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
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
