aayee ab ki saal divaali
chaaroN taraf hai ghor andheraa ghar mein kaise deep jale
aayee ab ki saal divaali
baalak tarse phuljhaDiyoN ko, (deepoN ko deevaaren -2)
maaN ki godi sooni sooni, (aaNgan kaise sanvaare -2)
raah mein unki jaao ujaaloN ban mein jinki shaam Dhale
aayee ab ki saal divaali
jinke dam se jagmag jagmag (karti thi ye raaten -2)
chori chori ho jaati thi (man se man ki baaten -2)
chhoD chale vo ghar mein amaavas, jyoti lekar saath chale
aayee ab ki saal divaali
Tap-Tap Tap-Tap Tapke aaNsoo, (chhalki khaali thaali -2 )
jaane kyaa kyaa samjhaati hai (aaNkhoN ki ye laali -2)
shor machaa hai aag lagi hai kaTte hain parvat pe gale
aayee ab ki saal divaali muNh par apne khoon male
chaaroN taraf hai ghor andheraa ghar mein kaise deep jale
aayee ab ki saal divaali
