Jehde din da vichhad gaya tun
Main kakhan wangu rul gayi
Hijr tere ne maar mukaya
Te main athru banke dul gayi
Tere pyar di khaatir sajna
Main kandeyan de vich tul gayi
Ik mahiya teri yaad na bhuldi
Baaki har shai jag di bhul gayi
Sanu bhul gayi khudai channa saari
Tere nahi khayal bhulde
Paaja sohneya tun phera ik waari
Tere nahi khayal bhulde
Duniya di har shai bhul gayi r
Par tera cheta nahi bhulda
Mainu lok shudai kehnde ne
Har vele bhulekhe pehnde ne
Aaja ghar wal phera paaja ve
Tethon sadke jaawan chann sajna
Tenu yaad karan main har vele
Naale aushiyan paawan chann ve
Mere sajna haunke mukde nahi
Kisi vele hanju sukde nahi
Kalli meri jindri te raatan ne haneriyan
Dam dam chann mahi yaadan aan teriyan
Takdiyan raah tera ankhiyan numaniyan
Gal dil diyan dil vich rhiyan ne
Aaja sajna shaaman payiyan ne
Yaadan har vele terian aundiyan ne
Meri ankhiyan mi warsaundiyan ne
Takdiyan raah tera ankhiyan numaniyan
Mor de muharan hun dil deya jaaniya
Jaawe zindagi na kalleyan guzari
Tere nahi khayal bhulde
Had wangu chadiyan ne naina diyan nadiyan
Pal da vichhoda tera lage mainu sadiyan
Kithe tur gayeyon maar ke udari
Tere nahi khayal bhulde
Terian udeekan mahiya ditta sanu rol ve
Mainu turdi phirdi nu uthdi baindi nu
Terian udeekan mahiya
Lokan de yaar nehre wasde par sanu
Terian udeekan mahiya
Terian udeekan mahiya ditta sanu rol ve
Baaj tere reh gaya e ki saade kol ve
Aaja jit gayon tu sajna main haari
Tere nahi khayal bhulde
Koi tera puchhda te muhon kujh kawan na
Kisse agge saadka main naa tere lawan na
Rowan luk luk darr di maari
Tere nahi khayal bhulde
