Renowned singer Abrar ul Haq has revealed how his hit song Nach Punjaban was created, including the story behind its famous line, “Thora jiya gaane nu de de Punjabi touch.”
Speaking in a YouTube interview, Abrar said he was writing the opening lyrics of the song when he asked his cousin Tipu for feedback. His cousin told him the song sounded good but needed a stronger Punjabi touch.
Abrar said the remark stayed with him and later inspired the line, “Thora jiya gaane nu de de Punjabi touch, thora jiya music nu de de Punjabi touch.” According to him, that phrase gave the song its identity and helped shape the final version of Nach Punjaban.
