khushi-khushi kar do bida tumhaari beti raaj karegi
galiyon-galiyon dhoom machegi -2
kaandhe-kaandhe doli chalegi
doli mein dolega jiya -2
ke raani beti raaj karegi
khushi-khushi kar do bida ...
jis ghar jaaye swarg bana de -2
dono kul ki laaj nibha de
yahi baabul ji denge dua -2
ke raani beti raaj karegi
khushi-khushi kar do bida ...
beti to hai dhan hi paraaya -2
paas apne koi kab rakh paaya
bhaari karna na apna jiya -2
tumhaari beti raaj karegi
khushi-khushi kar do bida ...
