Away from Punjab the male Foreign worker in Germany has to survive the separation from his German lady friend with whom he has been having a relationship ever since he arrived in Germany. The essence of Punjab has been captured by using the words to record the musical sounds that a Punjabi Dholl drum makes. In foreign land with no one to turn to but his Punjab and he reminds himself of how lost he has become away from his beloved Punjab.

Punjabi Dholl drums beat those resounding thumps,
Hopes forever so empty Tak Tak Tink,
Hardly ever achieved Tink Tak Tak,
Probably so lost Tak Tak Tink,
Waiting on directionless and pathless Tink Tak Tak,
Punjabi Dholl drums repeat that resounding thumps.

Punjabi Dholl drums beat those resounding thumps,
Accompanying us each time,
Hardly noticed by anyone,
Probably death will also ignore and pass by,
Waiting and searching for another of you,
Punjabi Dholl drums repeat that resounding thumps.

Punjabi Dholl drums beat those resounding thumps,
Hopes an desires for that moment,
Hardly enough to make any secure nest,
Probably left by others as well not just knowingly,
Waiting and counting coins earned but why so worthless,
Punjabi Dholl drums repeat that resounding thumps.

Punjabi Dholl drums beat those resounding thumps,
Hopes turned to unreachable dreams,
Hardly any deeds were fruitful or satisfied,
Probably forgotten by the some German street side,
Waiting for some rescuing hopes they well warned about,
Punjabi Dholl drums repeat that resounding thumps.

Punjabi Dholl drums beat those resounding thumps,
Hopes forever so empty Tak Tak Tink,
Hardly ever achieved Tink Tak Tak,
Probably so lost Tak Tak Tink,
Waiting on directionless and pathless Tink Tak Tak,
Punjabi Dholl drums repeat that resounding thumps.
Punjabi Dholl drums repeat that resounding thumps.
