Vichchad gaye sajna diyan taangan mere alar zakhm jagaaye
Palak palak pardeseya karan maindi ankhiyan ne saawan laaye
Allah jaane kayiyaan payiyaan lang saal gaye kayin aaye
Yaar fareed aabaad theevan eh jhokan rabb pher vi aan basawe
Aa kaaga tainu chooriyan paawan kaddi saade vi baith banere
De paigaam koi sajna wala ve main shagan manaawan tere
Aa ke baith banere saade shayad aa jaan saajan mere Addiyan chuk chuk yaar fareedan raah takkan main shaam sawere
Sanu sochan diyan de gaya saugaatan
Te sukh maahi naal lai gaya
Rog vijog te sog hazaaran sajna tere naa de
Ohna bhaadi roz qayaamat vichchde yaar jehna de
Jaawo ni koi mod lehyaawo
Sanu sochan diyan sohna maahi de gaya saugaatan
Kise da yaar na pardes jaawe
Vichchoda na kise de pesh aawe
Ehna sukeyan phulan vich baas nahi
Pardes gayan di aas nahi
Mera sajan mere paas nahi
Sanu sochan diyan de gaya saugaatan
Te sukh maahi naal lai gaya
Naal dukhan de karaake mulaakaatan
Te sukh maahi naal lai gaya
Dil pal vi paunda e araam e
Hoyiyaan maahi baajon neendran haraam e
Taare gin gin lang diyan raatan
Te sukh maahi naal lai gaya
Raunde raunde buk buk muk jaane nain e
Har vele paunde ghaman waale wain e
Ankhan laundiyan ne dadhan barsaatan
Te sukh maahi naal lai gaya
Jadon yaad sataawe maahi di
Ankhan laundiyan barsaatan
Gujiyan ramzan ishq diyan
Bedard zamaana ki jaane
Pata dil da dil de mehram nu
Koi hor begaana ki jaane
Sek seh seh ke hijr di gham da
Dil har vele paare wangu kambda
Rabba likhiyan si merian baraatan
Te sukh maahi naal lai gaya
Baajon tere nahiyon hunda e guzaara e
Sanu rog laake kita tu kinaara e
Sanu bhul gayiyaan eidan shab raatan
Te sukh maahi naal lai gaya
