Woh bhar jaata hai jholi
Jo bhi inke dar pe aata hai
Fareed ud din ke dar se
Zamaana faiz paata hai
Pukaaro naam baba ka pukaaro
Milo ganj e shakar se beqaraaro
Pukaaro ya fareed pukaaro
Gham o andoh ke maaron
Zindagi yun na guzaaro
Dil se bas ya fareed pukaaro
Karam hota hai uspe jo sage darbaar hota hai
Bas unka naam lene se hi beda paar hota hai
Yeh aisa naam hai pad jaati hai har kaam mein barkat
Mere baba fareed ud din ke hai naam mein barkat
Fareed zara si ho jaaye
Duniya nu manaane di lor nahi
Lagaao aaj sab naara fareedi
Idhar aao sabhi tum besahaaron
Sabhi kehte hain baba gham ke maare
Abhi sab kaam bann jayein hamaare
Zara sa rukh se tum parda utaaro
Pukaaro naam baba ka pukaaro
Karam baba ne duniya par lutaaye
Nizam ud din aur sabir banaaye
Lo khaaki tum bhi apni bigdi sanwaaro
Pukaaro naam baba ka pukaaro
