BALO BATIYAN - Ali Zafar X Atta Ullah Khan Esakhelvi

Hello, beautiful souls,

Having the chance to collaborate with the legendary Attaullah Esakhelvi Sahab has been nothing short of an honor for me. Together, we've poured our hearts into "Balon Batiyan," a song that tells the story of a man undervalued by his love, proving he is not just metal, but precious gold. This collaboration is deeply personal to me; it's an extension of my ongoing mission to spotlight the incredible cultural, linguistic, and artistic treasures of Pakistan. It represents a crucial step in our collective journey to celebrate Pakistani culture and languages on a global stage, ensuring our splendid heritage not only thrives but resonates with new generations worldwide. Let's let music transcend boundaries and unite us in ways nothing else can.

✦ Lyrics:
Balo Batiyan ve mahi saakoon maaro sanglaan naal
Pittal bana-e sona ban saan amlaan naal

Balo Batiyan ve mahi saakoon maaro sanglaan naal
Pittal bana-e sona ban saan amlaan naal

Main athe te dhol meda van thye
Main samaan dholey di baahn te
Meriya ve maahiya
Meriya ve maahiya
Ve koi vekhan malook aaya
Anj barbaad kitaayi ve meekon dekhan lok aaya

Balo Batiyan ve mahi saakoon maaro sanglaan naal
Pittal bana-e sona ban saan amlaan naal

Main athe te dhol multan ae
Main athe te dhol multan ae
Ohde butt vich meri jaan ae
Meriya ve maahiya
Meriya ve maahiya
Kad sajnaan da chhota ae
Kaaliyaan zulfan de vich mukh chann da ve tuta ae

Balo Batiyan ve mahi saakoon maaro sanglaan naal
Pittal bana-e sona ban saan amlaan naal
