Here Is Why Abrar-ul-Haq Was A Lyrical Genius

Abrar-ul-Haq has remained an icon of Punjabi pop music in India and Pakistan over the years. Famous for his catchy tunes and hilarious lyrics, Abrar had the kind of brain no one else possessed. If you look at his lyrics closely and understand them, you will realize that only a genius could have thought about such things.

Here are a few examples.

WHEN ABRAR PROMISED HIS GIRL TO TAKE HER TO WORLD TOUR AND SHOPPING 

“IMF to’n qarza leh k saaray mulk phirawanga
World Bank da tarla pa k shopping v karwawanga”
(Aaja Ni Beh Ja Cycle Te)

So here, Abrar promises his girl to take a loan just to take her on a world tour and beg the World Bank to give him money for shopping. Genius.

WHEN ABRAR DESCRIBED THE GIRL’S EYES IN THE GREATEST POSSIBLE WAY

“Ik ik akh teri goli ay bandooq di
Man gaye tere nishanay nu
Ni teri nazar blade’aan wargi
Saanu v Treet karleh”
(Billo On GT Road)

Kitay udd na jaway karay raakhi tan di

Mukki payi”
(Patlo)

WHEN HE DEFINED SAAS BAHU RELATIONSHIP TO THE HUSBAND

“Nu sass ne mil kar tere karr atom bomb chalana ee
Tere seenay nu dohaan ne Chaghi Hill banana ee”
