dhoop se chhanke
dhoop se chhanke dhua mann hua
roop ye chamke tan anchhua aa
chhidte hai, bajte hai taar jo mann ke
khanke jhanke hai, kuchh to hua aa
dhoop se chhanke dhua mann hua aa

rom rom naapta hai, rago mein saanp sa hai
sar ra ra sarr ra ra ra bhaage bewajah
rom rom naapta hai, rago mein saanp sa hai
sar ra ra sarr ra ra ra bhaage bewajah
sarke hai, khiske hai mujh mein ye baske
daske de gaya dard bedawa aa
dhoop se chhanke dhua mann hua aa
chhidte hai, bajte hai taar jo mann ke
khanke jhanke hai
