Album: Ibadat
Singer: Satinder Sartaz

Ibaadat kar ibaadat karaN de naaL gal baN di hai gal baNdi hai
kise di aaj ban di hai te kise di kal ban di eh
//pray n pray, praying will make things happen
//someone's today n someone's tomorrow


ucchi soch sir neeva rakhi..n, yaar tu kyun ke yaar tu kyun ke
yo eh sagar jinna gehra oDi hi chhal ban di eh
// high thinking n keep head down, coz my frend
//the deeper the sea the more value will it have

kyu hankar karda eh ve ik din khaak ho jaaNa... eh khak ho jana -2
hai ke khak ho jaaNa
tere to jaanvar change jinna di khaall ban di eh
//wht r u proud of, you will be destroyed in this soil one day
//will be destroyed one day
//an animal whose flesh is used even after death is better than you

ke pittal oh vee hai jiss to..n tikhe hathiaar baN de ne hathiyaar bande ne
par toh assal pittal hai jo mandir da tall baN di eh
//one type of copper turns into sharp weapons
//but the real copper is the one which becomes a temple's bell

je kar mushkila yaavan tere raste tu Dolee na rasste tu Dolee na
kai waari musibat vee dukhan da hall baN di eh
//if face with difficulties on your path don't be afraid
//sometimes difficulties becomes the cure for pain...

ik vari zara dil naaL tu ardaas ta kar ve ardaas ta kar ve
ke dekhin pher teri gall osse pall baN di eh
// try and pray once with your full heart
//then you see that your problems will resolve the same moment

ehna rassteya tenu satindra paar nai loNa par nai loNa
ohee pagdandi phad jedi gura de wall baN di eh
Ibaadat kar ibaadat karan de naal gal ban di hai gal ban di a
kise di aaj ban di hai te kise di kal ban di eh
kise di aaj bandi hai tai kise di kal bandi hai ibadat kar ibadat kar ibadat kar
//hey SATINDRA, these paths will not get u anywhere
//catch the lane which goes to GURU's (GOD) home


Satinder Sartaaj (Satinderpal Singh)was born in the village mullanpur in ludhiana, Punjab. From his childhood he developed a keen interest in the Folk traditions of the land. He did his schooling from the government schools in his village and the nearby villages Chabbewal and Patti. He started performing on children stages by the time he was in class 3rd. After that, he joined Government College, Hoshiarpur to complete his graduation in Music with Honours. He also joined Sangeet Visharad, a five year diploma in classical music from Jallandhar. After completing his graduation and diploma, Satinder went to Panjab University, Chandigarh for a Masters in Music. He went on to complete his M.Phil and then a PhD with specialization in Sufi music. Satinder also completed a Certificate Course and Diploma in Persian language which allowed him access to the rich Sufi literature in that language. It was in college, when he also started writing poetry and adopted his Takhallus (poetic name) Sartaaj

Satinder dresses in a very traditional Punjabi attire, similar to what the likes of Waris Shah used to wear, and unlike the common practices of turban-wearing-Sikh, he sometimes keeps his hair flowing free, on top of which he wears his turban. This practice has been likened to the eccentric styles of some modern punjabi singers by a few but some have come forward in his defense saying that his dressing sense is in harmony with the Punjabi culture and a positive influence on the Punjabi youth

Dr. Satinder has been teaching at the Department of Music in Panjab University in Chandigarh for the last ten years
Satinder did not release a commercial album up until 2009, when he released a compilation album of his live recordings
