Full Lyrics of Courtside by Karan Aujla

Oh Yaar Saare Type De Ni South Te Kaleshi Aa
Naal Baitha Born Caneda Jama Desi Aa
Ni Kurte Naal Sohniye Snap Back’aa Paa Liyan
Paira Vich Chalsa Rakaane Modde Khesiyan

Ni Jadon Kolo Lang’gi Sira-e Ho Gaya
Kude Mainu Ishq Nira-e Ho Gaya
Ni Tere Pichhe Chakkda Si Kal Nakhro
Nikle Aa Jaan Da Bachaa e Ho Gaya

Ni Do Hi Kamm Jatt Nu Ni peeliye Ya Pailiye
Baaji Poori Pakki Ae Ni Nehle diye Dehliye
Ni Ajj Tak Leya Ni Rakane Panga Mull Da
Ek Baari Aakhde Ladayi Mull Lai Liye

Ni Bann Bann Aunde Aa Ehe Tan Toliyan
Rollie’aa Gutt’aan de Utte Paun Boliyan
Ni Khabbi Seat Khaali Mere Saare Yaran Di
Baariyan Rakaan’aa Layi Ni Kade Kholiyan

Ekko Teri Gaaniyan Dikhaundi Ni Tu Thakkdi
Sade 14 Carat’aa Ni Chichi Dekh Jatt Di
Tainu Vi Bana Deyan Ni Cartier Da Kangana
Kinni Sohni Lagengi Rakaane Dekhi Jachdi

Ni Ghugiyan Udaayiyan Na Kabutari Kude
Ghodiyan Bhajayiyan Bass Nukkri Kude
Shukar Karida Biba Utth Tadke
Ni Neeyat Ni Yaran Di Beshukari kude

Ni LA Vich LV Main Lai Ke Dava Paun Nu
Boardside Chale Naal Dekhe Lebron Nu
Dass Mainu Kithey Di Karawa Kara Ticket’aan
Tere Layi Main Vehla Ohda Time Hai Ni Saun Nu

Sahnu Laggie Rog Di Hawa-e Horr Ae
Ni Jitthey Saddi Pakdi Tawa-e Horr Ae
Mere Naal Chal Dekhi Dil Lagda
Ni Mittar’aan De Pind Di Hawa-e Horr Ae

Ni Firde Aa Bukkde Ni Yaari Ch Ni Lukkda
Fan Teri Look Da Ohda Ni Chheti Jhukkda
Ni Assi Kade Aap De Layi Ni Kujh Mangeya
Kude Teri Sukh Layi Maikhane Fira Sukhda

Ni Kal Hi Chadhaya Gatta Gud Da Kude
Takde Shakki Aa Fira Udd’da Kude
Ni Baba Appe Dekhe Neeyat Saaf Goriye
Tan Hi Ni Rakane Dana Thud’da Kude

Ni Yaariyan Ch Khaayi Da Rakaane Share Karke
Bas Chali Janda Ae Babe Di Mehar Karke
Kayi Kehnde Aidda Kidda Likh Lainda Aujla
Ohna Nu Dikhayi Da Rakaane Fer Karke

Ni Chaldi Aa Kalam Banawa Tarja’n
Geet Kehndi Sun Ke Haaye Main Mar Jaa’n
Ni Tu Tan Bas Haan-e Kehndi Goriye
Tere Uttey Album Hune Kar Jaa’n

Ni Chehre Uttey Lali Aa Manali Jehi Lagdi
Jhanjhar’aa Leyada Addi Khaali Jehi Lagdi
Saari Raat Sunda Raha Main Kalla Baith Ke
Tu Nusrat Di Kawali Jehi Lagdi
