal
Bura waqt aunda jaanda
Mera mizaaj ohi rehnda
Mera hi haan main
Kise de rang ch na rangeya
Shukar ae rab da
Mainu apne wargi hi banayeya
Jo dooran ho gaya
Ohnu hun nazar na paana
Sadi soch ae sadi shaan
Kise di raye ton ni dar
Bulandi da nasha hor ae
Jad zameen naal jud ke chalo
Dil da saaf te zubaan da khari
Eh ae sadi sab ton vaddi kamayi
Chaal ch rab da rang
Nazar ch pind di sharam
Muskaan meri hathiyaar ae
Dushmani di gal hi khatam
Log jalde ne ta jaan dio
Sadde naam da hi kamaal
Sada andaz hi sada saboot
Sifarish di sadde kade lod nahi
Har haar ton fer utha
Har jit ton pehla shukrana
Old Punjabi Sad Shayari

Charkha ruk gaya, dhaage tutt gaye
Birha ne dil vich ghar kar leya
Pipal di chaanve baithi
Yaad ohde sang vi uthdi
Kaan bulaunda kaaga bolda
Par ohda sandesha kade na aaya
Ranjhe wangu jogi ban gaye
Par Heer da pata ni labbeya
Khuh te bhare ghade gawah ne
Meri akhan ch vi paani si
Bebe di lori yaad aundi
Hun neend vi pardes ch rehndi
Pind di gali sunni ho gayi
Jad ton yaar shehran nu gaya
Chitthi ch likhe alfaaz
Ajj vi dil nu rula jaande
Sanjhe chulhe wali raatan
Ajj sirf kahaniyan ban gayiyan
Vichhora ohnu sahu ni ho reha
Dil da rog labbha na hakeem
Dholki di thaap te
Dil ne birhe de geet gaye
Kanak di fasal wangu
Yaadan pakiyan par kaatiyan nahi
Puraane dinaan di dosti
Ajj tasveeran ch hi milde ne
Maa di godi da sukoon
Duniya ch labh ke vi na mileya
Sohne yaar di udeek ch
Dehleez te umar langh gayi
Dupatte di gandh vich
Puraani mohabbat ajj vi jeewe
Haan kade ik ghar si
Hasde vasde chehreyan naal
Baagan ch koyal chup ae
Kise ne birha da gaana chhediya
Raatan chiraag jalaya
Par jinne aana si oh na aaye

Punjabi Sad Shayari In English

Not everyone reads Punjabi comfortably, and that is fine. These English lines carry the same Punjabi Sad Shayari mood in simple words. They are easy to post as captions or send in a message. Use them as they are, or translate them your own way. Tell us which one you will share first.
I smile at everyone all day
Then break quietly when night arrives
Some people leave without a goodbye
Their silence hurts more than any word
I kept your promises safe
You never kept even one of mine
My heart still waits at that old door
Though it knows you are not coming
Missing you is my daily routine now
No one ever taught me how to stop
I told the world I am fine
The mirror knows I am lying
Your memory is a guest
Who never asks before staying the night
I asked for your time, not words
Words were easy, time was not
Tears learned to hide inside my eyes
Just like I learned to hide my pain
We shared one sky and one moon
Now we don’t share even a message
The house is full of people
My heart is still completely empty
I gave you my whole world
You gave me only a lesson
Some wounds do not show up
Yet they hurt every single day
Loving you was my easiest choice
Forgetting you is my hardest one
I never lost you in a day
You slipped away in small silences
One old song plays somewhere
And my heart stops for a second
I still save your seat
In every crowd I sit in
They ask why I am quiet now
I say the words have left me
Love gave me one gift
A heart that remembers too much
