Akhe lag ja haje vi dila mere
Ohnu yaad na kar ohne aawna nahi
Ohde aawan di tu evein aas rakhi
Phera os bedard ne paawna nahi
Dhakka kha na vich haneriyan de
Diwa pyar da os jagawna nahi
Kajja rehna udeekan da buha saadik
Kunda hun kade os khadkaawna nahi
Jehnu karna e yaad dila os nahiyo aauna
Jehnu karna e yaad dila os nahiyo aauna
Jehnu karna e yaad dila os nahiyo aauna
Ehna yaadan de sahaare tere kise kam nahi
Jehnu karna e yaad dila os nahiyo aauna
Ehna yaadan de sahaare tere kise kam nahi
Jaawan waale mud nahi aaunde
Vichchad gaye ni phera paunde
Oh na aaunde umaran saari
Jehde jaande maar udaari
Karke kaul nibhaunda koi nahi
Jaake ke waapis aunda koi nahi
Pyar bhul ja tu os harjaayi da
Hajje vi dila meri mann lai
Kadi der na launda oh saunh rabb di
Kite kaulan da je ohnu paas hunda
Kise dukh ni wadaunde
Kise mud nahi auna
Jehne mod leha mukh
Ohne phera nahi pauna
Mukh mod gayan tethon
Jhok wakh na wasaunda
Hunda pyar te oh kade
Tenu chchad ke na jaunda
Jehnu karna e yaad dila os nahiyo aauna
Ehna yaadan de sahaare tere kise kam nahi
Jehda tur jaawe ik waari mud ke nahi aaunda
Hun e athru nakaare tere kise kam nahi
Laa le dukhan da takewan zara ankh nood lai
Ghadi pal tu vi neendran di peengh jhooth lai
Kanu takdan e evein ehna wal raat nu
Hun chann te sitaare tere kise kam nahi
Ohne auna hunda kadi nahi si deran launiyan
Ohnu bhul ke vi terian nahi yaadan auniyan
Evein rakh na tu jhalleya udeekan ohdiyan
Jehde laa gaya oh laare tere kise kam nahi
Howe yaar jadon kol te bahaar maza dewe
Bagahan vich bulbulan shor ni machaundiyan
Saun diyan rutan samay pyar de sajaundiyan
Zindagi ch thode din hunde ne bahaar de
Oh lainde jehde katheyan guzaarde
Sajna naal hi changiyan lagdiyan
Saun diyan barsaatan
Howe yaar jadon kol te bahaar maza dewe
Phulan kaliyan da haar te singaar maza dewe
Change lagde ne yaaran naal samay pyar de
Hun e rutan de nazaare tere kise kam nahi
Jeuna wakh reh ke yaar ton nahi changa lagda
Mela chchad de tu bhareya paraya jag da
Laye jehde kolon saadika tu ohnu mod de
Hun e saanh vi udhaare tere kise kam nahi
