naino mein badaraa chhaye, bijalee see chamake haaye
ayese mein balam mohe, garawaa lagaa le
madiraa mein doobee aakhiyaan, chanchal hain dono sakhiyaan
chhalatee rahegee tohe, palakon kee pyaaree pakhiyaan
sharamaake dengee tohe, madiraa ke pyaale
preamadiwaanee hoo mai, sapanon kee raanee hoo mai
pichhale janam se teree, praem kahaanee hoo mai
aa is janam mein bhee too, apanaa banaa le
ayese mein balam mohe, garawaa lagaa le
madiraa mein doobee aakhiyaan, chanchal hain dono sakhiyaan
chhalatee rahegee tohe, palakon kee pyaaree pakhiyaan
sharamaake dengee tohe, madiraa ke pyaale
preamadiwaanee hoo mai, sapanon kee raanee hoo mai
pichhale janam se teree, praem kahaanee hoo mai
aa is janam mein bhee too, apanaa banaa le
