about

Qafir touches upon the futility of a life filled with fame and riches. All the materialistic things in
the world do not guarantee a happy and fulfilling life. Through this song, Prabh embodies the
mindset of a man who is chasing after money and seeks to control the world through his
financial transactions. Yet, despite attaining financial wealth, he is still seeking fulfillment,
unaware that money will not solve the internal crisis that he must solve in order to for his soul to
be at peace in the limited time that he has left on this earth.

lyrics

Show toh baad kardi a dosta nu call. // After the show she calls up her friends
Kehndi, "Aj ni mai aa ri raati ghar" // and says I’m not coming home tonight
Oh mere naal baigi. // she comes and sits next to me
Mere naal ravey khush. // she’s happy when she’s with me
Mere naal mere yaar. // my friends are with me
Mere naal mera dosh, // my sins are with me
mainu kre preshan. // constantly troubling me
Time bas aakhri messiah jeda kar sakda ve sb sahi // time is the last remaining messiah that can fix everything
Time chaley galat te ohnu mehngi ghadi kar sakdi ni sahi. // if you’re inner clock is running in the wrong direction
even an expensive watch cannot save you
Pre Hook
Paisa kamaya mai, // I’ve earnt money
pyaar gwaya mai. // I’ve lost love
(Piche mai purey saal) // Over the whole year
Paisa kamaya mai, // I’ve earnt money
pyaar gwaya mai. // I’ve lost love
(Unhoni nu honi ch badal-ta) I’ve made impossible possible
Hook
Tuteya Mai tara va // I’m a shooting star
(Tamanna tuhadi kar danga puri) I’ll fulfill all your wishes
Verse
Paise da khed ve sara, // This whole game is about money
te paise naal khed da mai. // I play with money

Ched de cigge eh mainu, // They used to tease me
hun sbnu ched da mai. // Now I give it back to them
Mai puchda kinne kma le tu aj? // I ask them how much they earn today
Oh karan laggey hisaab. // They get flustered and start accounting
Mai hasda behisaab. // It makes me laugh
Paiseya naal badalde vekhe insaan. // I’ve seen money change people
Aj ni mere naal oh pehle din waale yaar // I’ve lost my day ones
Aj v ohi gal baat te jdo tura baar // Even when I step outside
Ohi aj naar, mud k aa vekhdi a mainu // People turn around and stare at me
jedi pehla mainu kehndi c anjaan.// Those who used to call me a stranger before my success
Duniya ve chaldi aa jeba anusaar. // The world runs according to how heavy your wallet is
Lak te ni marda mai kam kra hard // I refuse to get complacent I keep working hard
Luck te ni marda mai kam kra hard // I don’t get lucky I keep working hard
(Prabh)
Pre Hook
Paisa kamaya mai, // I’ve earnt money
pyaar gwaya mai. // I’ve lost love
(Piche mai purey saal) // Over the whole year
Paisa kamaya mai, // I’ve earnt money
pyaar gwaya mai. // I’ve lost love
(Unhoni nu honi ch badal-ta) I’ve made impossible possible
Hook
Tuteya Mai tara va // I’m a shooting star
(Tamanna tuhadi kar danga puri) I’ll fulfill all your wishes
Bridge
Paisa nu kaabu Mai krlanga, // Once I have control over money
hojana saara kuj kaabu. // I’ll control everything
Shareer toh kithe v ravanga, // My body will live wherever
dimaag te kar bethi jaadu. // My mind is under a spell
Pyaar te jang de vich ni, // In war and love
hunde koi niyam laagu // there are no rules
Pyaar naal jang ve chalu, // I’ve declared war on love
Bistar ch dove bekaabu. // Under these sheets, both of us lose control
Outro
Time di kammi a mere toh. // Time is running out for me
Time di kammi a mere toh. // Time is running out for me
Ni te tasalli naal denda jawaab mere te laggey aaropa de. // Otherwise I’d give a fitting reply to all the accusations
levelled against me
Ni te tasalli naal denda jawaab mere kol time hunda je. // I’d give a fitting reply if only time was on my side

Time di kammi a mere toh. // Time is running out for me
Time di kammi a mere toh. // Time is running out for me
Ni te tasalli naal denda jawaab mere te laggey aaropa de. // Otherwise I’d give a fitting reply to all the accusations
levelled against me
Ni te tasalli naal denda jawaab mere kol time hunda je. // I’d give a fitting reply if only time was on my side
