Jaare badra bairi, ja ja jare
Piya ka sandesa laa re
[Pee ke dars kko jiyara tarse,
Pee ki khabariya la re]-- (2)
Jaare badra bairi...
Baat takat mori haari
Nazariyan kab aayege saawariyan
Mohe kyun sataye paapi shor machaaye
Bairi mera saawariyan, lare lare lare
Jaare badra bairi....
Kahiyon sajan se mann ki batiyya
Ro ro haal sunaaye,
Jaare.....
