Mere dkuhan nu yara jane kalla kalla tara
Ve mei bhuk bhuk rowan jadu sonda jag sara
Dardi mein kise naal kardi na gal ey
Ithe gal gal uthe pejande de wal we
Je tu nai si nibhani kalo laya jhota lara
Mere dkuhan nu yara jane kalla kalla tara Ve mei bhuk bhuk rowan jadu sonda jag sara
Sari sari raat meri lagdi na akh we
Yaad teri hundi mei tu pal vi na rakh.
Dil cheerda ey rehnda tere dukhan wala aara
Mere dkuhan nu yara jane kalla kalla tara
Ve mei bhuk bhuk rowan jadu sonda jag sara
Her wele socha menu terian ne khandian
Mei tu yeh judain dhola chalian mei jandiya
Kalli koong wango kooka koi chalda na chara
Mere dkuhan nu yara jane kalla kalla tara
Ve mei bhuk bhuk rowan jadu sonda jag sara
Beete hoay samay da khayal nayo bhulda
Akkha vich jigar da lao rehnda tulda
Menu roag lake mahi kithe keeta tu kinara
Mere dkuhan nu yara jane kalla kalla tara
Ve mei bhuk bhuk rowan jadu sonda jag sara
Tu ki jane sade naal jediyan ne beetiyan
Pyar deyan werian ne ki ki gallan keetian
Aja hun tere baju auka sajna guzara
Mere dkuhan nu yara jane kalla kalla tara
Ve mei bhuk bhuk rowan jadu sonda jag sara
Mere dkuhan nu yara jane kalla kalla tara
Mere dkuhan nu yara jane kalla kalla tara
Mere dkuhan nu yara jane kalla kalla tara...
