Being the non-Urdu and non-Punjabi reading & writing people that we are, when my wedding came around and we needed to transcribe the wedding songs we wanted to sing, we wrote them down in Roman Urdu. I figured it might be useful to put them online should anyone else want to use them. We sang an interesting mix of songs, as you'll see from the list below. All the lyrics are on this one page. Click a link below to be automatically scrolled down to the correct place in the list. Enjoy :)

1. Are You Lonesome Tonight - Elvis Presley; we're all Elvis fans so we had to sing an Elvis song :)
2. Ayaa Te Teray Mann
3. Ballay Ballay
4. Bunday Chaandi De; damn good song.
5. Eik Ajnabi
6. Je Je Shiv Shankar
7. Jeevay Banaraa
8. Laal Meri Pathh
9. Langg Aajaa; one of my all-time favourite Punjabi songs. It's really hard to sing, and it's slow (compared to other wedding songs), but it's gorgeous!
10. Luddi He Jamaalo
11. Traditional Wah Luddi Song; my mother's side of the family is from Wah; these are the lyrics sung before starting the traditional Wah luddi.
12. Manwa Re; yes, we sang a Noori song :)
13. Mathaay Te Chamkan Vaal; this song was sung as "Darrhi Te Chamkan Vaal" ('darrhi' meaning 'beard') for me because I'm bald :)
14. Mein To Phulvaa Pehnaanay Ai
15. Rang Barsay
16. Shaavaa Karaakaa; a nicely rude song sung back when there was real competition between the bride and groom's families and each side was equally rude to the other without either getting offended. Back then, it was cool to be rude to one-up the other side. Unfortunately, that spirit has, for all practical purposes, been lost. I don't recommend you sing this (we didn't), you'll probably offend people. It's here because it needed to be documented :)
17. Sohney Deya Kanganaa; another damn good song.
18. Tappay; these are groom's-side tappas, with some bride's-side replies.
19. Vekheyay Hovay; a really fun groom's side song.

Thanks a million to Munni Khala, Ashi and Sara for the lyrics...and all the others for being there!

Are You Lonesome Tonight - Elvis Presley

(Words & music by Roy Turk and Lou Handman)

Are you lonesome tonight,
Do you miss me tonight?
Are you sorry we drifted apart?
Does your memory stray to a brighter sunny day
When I kissed you and called you sweetheart?
Do the chairs in your parlor seem empty and bare?
Do you gaze at your doorstep and picture me there?
Is your heart filled with pain, shall I come back again?
Tell me dear, are you lonesome tonight?

- - - - - start interlude - - - - -
I wonder if you’re lonesome tonight
You know someone said that the world’s a stage
And each must play a part.
Fate had me playing in love you as my sweet heart.
Act one was when we met, I loved you at first glance
You read your line so cleverly and never missed a cue
Then came act two, you seemed to change and you acted strange
And why I’ll never know.
Honey, you lied when you said you loved me
And I had no cause to doubt you.
But I’d rather go on hearing your lies
Than go on living without you.
Now the stage is bare and I’m standing there
With emptiness all around
And if you won’t come back to me
Then make them bring the curtain down.
- - - - - end interlude - - - - -

Is your heart filled with pain, shall I come back again?
Tell me dear, are you lonesome tonight?

Eik Ajnabi

Eik ajnabi haseena se youn mulaqat ho gayee
Phir kya hua yeh na puchho, kuch aisi baat ho gayee

Voh achaanak aa gayee, youn nazar ke saamnay
Jaisay nikal aaya ghatta say chand
Chehray pe zulfein bikhri houeen theen
Din mein raat ho gayee, ho gayee

Eik ajnabi haseena se youn mulaqat ho gayee
Phir kya hua yeh na puchho, kuch aisi baat ho gayee

Jaan-e-man jaan-e-jigar, hota mein sha’ir agar
Kehta ghazal teri adaaon par
Mein ne yeh kaha toh mujh se khafa voh
Jaan-e-hayaat ho gayee, ho gayee

Eik ajnabi haseena se youn mulaqat ho gayee
Phir kya hua yeh na puchho, kuch aisi baat ho gayee

Khoobsoorat baat yeh chaar pal ka saath yeh
Saree umar mujh ko rahay ga yaad
Mein akela tha magar ban gayee voh hum safar
Voh meray saath ho gayee, ho gayee

Eik ajnabi haseena se youn mulaqat ho gayee
Phir kya hua yeh na puchho, kuch aisi baat ho gayee

Chuttdda nahin saat din raat da

Luddi hai jamaalo pao, luddi hai jamaalo
Luddi hai jamaalo pao, luddi hai jamaalo

Aake tu turr gayo
Rog lag jaye gaa
Kali rae jaan gi mein

Bulliaan bulaan tenu
Akhian manaan tenu
Savaan vich shor barsaat da

Luddi hai jamaalo pao, luddi hai jamaalo

Naach aur sab ko nacha re,
Mukh pe ghunghat daaley,
