sakhi re tori doliya uthayenge kahar
sakhi re tori doliya uthayenge kahar
tore saiya khade hai dwar
tore saiya khade hai dwar
sakhi re tori doliya uthayenge kahar

aaj tere sapno ka dulha laya teri barat
aaj tere sapno ka dulha laya teri barat
laz dhari hai ghunghat se hatade
mehandi wale hath chal ab ho tayyar
tori doliya uthayenge kahar
sakhi re tori doliya uthayenge kahar

tu jinki thi unki ho gayi mil gayi tujhe murad
tu jinki thi unki ho gayi mil gayi tujhe murad
hum begane thahre hamko kaun karega yad
lijo hame vichar tori doliya uthayenge kahar
sakhi re tori doliya uthayenge kahar
tore saiya khade hai dwar
tore saiya khade hai dwar
sakhi re tori doliya uthayenge kahar
sakhi re tori doliya uthayenge kahar
