Mann atkeya beparwah de naal….
Vassdi har dam mann mere vich, Soorat yaar pyare di
Apne shoh nu aap rajhavaN, Hajat nahi pasare di
Kahe Hussain fakeer nimana, thewaN khak daware di
Mann atkeya beparwah de naal….
Us deen dunni de shah de naal….
Qazi mulla matto dainde
Khare siyane rah dasinde
Ishq ki lagge rah de naal
Mann atkeya beparwah de naal….
Us deen dunni de shah de naal….
NadioN paar ranjhan da thana
Keete qaul zaroori jana
MintaaN karaN malah de naal
Mann atkeya beparwah de naal….
Us deen dunni de shah de naal….
Sajjan bin raataN hoiyaN waddiyaN
Ranjha jogi main jogiani
Kamli kar kar saddiyaN
Sajjan bin raataN hoiyaN waddiyaN
Main haaN aayani neoh ki jana
BirhoN tanawaN gaddiyaN
Kahe Hussain fakeer sayin da
Dar te jholiaN aggiyaN
Mann atkeya beparwah de naal….
Us deen dunni de shah de naal….
