Tore prem se simrun har dam
Mann mandir more shaam
Sanson ki maala tore naam
Jit jaaun gun tore gaaun
Aur naahi koi kaam
Logon se kahun prem kahaani Main preetam hun tori deewani
Jee chaahe tore sang sang aaun
Tore pyar se nain sajaaun
Tori yaad mein preetam pyare
Chchorun saare kaam
Sanson ki maala tore naam
Mann mein tori lagan basaaun
Aashaon ke deep jalaaun
Tujhe kyun na poojun tujhe kyun na chaahun
Mere mann ke mandir ka tu devta hai
Yaad karun tohe din raina
Tori yaad hai mann ka chain piya
Tum chanda ho neel gagan ki
Main dharti ki maati
Kaise kahun yaad mein tori
Ro ro ratiyan kaati
Ab aao shaam tohe pukaarun subho shaam
Main dukhiyaari jee se haari ho gayi mori neend haraam
Na koi saathi na koi saajan na koi mere paas saheli
Virha ki lambi raat guzaarun darr ke maari kaise akeli
Jab se laage tore sang nain piya
Tori yaad hai mann ka chain piya
Tori deed ko ankhiyan tarsat hain
Tori yaad mein har dam barsat hain
Saawan ki kaali raaton mein jab boonda baandi hoti hai
Jag sukh ki neend mein sota hai aur birha maari roti hai
Mori ro ro ke kat ti hai rain piya
Tori yaad hai mann ka chain piya
Yaad karun tohe din raina
Tore bina mohe aave na chaina
Tohe dekhun tohe chaahun
Tohe karun parnaam
Sanson ki maala tore naam
Kisko mann ki baat bataaun
Laaj ki maari mar mar jaaun
Darr laage kahin vyaakul naina
Mohe karein na badnaam
Sanson ki maala tore naam
Jeevan tore pyar ka angna
Mann chaahe tohe har dam sajna
Main balhaari prem ki maari
Kaa jaanun anjaan
Sanson ki maala tore naam
Main daasi hun tori sayiyaan
Charan pade ki thaam le bayiyaan
Main huntori prem pujaaran
Tu saajan mora raam
Sanson ki maala tore naam
