Sawan aaya rim jhim saware
Aaye badal kare kare matware
Pyar pyare more angana jhum ke
Ghir ghir aayi udi udi dekho mast ghataye
Fur fur aaj udaye aachal mora sard hawaye
Dari dari pe bhawra ghum ke
Aaye kaliyo ke mukhde chum ke
Jiya mora jalaye haye re Pyari pyari rut sawre
More saiya to hai pardesh
Mai kya karu sawan ko
More saiya to hai pardesh
Mai kya karu sawan ko
Suna lage sajan bin desh
Suna lage sajan bin desh
Mai dhudhu sajan ko
More saiya to hai pardesh
Mai kya karu sawan ko
More saiya to hai pardesh
Dekhu rahe chad ke atriya
Jane kab aa jawe sawriya
Dekhu rahe chad ke atriya
Jane kab aa jawe sawriya
Jab se gaye mori li na khabariya
Chuta panghat futi gagariya
Suna lage sajan bin desh
Suna lage sajan bin desh
Mai dhudu sajan ko
More saiya to hai pardesh
Mai kya karu sawan ko
More saiya to hai pardesh
Sawan aaya rim jhim saware
Aaye badal kare kare matware
Pyar pyare more angana jhum ke
Ghir ghir aayi udi udi dekho mast ghataye
Fur fur aaj udaye aachal mora sard hawaye
Dari dari pe bhawra ghum ke
Aaye kaliyo ke mukhde chum ke
Jiya mora jalaye haye re
Pyari pyari rut sawre
Kyu pahnu mai pag me payal
Man to hai mujgir gum ka ghayal
Kyu pahnu mai pag me payal
Man to hai mujgir gum ka ghayal
Mere se khali mori ankhiya bhojan
Rote rote bah gaya kajan
Suna lage sajan bin desh
Suna lage sajan bin desh
Mai dhudu sajan ko
More saiya to hai pardesh
Mai kya karu sawan ko
More saiya to hai pardesh
Sawan aaya rim jhim saware
Aaye badal kare kare matware
Pyar pyare more angana jhum ke
Ghir ghir aayi udi udi dekho mast ghataye
Fur fur aaj udaye aachal mora sard hawaye
Dari dari pe bhawra ghum ke
Aaye kaliyo ke mukhde chum ke
Jiya mora jalaye haye re
Pyari pyari rut sawre
More saiya to hai pardesh
Mai kya karu sawan ko
More saiya to hai pardesh
Mai kya karu sawan ko
Suna lage sajan bin desh
Suna lage sajan bin desh
Mai dhudhu sajan ko
More saiya to hai pardesh
Mai kya karu sawan ko
More saiya to hai pardesh.
