More Gurdas Mann

o paudi parakh laiye pair nu jis paudi te dhariye..
(test the step before you trust it with your foot)

Bekadraan di laggi nalon tutti changi hai..
( it is much better to let go of a relationship with someone who is not grateful to have you in his/her life)

These lines play in the head very often.. esp the first... look before you leap.. and test before you trust :-)

That is what i love about his songs.. one line that will make a LOT of sense...

More Gurdas Mann coming up, or River My Guru, whatever one can lay hands on!

Absolutely,I agree with the saying.
I have burnt my fingers once.
I am regretting the mistake even till date.

You reminded me of another song by Gurdaas Mann, "Laayee Be-kadraan Naal Yaari, ki Tutt Gayee Taddakk Kar Ke"
(the relationship with an ungrateful snapped with a breaking sound)

and yes i agree "Be-kadraan di laggi naalon tutti changi hai.."
