[Gori gori chaandani ho
Gori gori chaandani aur poonam ki raat re
Meethi meethi ...
Ho meethi meethi saajana se hongi man ki baat re
Hongi man ki baat re]-- (2)
Aaj ki hai raat ho
Aaj ki hai raat piya paas mere aayenge
Roothuungi main unase vo aake manaayenge
Aake manaayenge
O~~o~ aake manaayenge
Gaayenge khushi ke geet
Gaayenge khushi ke geet hilamil saath re
Meethi meethi ...
Ho meethi meethi saajana se hongi man ki baat re
Hongi man ki baat re
Gori gori chaandani ho
Gori gori chaandani aur poonam ki raat re
Meethi meethi ...
Ho meethi meethi saajana se hongi man ki baat re
Hongi man ki baat re
Thandi thandi pavan saloni man bhaaye re - (2)
Bindiya hamaari dekho gir gir jaaye re
Gir gir jaaye re
Bindiya hamaari dekho gir gir jaaye re ho~o
Gir gir jaaye re
Rimajhim rimajhim rimajhim rimajhim pade barasaat re
Meethi meethi ...
Ho meethi meethi saajana se hongi man ki baat re
Hongi man ki baat re
Gori gori chaandani ho

Hongi man ki baat re
Kar ke singaar ho
Kar ke singaar aaj unako rijhaaoongi
Odh ke chunariya saajan ghar jaaoongi
Saajan ghar jaaoongi ho
Saajan ghar jaaoongi
Mehandi se laal laal
Mehandi se laal laal honge mere haath re
Meethi meethi ...
Ho meethi meethi saajana se hongi man ki baat re
Hongi man ki baat re
Gori gori chaandani ho
Gori gori chaandani aur poonam ki raat re
Meethi meethi ...
Ho meethi meethi saajana se hongi man ki baat re
Hongi man ki baat re
