Jhoomta Aa raha hain kyun badal
Jhoomta Aa raha hain kyun badal
Jhoomta Aa raha hain kyun badal
Yeh bhi shayad koi sharabi hain
Ja re mastaana
Ja re mastaana nazar gulabi hain
Ja re mastaana nazar gulabi hain
Jaam jisne kha liya hain fanaa Jaam jisne utha liya hain fanaa
Uski Kismat mein kamayabi hain
Ja re mastaana
Ja re mastaana nazar gulabi hain
Ja re mastaana nazar gulabi hain
