Ae sarhada, ae borderan, ae politicana ne bnaye hoye ne, par jo Punjabi maa bolne vale hai, vo chahe edr rehnde ne chahe odr rehn dene, sade sare sanjhe ne (These borders are made by politicans, but people who know Punjabi, be it from any corner of the world, they all are same). So jede mere desh to aye ne, India ton aye ne, ona nu vi swagat niga, te jede Pakistan ton aye ne, una nu vi swagat niga. (So people who have come my country India, and people who have come from Pakistan, I welcome you all. Thank you ma’am),” he said.
