Viceroy Calls London
(in 72 kalla chhand, a Punjabi behar used rarely by poets as successfully as Babu Rajab Ali.)

sunn saan chhauniyaN ji,
raunkaN ghaTTiyaN, hoan band hattiyaN,
hon na match ai, karan na catch ai,
ball paye rullday, bat pai khoonjay.
hoan soot istri na,
reshmi tie, kade na layee,
lai hand-kar-chief, nahi mukh poonjay.

pai giya soag bangleyaN mein,
aRhay angraiz, laun na maiz,
haaRh wich andray, gate te jandray,
saRak te pehray, kehnday daRh watt lo!
bhaijay taar vaisraa(Viceroy) ji,

hukam na mann'day, chhauniyaN paTT lo!

hath laye mailyeaN ji,
hoan jo maimaN, chhaddgiyaN gaimaN,
kais je bhooray, maThay de moohray,

chambay diyaN kalliyaN, attar diyaN palliyaN,
lain na khushboo, khiRhay phull kaisoo!

band sheeshi whiskiyaN di,
qismataN mandiyaN, naach-gharon bandiyaN,
jaan na mess, jagan na gas,
iweiN rou dhou ke, chaar dinn kaTT lo!

bhaijay taar vaisraa si,
naweiN uThay chhohray, maartay goray,
hukam na mannday, chhauniyaN patt lo.

gaiyeaN paaT juraabaN ji,
booT de tasmeiN, bann'an dinn dasmeiN,
khabar na bull di, lipstick rulldi,
karan na sairr wakhat nu phaRiyaN!
chain TuTT gaye sunehri jey,
shehar na jaanday,hor na liyanday,
dain na chaabi, khaRhgiyaN ghaRhiyaN!

hai na lazat kabaabaN mein,
gaiyeaN lagg mittiyaN, plataN chiTiyaN,
kachay jey cake, laggay na saik,
biskuttaN rukhiyaN, makhan na chaTT lo!

bhaijay taar vaisraa ji,
naweiN uThay chhohray, maartay goray,
hukam na mannday, chhauniyaN patt lo!

haq mann'an baraabar de,
Bharati fauji, jaan nitt khauhji,
goray jinni tankhaah, laRhan paye ann khaa,
paanwde bhaRhthoo, udaunday pachray.
mareya Italy Germany nu,
Misr di dharti, lahoo naal bharti,
ruRhdiyaN siriyaN rurhan jiweiN kachray.

gaye badal zamaane ji,
samaaN hor ayea, badl gai riyayea,
naweiN chhohr paRh gaye, daftariN waRh gaye,
narmiyaN varto, maamla ghaTT lo!

baghi karn bagawat ji,
rallan tinn qaumaN, piya phuTT somaN,
Bhagat singh jawaan, karoo nuksaan,
arz kare king di, pichhaaN nu haTT lo!
