Recently I was going through Atif's song on youtube and suddenly I came across this song akhiyan nu rehn de, I wondered as I had never heard of this song in his albums. Well later I found that it was sung in an award function as a tribute to Reshma.So in that awards function there were a couple of more songs of Reshma dedicated to her one being Lambi Judai by atif and Ni mein chori chori by Shehzaad Roy.
Both are damn good. After these two comes Akhiyan nu rehn de. And it rapidly spread from my ears, through my veins till my heart and I decided this song deserves a post.Simply amazing lyrics beautifully sung by reshman. And Atif too has done complete justice to the song.Atif's VersionYtubeSoundCloudbyAkhian Noon Rehn De Akhian De Kol Kol is a folk song originally sung by Reshman who is a famous Pakistani singer and has sung in Bollywood as well.During Lux style awards 2008 Atif Aslam performed this track as a tribute to Reshman, who is suffering from cancer and currently lives in Dubai with her daughter.
Due to her prolonged illness she has lost her singing as she is unable to pronounce words. But even then she is a living legend and a super star.Here is the Reshma version.
Akhiyan Udeek Diyan Lyrics Translation Youtube
Kand dil wali tutti ae te, rona pai gaya,Tainu baddlan ‘ch chann wangu, khona pai gaya.Kita ae zamane nu mere ton judaa ve,Karke bagaane kyon diti ae saza ve,Dil tere pyar da khidauna reh gaya,Mere tarde naseeban nu dabauna pai gaya.Kandh dil waali tutti ae te, ronaa pe gaya,Tenu badlan ‘ch chan wangu, khona pe gaya.Yaar yaar mera yaar na aya,Akhiyan udeek diyan, kalleyan eh dil darrda,Pyar-pyar tenu pyar na aya,Sadiyan eh beet gaiyan, yaadan nal rehnda larhda.Kand dil wali tuti ae te rona pai gayaa,Tainoo badlaan ch chan wangoo khona pai gayaa.
