Lyrics :

Mu :naa to aaj barasaat kaa mausam naa kahin chhaai badariyaa
Phir bhi more jiyaraa mein chamake are tham-tham koi bijuriyaa
Ko :vaa-vaah-vaah toharaa javaab naahin

Mu :binaa badaraa ke bijuriyaa kaise chamake
Ko :ho binaa badaraa ke bijuriyaa kaise chamake
Mu :kaise chamake koi poochhe re hamase
Ko :kaise chamake koi poochhe re hamase
Mu :ho binaa badaraa ke ...
Ko :ho binaa badaraa ke ...

Mu :raahon mein jab gori nayanaa milaaye ke
Ko :nayanaa milaaye ke
Mu :muskaaye ghunghataa mein mukhadaa chhipaaye ke
(to mar jaayen) -2 ham to qasam se qasam se
Mu :binaa badaraa ke ...
Ko :ho binaa badaraa ke ...
Mu :kaise chamake ...
Ko :ho binaa badaraa ke ...

Mu :baithe hon jab mithe sapane sajaaye ke
Ko :sapane sajaaye ke
Mu :aise mein haule se paas kabhi aaye ke
(jo bichhavaa) -2 bajaaye de gori chham se qasam se
Mu :binaa badaraa ke ...
Ko :ho binaa badaraa ke ...
Mu :kaise chamake ...
Ko :ho binaa badaraa ke ...
