Kishna sends a letter from Kala Paani prison
*The Cellular Jail (known as Kala Paani in Hindi) was a prison in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, India, used by the British to exile political prisoners.
Badla Le Lai Sohneya Je Maa Da Jaya
Badla Le Lai Sohneya Je Maa Da Jaya
Take revenge, my dear, if you're the son of your mother
Naal Yaar De Yaar Ne Yaar Maar Hai Kiti
A friend did betrayal with another friend
Vadh Ke Murga Katheyan Si Daru Piti
Dogar Dhokha Kar Geya Pagh Vata Ke
Dogar betrayed me after switching turbans
Sadh Budhladeo Police Nu Hathkari Lava Ke
He called the police from Budhlada and got me handcuffed
Paar Samundron Jail Vich Mainu Pejh Vaya
He sent me to jail across the sea
Badla Le Lai Sohneya Je Maa Da Jaya
Take revenge, my dear, if you're the son of your mother
Naal Yaar De Yaar Ne Yaar Maar Hai Kiti
A friend did betrayal with another friend
Vadh Ke Murga Katheyan Si Daru Piti
We shared drinks after cooking a rooster
Nashe Naal Si Dak Ke Sadh Police Le Aya
Nashe Naal Si Dak Ke Sadh Police Le Aya
He brought over the police after intoxicating me
Badla Le Lai Sohneya Je Maa Da Jaya
Take revenge, my dear, if you're the son of your mother
Je Na Dogar Maareya Morha Rehna Nakk Nahi
If you don't kill Dogar, we can't live with our nose up
Duniya Utte Jeon Da Pher Sada Hakk Nahi
We would have no right to live in this world
Karu Shareeka Tichraan Je Na Paar Bulaya
Our close mates will taunt us if we don't get rid of him
Badla Le Lai Sohneya Je Maa Da Jaya
Take revenge, my dear, if you're the son of your mother
Chithi Sunn Ke Morh Ne Chhat Khise Pa Layi
After listening to the letter, Morh puts it away in his bag
Raffal Jatt Ne Chak Leyi Te Kari Charayi
He picks up the rifle and sets off on his horse
Daske Val Nu Tur Peya Ik Pal Na Laya
He heads off to Daska (a village in Punjab) in no time
Badla Le Lai Sohneya Je Maa Da Jaya
Take revenge, my dear, if you're the son of your mother
