I once saw a bird fly

I once saw a bird fly
Oh, did he fly with pride!
oh, did he fly with pride!
he was the predator,
he was the king

soaring above the clouds he was,
appearing majestic in his stature
looking down on the land he was,
watching his prey skitter-scatter
grinning with a wicked smile he was,
knowing he was the catcher

then, with the fiery passion of a hungry beast,
and the eyes of a blood lusting monger
he swooped down upon his prey
such a force as heaven would obey

clutched in his claws were two
two who had in the moment strayed
Oh, they knew where their doom lay
but the bird, ah! how wickedly he played

playing with his catch he was,
knowing he controlled their fate
abusing them an awful lot he was,
laughing at their pathetic state
pecking at them with his beak he was,
torturingly making them wait
at the moment how proud he was,
controlling everything, in every which way

soaring above the clouds he was,
appearing majestic in his stature
looking down on the land he was,
watching his prey skitter-scatter
grinning with a wicked smile he was,
knowing he was the catcher

then, as he was flying like any other day
suddenly his wings gave out on him
he looked down with a panicking glance
saw his prey as always skitter-scatter
realizing now, what he was seeing wasn't some chance
they had always been waiting and hoping for this festive dance
the prey knew it was only a matter,
time till they could make of him a decorative platter

falling hard toward the earth he was,
knowing a bed of webs for him await
thinking about his own misery he was,
he was to be tortured like all his prey
crying now miserably in fear he was,
he controlled nothing, nothing in any way

remembering how he had proudly tortured his catch
he couldn't help but fear for his own death
he was no longer the predator, no more the catcher
all his life he had been played
always thinking he controlled fate
now the one who was the predator, the one who was the king
his majesty could not even control his own wings
Oh, he knew where his doom lay
but fate, ah! how wickedly it had played

I once saw a bird fly
Oh, did he fly with pride!
Oh, did he fly with pride!
he was the predator,
he was the king

A Crimson Dream

Sweet prunes and bitter apples

Wind’s shadow and winter’s blossom

Blind as an eagle and as clear as a bat

Close my eyes see a world unimagined

As dark as white, as light as black

Weapons of love, bullets of truth

Politics of innocence, rule of servitude

Close my eyes see a world unimagined

People as students, life as a teacher

Lessons of compassion, cities of duty

Tests of righteousness, globe of unity

Close my eyes see a world unimagined

Jawaab

pughaan sajaayiaan daran karke, pughaan sajaayiaan kauf karke.
dastaar di izat kive rakhan khud jo apni izat nehi sambaal sagde?

Guru naal hisaab rakhde ne, khud noon nafrat karde ne.
tu ai kive sochiaa piyaareaa, ke ai mangiaa miliaa sardaariaan noon samajh sagde ne?

pughaan sajaayiaan daran karke, pughaan sajaayiaan kauf karke.
shukarr karee(n) veeriaa jadhon aiho je bande dastaar utaaran lagge...

Leaf

a leaf flies in the silent wind
the earth shakes in a sudden grind

the sun shines in its beautiful presence
the stars bend in their humble essence

flowers fragrant the air with beauty
birds sing eloquent praises in their duty

Such is the word of the Saint in Melody
Causes Creation to sing along in Harmony

IMMORTAL SHAHEEDI 5, PANJ

Immortal Productions alongside Jagowale, Kulwinder Singh Johal, Shveta, Surinder Singh & Narinder Singh, Tigerstyle, XS-BASS
and introducing
Bhai Balkar Singh Chola Sahib, Crative Boy, Des-C, G.N.E., Kanwar, Manpreet Singh, Money Spinner & Raxstar

proudly present their next addition to the revolutionary Shaheedi series: Panj





















After the phenomenal impact of the previous four albums, the Immortals team have released their latest offering. With this album the purpose remains the same, to remember the sacrifices of the brave Singhs and Kaurs who stood tall against the face of oppression and injustice and to inspire a whole new generation of Sikhs, proud of their history and heritage. Dedicated to those who died for the faith, this fifth album explores issues of identity, equality, courage, strength and the self sacrifice of countless saintly warriors who abandoned the comforts of their homes and loved ones, to walk on a path where mortal death was a certainty.

Traditional dhad, sarangi and kaveeshar have been fused with modern and western sounds along with some of the best rapping talent in the western Sikh hemisphere to create a captivating and innovative sound that is unparalleled. Not only are the tracks enthralling to listen to, but the depth of the lyrics instils a sense of pride that both links us back to our sisters & brothers-in-arms, who have sacrificed their present to secure our future but also questions our own roles in the faith today

We pay homage to the sons and daughters of Guru Gobind Singh Ji, who have coloured our history with their blood and have inspired generation after generation to walk defiantly on the path of the Guru whilst facing all challengers, tyrants and oppressors. This album is devoted to them, and to all the future Sikh Soormeh who will, without doubt, keep the kesri nishaan’s of the panth hoisted proudly in the skies.

Available across the World at Vaisakhi celebrations in April 2007.
The album can also be purchased from the Immortal Productions website at

Ki Matlab?

one of the few punjabi things i've written...

tusan pughan sajayian soniyan mitro, par kade socheya hai sajaan da ki matlab?
je pugh di izat ni rakhni, je pugh di izat ni karni, fir pughan sajaan da ki matlab?
je sharabi ban ke jina si, je sharabi ban ke jina si, fir Shaheedan di Kurbani da ki matlab?
fir sikh akhan da ki matlab? fir pughan sajan da ki matlab?
je pugh di izat ni rakhni, je pugh di izat ni karni, fir pughan sajaan da ki matlab?
