wada na tod, tu wada na tod
tu wada na tod, tu wada na tod (2)
(meri chadhti jawaani tadpe
tu munh na mod, tu wada na tod
tu wada na tod, tu wada na tod) 2
(neend humaari piya, tune churaayi
kahaa chupa hai piya tu hai harjaayi) 2
meri chadthi jawaani ..... tu wada na tod
(koi nahin hai tere mere bin yahan pe
chal baithe chhao tale dekh wahan pe) 2
meri chadthi jawaani ..... tu wada na tod
(wada nibana hoga saajan tujhko
doli mein bhi taake apne daal le jaa mujhko) 2
meri chadthi jawaani ..... tu wada na tod (2)
