The song “Paisay Da Nasha” was written and arranged by Bohemia and had not been released before it was recorded at Coke Studio.
Bohemia writes about the way people think in this world: people are intoxicated by the idea of money and in love with the idea of intoxication. He asks the important question ‘what have you learnt in this life so far?’ He writes that people are caught up in a rat race for money and fame and don’t stop to notice people around them and when people die they can never be replaced.
Bohemia was inspired to write this song because of the people he lost in his life. His mother died when he was just a teenager. A few years later he met and started spending all his time with a group of musicians and a tabla player in particular. He and his friend made plans to make original music together. His friend was murdered in 2002 – a year before Bohemia started rapping.
In the chorus of the song, Bohemia makes a strong point that people don’t recognize the value of others until they are dead and its too late.

Paisay Da Nasha Lyrics:
Title: Paisay Da Nasha – Greed For Money
Language: Punjabi
سکھیا کی دنیا چی ان دے بعد
Sikheya Ki Dunya Chi Aan De Baad
What have you learnt after coming into the world?
ہویا جیدودہ می جوان جگ جنگ دا میدان
Hoya Jedoda Mae Javaan Jag Jang Da Medaan
Ever since I grew up the world’s been a battle field
اپنے پارہے میرے اتے گولہ چلٌّ میرے واسطے
Apne Parae Mere Utte Golia Challan Mere Vaaste
My own and others fire bullets at me, for me
بچے نہیں کوئی پجن دے راستے، چوپا فرا گزارا جند مے نشے دے آسرے
Bache Nai Koi Pajjan De Raste, Chopa Phira Guzara Jind Me Nashe De Aasre
No escape routes remain, hiding I spend my life relying on intoxication
کرا تکریرا، اخبارا چ بیان دوا نشے چی مے چووے گھنٹے پسے پیچھے جان جاوا
Kara Takrira, Akhbara Ch Bayaan Dava Nashe Chi Me Chovi Ghante Pase Piche Jaan Java
Make speeches, in newspapers I give interviews, intoxicated I go after money twenty four seven, I go to
جیل چی یار لکھا یارا نو تسلیا، کبریستان میرے دشمننا دی گلیاں
Jail Chi Yaar Likha Yara Nu Tasaliya, Kabrestan Mere Dushmanna Di Galiya
Jail, my friend and write consolations to my friends, graveyards the streets of my enemies
پیسے دے نشے، تے نشے دا پیار چی اسی، یارا دے دشمن تے دسمنا دے یار میں نے
Paisay De Nshe, Te Nashe Da Pyar Chi Asi, Yaara De Dushman Te Dusmana De Yaar Mene
The intoxication of money, and in the love of intoxication are we, the friends of enemies and the enemies of friends we became
چھوٹی عمر تو پیشنلی اے دنیا، ودیا شکریہ تو سکھیا تے سنیا کے
Choti Umar To Peshanli Ae Duniya, Vadea Shikariya To Sikheya Te Suneya Ke
from a young age the world recognizes, big hunter what have you learnt and heard?
پیسے دی عمری نال دل نو آرام تے نشے چی وادی تو وادی مشل آسان تے
Paisay Di Amiri Nall Dil Nu Araam Te Nashe Chi Vadi To Vadi Mushil Asaan Te
The richness of money gives solace to the heart and intoxication makes easy even the biggest problems, and
پیار، پیار دینے روپ ہزار اے سکھیا می دنیا چی انڈے بعد
Pyar, Pyar Dene Roop Hazaar Ae Sikheya Mae duniya Chi Aande Baad
Love, love has a thousand faces this is what I’ve learnt after coming into the world
پیسے دا نشہ، نشے دا پیار وے تونے سکھیا کی دنیا چی ان دے بعد
Paisay Da Nasha, Nashe Da Pyar Ve Tune Sikheya Ki Dunya Chi Aan De Baad
The intoxication of money, the love of intoxication, oh what have you learnt after coming into the world?
پیسے دا نشہ، نشے دا پیار وے ہوندی آدمی دی کیمت آدمی دے جاندے بعد
Paisay Da Nasha, Nashe Da Pyar Ve Hondi Aadmi Di Keemet Aadme De Jaande Baad
The intoxication of money, the love of intoxication, oh a man Is valuable after the man has left and is no more
گھما دا خزانہ ہوندی زندگی، ایک دو دن دا فسانہ ہوندی زندگی
Ghama Da Khazana Hondi Zindigi, Ek Do Din Da Fasana Hondi Zindigi
a treasure of sorrows is life, a treasure of a day or two is life
آج میری واری کل تیری ذمیواری کدی رکدی نی صدا جاری ریندی زندگی
Aj Meri Vari Kal Teri Zimevari Kadi Rukdi Nai Sadaa Jari Randi Zindigi
Today my turn, tomorrow your responsibility, never stops forever goes on life
غریب سوندے فُکھ امیر روٹی کھنڈے، آدمی دوے بنے رب دے ہتھاں دے
Ghareeb Sonde Phukhe Ameer Roti Khande, Admi Dove Bane Rab De Hathaan De
The poor sleep hungry, the rich eat food, both men made by god/ creations of god
نالے موت کسدا مہذب نی وکھڈی، جتھو وی انڈے اٹھے واپس جاندے سارے
Nale Maut Kiseda Mazab Nai Vekhdi, Jitho Vi Ande Othe Vapas Jande Sare
Also, death doesn’t look at anyone’s religion, wherever it comes from, there they all return
رال مل رہوگے تے بنیگی گل، ایک دوجے نال لڑنا نی مسلیں دا حل
Ral Mil Raoge Te Banegi Gal, Ek Doje Nal Larna Nai Maslean Da Hal
If you live in togetherness, that’ll be great, fighting with each other is not the solution to problems
جرا بیت گیا پل وہ لوٹ کے نی انا، جند وے کیمٹی خزانہ جوانان
Jera Beet Gaya Pal Oh Lot Ke Nai Ana, Jind Ve Keemti Khazana Javanan
That which moment has passed, will not return, life is a precious treasure young man
پیسے دا نشہ، نشے دا پیار وے تو سکھیا کی دنیا چی ان دے بعد
Paisay Da Nasha, Nashe Da Pyar Ve Tu Sikheya Ki Dunya Chi Aan De Baad
The intoxication of money, the love of intoxication, oh what have you learnt after coming into the world?
پیسے دا نشہ، نشے دا پیار وے ہوندی آدمی دی کیمٹ آدمی جاندے بعد
Paisay Da Nasha, Nashe Da Pyar Ve Hondi Aadmi Di Keemet Aadme De Jaande Baad
The intoxication of money, the love of intoxication, oh a man Is valuable after the man has left and is no more
