kahe ab ki ye bahar fika hai har khumar

haye re tu aaj kya se kya ho gayi
haye re tu aaj kya se kya ho gayi
kahe ab ki ye bahar
kahe ab ki ye bahar fika hai har khumar
tujhme jo bat thi wo kaha kho gayi
haye re tu aaj kya se kya ho gayi
haye re tu aaj kya se kya ho gayi
kahe ab ki ye bahar

pahla sa rang nahi kaliyo me teri
nahi wo mahak kahi galiyo me teri
pahla sa rang nahi kaliyo me teri
nahi wo mahak kahi galiyo me teri
rani teri raat ki wo kaha kho gayi
haye re tu aaj kya se kya ho gayi
haye re tu aaj kya se kya ho gayi
kahe ab ki ye bahar
kahe ab ki ye bahar fika hai har khumar
tujhme jo baat thi wo kaha kho gayi
haye re tu aaj kya se kya ho gayi
kahe ab ki ye bahar

bijli ki bindiya chamakti nahi kahe
pavan basanti bahakti nahi kahe
bijli ki bindiya chamakti nahi kahe
pavan basanti bahakti nahi kahe
sakhi teri sadgi wo kaha kho gayi
haye re tu aaj kya se kya ho gayi
haye re tu aaj kya se kya ho gayi
kahe ab ki ye bahar
kahe ab ki ye bahar fika hai har khumar
tujhme jo baat thi wo kaha kho gayi
haye re tu aaj kya se kya ho gayi
haye re tu aaj kya se kya ho gayi
kahe ab ki ye bahar
kahe ab ki ye bahar
kahe ab ki ye bahar
