Is duniya mein jeena ho to sun lo meri baat
(Gham chhodke manaao rangreli
Aur maan lo jo kahe Kittykelly) - 2
(Jeena uska jeena hai jo haste gaate jee le
Zulfon ki ghanghor ghata mein nain ke saagar pee le) - 2
Jo karna hai aaj hi kar lo, kal ko kisne dekha
Aayi hain rangeen bahaarein leke din rangeele
O is duniya mein jeena ho to sun lo meri baat
Is duniya mein jeena ho to sun lo meri baat
(Gham chhodke manaao rangreli
Aur maan lo jo kahe Kittykelly) - 2
(Main albeli chingaari hoon, naachoon aur laheraaoon
Daaman daaman phool khilaaoon aur khushiyaan barsaaoon) - 2
Duniya waalon tum kya jaano jeene ki yeh baatein
Aao meri mehfil mein to yeh baatein samjhaaoon
O is duniya mein jeena ho to sun lo meri baat
Is duniya mein jeena ho to sun lo meri baat
(Gham chhodke manaao rangreli
Aur maan lo jo kahe Kittykelly) - 2
