tera dilbar tera sathi, le ayega dhol barati
tera dilbar tera sathi, le ayega dhol barati
tujhe hamnashin le jayega doli me bithake
mera dilbar mera sathi, le ayega dhol barati
mujhe hai yakin le jayega doli me bithake
tera dilbar tera sathi, le ayega dhol barati

duniya wale dilwalo se jane kyun jalate hai
na pucho wo chhup chhup ke kaisi chale chalate hai
apne aage ab unaki na koi chal chalegi
is dil ki angare me na unki dal galegi
mehandi joda ghode hathi, le ayega dhol barati
tujhe hamnashin le jayega doli me bithake
tera dilbar tera sathi, le ayega dhol barati

dur khadi kya dekh rahi hai aa baho me aa re
teri mang me bhar dunga mai lake chand sitare
maine jisaka sapna dekha, ye toh rat wohi hai
maare khushi ke chham chham karti, payal nach rahi hai
sundar pariya nachati gati, le ayega dhol barati
mujhe hai yakin le jayega, doli me bithake
tera dilbar tera sathi, le ayega dhol barati
tujhe hamnashin le jayega doli me bithake
mera dilbar mera sathi, le ayega dhol barati
