a a a a
aayi aayi basanti bela
laga re laga phulon ka ban-ban mela
magan mann jhum raha
jhum raha jhum raha jhum raha
aaj aanand ka bahaar rela
ke gun-gun gaaye bhanvar alabela
kali ka mukh chum raha, aayi aayi
jhum raha jhum raha jhum raha
aayi aayi
naache kaliyaan ?? naache ghoonghat nikaal
pile pipal ki daal deve patton ki taal
aaj koyi nahin hai akela ! - 2
milan ki bela lagan ka mela
magan mann jhum raha aayi aayi
jhum raha jhum raha jhum raha
(jhana na na na...
chhum chhana na na na... baaje
pag-pag-pag-pag painjaniyaan !) - 2
(alabeli naar sajake singaar
anchara sanbhaal aayi pi ke dvaar) - 2
nainon mein laaj adharon mein pyaar - 2
man mein haan haan -

chhum chhananananana
jhana na na na... baaje
pag-pag-pag-pag painjaniyaan
jhana na na na...
chhum chhana na na na... baaje
pag-pag-pag-pag painjaniyaan
kahin baaje mridang kahin baaje re jang (?)
kahin pichakaari pichakaari chhute re rang
aaj rangili rangon ka mela ! - 2
milan ki bela lagan ka mela
magan mann jhum raha
jhum raha jhum raha jhum raha
aayi aayi basanti bela
