Ik munda meri umra da.... haay meri umra da
Ji dekho dilon ki ye baaten nahi jaanta
Zalamaan haay dekho dilon ki ye baaten nahi jaanta - (2)
(Khanke choodi meri tujhe bulaane ko
sajati hoon main tujhe hi bas dikhaane ko ) - (2)
(Kar de na paagal tujhe ) - (2)
Haay paagal tujhe
Roop mera phir mere kis kaam ka
Zalamaan haay roop mera phir mere kis kaam ka
Bol mujhse tu aankhen kyon churaata hai
Apnon se bhi kya koi sharmaata hai
Ankhiyon mein paale ankhiyaan ve paale ankhiyaan
Dil mein aane ka dikha dungi main raasta
Zalamaan haay dil mein aane ka dikha doongi main raasta
Mere jaisi tu dhoondhe nahi paayega
Rooth jaoon jo main tu pachtaayega
Nazar main na aaoongi tujhe, haay aaoongi tujhe
Yehi phirega tu yoonhi kaaq chhaanta
Zalamaan haay yaahi phirega tu yoonhi kaaq chhaanata
Ik munda meri umra ...
Oh...........
