prem ka rog bada bura

maaka naka ga baai maaka naka

aisa mere ko meri maan ne kaha

maaka naka naka baai maaka naka

prem ka rog bada bura



ro ro ka kate ye din kahaan kal raaton ko rahungi

nanhe se dil mein baaba kaise main ye dukh sahungi

kachchi kali hoon rang dekho zara

dil dil dil bhi hai naazuk mera

prem ka rog bada bura



phir bhi karoon main kya ki tu bada pyaara mohe laage

par kaise tera mera milan ho tu hi bataade

abhi abhi abhi haath chhodo mera

dekho dekho dekho koi hai teesara

prem ka rog bada bura
