Hooooo...
Naa maaye naa bhej mujhe, mein nahi jaana pardes - (2)
Jis raanjhe sang saans judi, woh ranjha hai iss des re
Main nahi jaana khairyehan de naal
Main nahi jaana khairheyan de naal - (2)
Log kahe use ranjha jogi, mujhko to rab ka jamal
Jaane na jaane log na jaane, woh jaane mera haal Na bhej na maaye mujhko, main nahi jaana nahi jaana
Nahi jaana main nahi jaana, main nahi jaanaa
Main nahi jaana khairheyan de naal - (3)
Aa aa aa...
Band aankhon se raah dikhe naa, jhe woh jyot jagaayi
Raanjha mera din dharamra, jha hai kol khudaayi
Naa bhej na maaye mujhko, main nahi jaana nahi jaana
Nahi jaana main nahi jaana, main nahi jaana
Main nahi jaana khairheyan de naal
Ve main nahi jaana khairheyan de naal
Ve nahi main jaana khairheyan de naal
Ve...
