Director: Roshan
Lyricist: Indivar
Singers: Lata Mangeshkar
Mehlon ka raja mila, ki rani beti raaj karegi
Khushi Khushi kar do vida, ki rani beti raaj karegi
Galiyon galiyon dhoom machegi, kaandhe kaandhe doli chalegi
Doli mein dolega jiya, ki rani beti raaj karegi
Jis ghar jaaye swarg banade, dono kul ki laaj nibhade
Yehi baabulji denge dua, ki rani beti raaj karegi
Beti to hai dhan ki paraya, paas apne koi kab rakh paaya
Bhari karna na apna jiya, ki rani beti raaj karegi
Khushi khushi kardo vida......
