What is the meaning of the first line, and how do you play that game

Kokla chapaki jumeraat ayi jay
Jera aagay pichay wekhay odhi shamat ayi jay

is that the same in punjabi what we have in urdu as

KoRaa jamal shahi

and what the heck is KoRaa Jamal Shahi anyway

and what is Akkar Bakkar Bombay Bo is

what kind of language our parents were teaching us

same as "r u sleeping brother john"
rolly polly, rolly polly...
ringa ringa roses...
humpty dumpty sat on a wall.....
london bridge is falling down...
in sub ka bhi kya matlab hai....rythm , phonics, music
waisay aaba say bhi pooch loon gee

Is not that the game where you sit in a circle , facing the inside of the circle and someone circles around, singing that song ...

USA version of that is Duck, Duck, Goose

Have you ever herd of a game called "Daddi maa Daddi maa"

Which went somthing like

Daddi maa daddi maa Sher ja sakTe haaN

Then the daddi ma would reply

"Nai bacho"

there was another bit to it but i cant remember it all i remember at that point daadi ma would come after you and if u got slapped on the head you where out i think

hang on leme ask my sister

brother john was about waking up the monks in the monestary. humpty dumpty was about some war. ring around the rosies was about the bubonic plague and dying and stuff. londong bridge was about well the london bridge and how shoddy work was done on it and how so many people lived on it that it kept falling down.

the goras are just morbid i tell ya. no wonder kids grow up to be psychotic

nai she doesnt give you a list

the way we used to play it she said no three times then she would let you go then call you back lekin bache nai maante then she goes through a whole list of things to gift the kids if they come back last one being a gold Quran and then at that point kids come running back

after she asks the kids what they did, and what they brought for her in reply the kids say they ate laddoos etc. and they brought daddi ama gooN which then the daddi ama start running around trying to slap the kids

oh you played the nice version. we always played the terrible dadi version. pocha maro, jharoo maro, bartan dho, nahao dho kahngi karo etc etc.
