Yaar Mile lajj Paal mile,
Tad yaari laavan chass hai
Kaafir hai jehda laa ke yaari,
Pichon aakhe meri bass hai
Je dil dittiyan yaar mile,
Fir sir devan ki khass hai
Sir devin par wafa na mangin,
Eho Peer Fareed da dass hai Eho Peer Fareed da dass hai
Akh bekadran naal laayi luk luk rona pai giya (2)
Maahi kar giya waada aavan da,
Na aap aaya na paigaam aaya
Maahi kar giya waada aavan da,
Na aap aaya na paigaam aaya
Aisa rog lagga meri jindri nu,
Na maut aayi na raam aaya
Na maut aayi na raam aaya (2)
Sukh chain de neend gavaayi Luk luk rona pai giya
Akh bekadran naal laayi luk luk rona pai giya
Jis din da maahi vichad giya,
Mainu saun de chete bhull gaye ne
Akhaan mud mud raahan vekhdiyan,
Ohna aun de chete bhull gaye ne
Laggiyan da koi dard na thoda,
Haddiyan khaave nitt vichoda
Laggiyan da koi dard na thoda,
Haddiyan khaave nitt vichoda
Mera ho giya haal shudaai (2)
Luk luk rona pai giya
Akh bekadran naal laayi luk luk rona pai giya
Sunndi chadd ke tur giya raahi,
Sunndi chadd ke tur giya raahi
Waah sajna teri beparwahi, teri beparwahi, teri parwahi
Akh bekadran naal laayi
Akh bekadran naal laayi luk luk rona pai giya
Sukh chain te neend gavaayi,
Luk luk rona pai giya
Aa sajna kite ral ke bahiye,
Aa ve maahi ve Aaja
Aa sajna kite ral kite bahiye,
Te vichode nu agg laaiye
Dil mere vich eh gum rehnda,
Kite vichde na mar jaaiye
Nain milaake kar giya rogi,
Reh gayi jindri haukiyaan jogi
Nain milaake kar giya rogi,
Reh gayi jindri haukiyaan jogi
Likhi lekhaan vich rabb ne judaai (2)
Luk luk rona pai giya
Akh bekadran naal laayi luk luk rona pai giya (3)
