Discography of his Albums – Exclusively on Punjabimohalla.com

“Mehfil-e-Sartaaj”. It has 8 tracks and each track is so pure that you will love to listen it again and again.
1.Ammi- This one is a beautiful song about mother and her love for her children. Sartaaj has sung it in a beautifal way.
“Duniya te sukh sabar shanti taan hai,` kyonki sabna kol amuli maa hai,
taap chade sir pattiyan kardi ammi hai, dukh saade lekhan de jardi ammi hai”
2.Dil- This one is also very beautiful where Sartaj compares the life of childhood and now. Very well written.
“Kade piplan de pateyaan di pipni banauni,
Kade khad darwazen di dholki vajauni,
Hun nagma sarangiyaan da shor ho gaya,
Dil pehlan jeha nahin reha eh kathor ho gaya,
Take duniya de rang thoda hor ho gaya”
3.Je Koi- This is a different style of song. A little fast paced and this proves that how good Sartaaj is in his singing and again mind blowing lyrics.
“Shayari da ghar door Satindra, Gayaki otho dooni,
Lale dhuuni je manjil chooni,
Kidan geet likhenga gaggar lafazan vaali ooni, Pyaar vihuuni,soch alooni,
Hun tu aape das ke kidan paaloo khichke bhangra banda langra,
Lokan nu ki devega khud hi jehda mangra”
4.Mann Kun To- One more beautiful song. Again good lyrics and brilliant singing. This song has a real spiritual touch.
“Kaazi soyee jo shara vich hoye kayaam,
Te gayak soi jo gale wich taan hove,
Shuru soi jo Rab da naam hove,
Te khatam soi jo naal imaan hove”
5.Motiya- This song proves that how good Satinder knows about Punjabi Culture. It has names of almost all the flowers. Many lines are brilliantly written like-
“Kankan de sitteyan de banuge clip, mein udikda sunehari kadon hunde ni” or
“Jaana paina fir sanu Malwe de val,ke Duabe vich Ful nahin pakaide”
6.Paani- This is again good song about the change which comes when one moves from village to City. This song has sweet memories of Punjabi Villages
“Yaad rakhda Vaisakhi ohne vekhaya hunda je, Rang Kankan da hare ton sunehari ho gaya, Paani panjan Dariyaavan wali vairi ho gaya, Munda pind da si shehar jaa ke shehari ho gaya”
7. Sai- And now the best song of this album. Starting with one of Baint of Waris Shah the song takes you to other world. Each line has a very special meaning. Excellent Song. A must listen.
8. Vekhan Ge- This song is my second favourite song. It feels very close to my own life. It looks like Satinder is chatting with your heart.
“Bade chir to khande dhabe di, Ghare fulka foloo vekhange,
Aje ghada akal da oona hai, Jad bhar ke dullu vekhange”

“IBADAT” The next album by Sartaj.This time the lyrics of most of the songs is not by Sartaaj. Mostly all the songs are old ones by our great Sufi poets. Here is a detail of all the songs::::

1)IBADAT:::
The title song is such a brilliant creation. This one written by Sartaaj himself. It has brilliant lyrics and combined with SS’s brilliant singing it creates a magic. With just a Harmonium and Tabla at background, SS gives this song his soul with his amazing style.
“Kyon hankar karda hain vi ik din khaak ho jaana,
Tere ton Janwar change jihnan di khal bandi hai”
2)JUDAAYIAN:::
This one is one of my favourite from this album. This song is a tribute to Late Deepak Jatoyi who was a punjabi poet and is written by Deepak Sir himself. This song is such a brilliance expressing every moment of judaai. Really loving anyone with true heart is most difficult.
“Kade aa ke vekhi akheen saadi jind kumlaundi
Din chain nahin aaunda raati neend nahin aaundi”
3)MANN:::
And this is my favourite. Though it was in first album also. But I liked this version more. This is a sufi kalaam written by great poet Tamir Khusro. This song is such a brilliance embedded with many glittering stanzas. Every stanza (Shaer) in it deserves a blog discussion. And moreover Sartaaj gives it a perfect start. Such a pleasure to listen.
“Tangdili nu jadon da door kita
je mein khush nahin haan te hairaan vi nahin,
Maala ferna tasvi da bird karna
je koi nafaa nahin hai te nuksaan vi nahin,
Manna murti kaabe de vich jaanda,
Raam aapna hai rehmaan nahin,
Jadon khayal aaunda ohdi bandgi,
rehnda hindu nahin Musalman vi nahin
Oh khuda mera mein khudai ohdi,
Ohdi yaad bina hor koi dhyaan vi nahin,
Daaman pive sharaab te kare sijda,
raaji rab hai gusse shaitan vi nahin”

4)UMARAN DE SAATHI:::
Another good one from SS. I was not expecting this type of song from SS really. A lover telling partner’s bewafayiaan. But really a good one. Sung with a brilliant style and a brilliant tune and an awesome lyrics.
“Tairna chanvan ch sikhaun valde,
saade piche maut gale laun valde,
Bhar bhar jehar diyan muthaan vandde,
Taliyan te chog nu chugaon valde,
Saade hathi ishqe di dor khub gayi,
Kho ke sathon gudiyan udaon lag gaye”
5)TAPPE:::
This is the sweetest song of this album. Some beautiful old tappas selected by SS. But somewhere it does not have that naughty side of basic tappas but still a treat to listen really.
“Ghada khoo te chod aayi haan,
Ghada khoo te chod aayi haan,
Aj dil khafa khafa aa mahiye nu tor aayi haan”

6)AA MIL YAAR:::
This is another sufi wonder from old days by Baba Bulle Shah. A real sufism touch in it treating god as our very own. Really nice one. Beautiful song with slow and fast pace both and again mind blowing singing.
“Karo kamai mere bhai, eho vakht kamavan da,
Pau sataran pende ne, Hun dam naa baazi haaran da,
Ujri khed ch bangayian nardan, jhadu kaun uthavagan tu…..”
7)TERE QURBAN:::
Another one from Baba Bulle Shah. A beautfiul song really with sufism explaining its height. Love without any condition. Really true na!!! a love with a condition is a bargain not love. And every stanza explains that at above all when SS is singing it, it is nothing less than a masterpiece.
“Teri jeha meinu hor na koi hove,
Dhunda jungle bele rohi ve,
Dhunda saara jahaan ve Aajaaaaaaa…..”

motay motay peg la ke ruri marka de ajj kar ke huttan gay karey,

apni ayi te jad aya hovey jatt ja marda kissay nu ja maray,
Dhaaru pee ke Dhaaru pee ke,
Dhaaru pee ke Dhaaru pee ke jatt buk de marde gali ch lalkarey,

veri kolon kehnde jatt kadey na daray, watt banay shangnay to kaday na taley,
vich pardesan de jo vasde ne jatt oh v kissay to kahande nahio maray,
Dhaaru pee ke Dhaaru pee ke,
Dhaaru pee ke Dhaaru pee ke jatt buk de marde gali ch lalkarey,

rakh de soormay tali de utte jaan ni, sach dassi janda gal PINDER CHAUHAN ni,
Pind Sathowaliye di mani zara gal jatt laan na kissay nu jhuthey laarey,
Dhaaru pee ke Dhaaru pee ke,
Dhaaru pee ke Dhaaru pee ke jatt buk de marde gali ch lalkarey,
sohniye.
