Tu thakur tum pe ardhaas

When I first watched Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania, I completely missed this one as I was too busy "watching" the movie than listening also. Recently while watching the movie yet again, I was completely blown away by this scene and the "song" playing in the background during the Gurudwara scene. As a person who doesn't have much idea about Punjabi language, I had to rewind and play the scene numerous times before I figured out some of the words in the lyrics. Then searched for the song to find this most beautiful and divine Shabad. My mind had blown! With my limited knowledge about classical singing and raagas, I was able to determine that it is surely based on some raag, but not being good enough to know exactly which one. In places, it reminds me of "saagar ki baahon mein mauje hai jitni.. " stanza of "bahut pyaar karte hai" from movie Saajan and at other times, it takes me back to "mile sur mera tumhara" and "prem deewaani hoon main... naino mein badra chhaye".

The lyrics here have a bit of a variation from the original one, but it's my favorite version so that's what I have here. All my other favorite versions of the shabad from youtube are linked below.


Tu thakur tum pe ardhaas
Mere raam jiyo pind sab teri raas
Tu

Tu thakur tum pe ardhaas
Mere raam jiyo pind sab teri raas

Tum maat pitaa hum baarik tere (2)
Tumhri kirpa mein sukh ghanere
Hey more raam, hey more raam raam
Tu thakur tum pe ardhaas
Mere raam jiyo pind sab teri raas
Tu

Koyi na jaaNe tumhra ant (2)
Ooche te uncha bhagawant
Hey more raam, hey more raam raam
Tu thakur tum pe ardhaas
Mere raam jiyo pind sab teri raas
Tu

Saghal samagri tumhre sutradhaari (2)
Tum te hoye so aagiyakaari
Hey more raam, hey more raam raam
Tu thakur tum pe ardhaas
Mere raam jiyo pind sab teri raas

Tum maat pitaa hum baarik tere
Tumhri kirpa mein sukh ghanere
Hey more raam, hey more raam raam
Tu thakur tum pe ardhaas
Mere raam jiyo pind sab teri raas
Tu

Tumhri gat mit tum hi jaani (2)
Naanak daas sadaa qurbani
Tumhri gat mit tum hi jaani (2)
Naanak daas sadaa qurbani
Hey more raam, hey more raam raam
Tu thakur tum pe ardhaas
Mere raam jiyo pind sab teri raas
Tu

Tum maat pitaa hum baarik tere
Tumhri kirpa mein sukh ghanere
Hey more raam, hey more raam raam
Tu thakur tum pe ardhaas
Mere raam jiyo pind sab teri raas
Tu thakur thakur...
