Lyrics Lathe Di Chadar !exclusive! Jun 2026
Mainu chadar na ditti, mainu chadar na ditti, Tainu rab ne hath na laa'ni. Jadon main mar gayi, mere laash nu vi na chaddi, Teriyan aahi kamaaiyan ni.
Dil vich khayal tere da aaya Hath jinhde khanniyan hoiyan ni Ohne mere nakko nak ni behthan

Punjabi: ਲੱਠੇ ਦੀ ਚਾਦਰ ਚਿੱਟੀ ਵੇ ਵੇਖ ਨਾ ਮੁੰਡਿਆ ਖੇਤ ਨੀ ਮੈਂ ਰਾਹੋਂ ਹਟਦੀ ਤੇਰੇ ਵਰਗਾ ਯਾਰ ਬਾਹਰਾਂ ਨੀ ਮੇਲੇ ਨਹੀਓ ਹੁੰਦੇ
A poor woman is suffering in extreme cold. Her husband has a thick, heavy quilt ( lathe di chadar — a quilt stuffed with raw cotton [lathe] ), but he refuses to share it with her, wrapping it only around himself. She pleads with him, describing her shivering state. In some versions, the song ends in tragedy (she dies of cold); in others, it's a sharp critique of male selfishness. Mainu chadar na ditti, mainu chadar na ditti,
You wrap yourself in the cotton quilt, while I have a rusty hut and no shawl. Until I get that quilt, my heart won't settle.
The song is essentially a playful exchange between a young woman and a man. Here is the translation of the most famous lines: In some versions, the song ends in tragedy
Pau'n lai gayi meri khesh di chaadar, Tere kol lathe di chadar hai ni. Dupher chha'nwa'n te raat jawani, Taan vi sohni chadar hai ni.
Lathe di chadar chitti ve Vekh na mundya khet ni main rahon hatdi Tere varga yaar bahran ni mele nahion hunde
Punjabi: ਲੱਠੇ ਦੀ ਚਾਦਰ ਕੱਲੀ ਵੇ ਸੁਰਮੇ ਦੀ ਪੁੜੀ ਪਾ ਕੇ ਨੱਕੋ ਨੱਕ ਨੀ ਬਹਿਠਾਂ ਕੋਈ ਬੁਲਾਵੇ ਪਿੱਛੋਂ ਨੀ ਮੈਂ ਬੈਠਾਂ
