I tripped over your paranda
Yeh. Though I think abrar is a whole different paradigm of lyrical bizarrity; and if you can understand Punjabi, some of his songs are fiendishly comical (it helps that they are in Punjabi ofcourse - a language which makes unfunny comedy non-existent)
If I have to own up to an infatuation with an Abrar song, then it has to be nachan main oday naal; which starts with, “I always wanted a laal paranda”. I did indeed. And, unsurprisingly, this proved to be one of my principal failings in life.
Something in a similar vein is making it rounds on the interwebnets (it seems most of those giving out haughty soundbytes remain single, shocking…):
