more khwaja tum hi ko mori laaj
khwaja ji maharaja ji tum bado ghareeb nawaaj
apna kar ke raakhiyo tohe baahn pakre ki laaj
tumre dware aan padi hoon waliyan ke maharaj
more khwaja tum hi toh mori laaj
aye maharaj suratiya waale
mori baat banat tora kya jaawat
more augan pe tum nigah na karo tum apne kiye ka nibah karo
main buri hoon bhali hoon tihari hoon
mere khwaja more pe daya karo
khwaja usmaan ke dilbar jani
mori sun lo dard kahani
tohe dwar pade jug beet gaye
mori aas na todo ghareeb nawaaj
tann mann warun lagun payiyan
chchor na khwaja thaam ke bahiyan
tumre dware aan padi hun
waliyan ke maharaj
ek najariya kar do prem ki sab ke bann jayein kaam
tum ajmer ke khwaja tumra bada jagat mein naam
nagar nagar mein charcha tora nagar nagar tora naam
more khwaja tumhi ko mori laaj
mori beet na jaye umariya
mori rang do maili chunariya
darpat hun darshan ko tore
jee ko naahi chain
khwaja mohe daras dikha do
taras gaye more nain
kadmon tere aan giri hoon
patt rakhiyo mori aaj
more khwaja tumhi ko mori laaj
har jholi bhar poori har ik ke bhaag jagaawo
panjtan paak ka sadka banto aue sakhi kehlao
tum khwaja tum sab ke khwaja tore sar par taaj
more khwaja tum hi ko mori laaj
tum maati ko jo dekho to maati sona hoye
jaise jagat mein tum na dirho aisa mile na koye
jabse tore sang lagi more bigre bann gaye kaaj
more khwaja tum hi ko mori laaj
