Yara Dakk Lae Khooni Akhiya Nu

Ajj Takk Ke Teri Makhmoor Nigah
Zahid Bhee Imano Hill Chaleya
Yara Dakk Lae Khooni Akhiya Nu
Enna Taiz Nazar Di Teera To Dil Paara Paara Ho Gaye Ne
Yara Dakk Lae Khooni Akhiya Nu
Parde Vich Teer Cholna Ae
Inj Lutf Nhi Teer Chalawan Da
Yara Dakk Lae Khooni Akhiya Nu
Beh Ke Kaleya Vichore Wale Geet Gaundiya
Akh Lar Gayi Jena Di Oh Nahi Ankh Londiya
Yara Dakk Lae Khooni Akhiya Nu
Teer Naina De Rok Wey Mahi
Asi Waar Jhalan Nahi Joge
Aisi Pehli Jhalak Marore Gaye Aan
Rahe Yaar Hilane Nahi Joge
Yara Dakk Le Khooni Akhiya Nu
Eh Jagdeya Na Waar Karan
Eh Khwaba Vich Ve Dasdiya Ne
Akhiya Da Wasah Nai Sambh Ke Rakh
Pata Lagda Nai Kado Lar Jawan
Yara Dakk Lae Khooni Akhiya Nu
Yara Dakk Lae Khooni Akhiya Nu
Sanu Tak Tak Mar Mukaya Eh
Dil Jaan Jigar Zakhmi Keete
Nazran Da teer Chalaya Ae
Jehnu Waikhiya Ae Ohnu Mareya Ae
Shah e Shamas Da Gosh Lahaya

Jehnu Wekhya Eh Ohnu Mareya Eh
Eh Ishq ve walaa Ehde Kam ve Awalle
Jidde Paish Pay Janda Kakh Chade Na Palle
Jehnu Wekhya Eh Ohnu Mareya Eh
Pehle soch le vi ishq lukoya ve nahi jana
Dilo jaano Qurban Tetho hoya vene jana
Jehnu Wekhya Eh Ohnu Maareya Eh
Dass kisnu paar utarya eh
Sassi Saarh Sitti, Mari Heer Jatti,
Sohni Dubb Gayi Paar Na Laya Ae
Teri Nazar De Mare Mar Gaye Aa
Tere Ishq De Sarheya Sarrh Gye Aa
Tere Kuteya De Koi Pair Chummey
Koi Ban Jogi Ghar Aya Ae
Asan Chumm Chumm Seenay Rakhiya Ne
Eh Khanjar Ne Ya Ankhiya Ne
Ehna Chireya Yaar Pahara Noo
Katt Cheer Qabab Banaya Ae
Qurbaan Mein Naaz Adawa Ton
Mere Hamdarda, Hamdardi Da Shukriya
Menu is Dard vich Mubtla Rehan De
Nabzan Chad De Tabiba Tu Rogi Diya
La Dawa Marz Nu Bas La Dawa Rehan De
Mere Hamdarda, Hamdardi Da Shukriya
Menu is Dard vich Mubtla Rehan De
Nabzan Chad De Tabiba Tu Rogi Diya
La Dawa Marz Nu Bas La Dawa Rehan De
Qurbaan Mein Naaz Adawa Ton
Beqadra Naal Ankhiya Asan Takde Rahe
Oho Sangde Rahe Zakham Honde Rahe
Dil Ronda Reha Par Nain Naina Nu Dangde Rahe
Qurbaan Mein Naaz Adawa Ton
Qurbaan Mein Naaz Adawa Ton
Qurbaan Mein Naaz Adawa Ton
Qurbaan Mein Naaz Adawa Ton
Qurbaan Mein Naaz Adawa Ton
Dil Sadqe Teriiya Rahwan Ton
Koi Hass Hass Sooli Charhda Ae

Tera Teer Nizami Kaari Ae
Jind Sadqe Lakh Lakh Waari Ae
Jind Sadqe Meri Jind Sadqe Meri
Mull Na Kar Yara Ankhiya Da
Mera Dil Qurbaan Meri Jaan Sadqe
Jind Sadke Meri Jind Sadke Meri
Mull Na Kar Yara Ankhiya Da
Mera Dil Qurbaan Meri Jaan Sadqe
Jind Sadke Meri Jind Sadke Meri
Aajaye Nazar Khuda Saqi
Ehna Teria Mast Nighawa To
Kausar Qurban Rizwan Sadqe
Band Kar Na Dar Maikhane Da

Ehna Tez Katariya Palka To
Hasrat Qurban Arman Sadqe
Jind Sadke Meri Jind Sadke Meri
Tera Yaar Nizami Deewana
Teri Mast Nazar Da Mastana
Makhmoor Nazar Di Masti To
Tann Mann Mera Te Imaan Sadqe
Jind Sadke Meri Jind Sadke Meri
Tera Teer Nizami Kaari Ae
Jind Sadqe Lakh Lakh Waari Ae
Aiwen Russ Ke Yaar Diwane Noo
Kanjri Da Nach Nachaya Ae
Yaara Dak Le Khooni Akhian Nu
Sanu Tak Tak Mar Mukaya Eh
