Ik vaari haan keh de mutiyare
Ik vaari haan keh de (x4)

Baneya main tere layi aan
Jeenda main tere layi aan
Ravanga main tera banke saari umraan

Na tu jaavi mainu chhad
Main ta manna tenu Rabb
Tere bina o tu Heer meri rehna

Ik vaari haan keh de mutiyare
Ik vaari haan keh de
Ik vaari… (ik vaari)

Pehli mohabbat ka ehsaas hai tu
Bujhke bhi bujh na paayi
Woh pyaas hai tu (x2)

Tu hi meri pehli khwahish
Tu hi aakhiri hai
Meri zindagi hai
Meri har khushi hai
Meri rooh ne kabki tujhko
Haan keh di hai (haan keh…)

Ikk vaari haan keh de mutiyare
Ikk vaari haan keh de mutiyare
Ikk vaari haan keh de mutiyare
Ik vari haan keh de
Ik vari haan keh de mutiyare
Ik vaari haan keh de

(Ik vaari.. haan..)

Jeen di na khwahish hai
Na marna gawara hai
Ik din main tere layi
Chhadna jag saara ae

Tu ni hundi neend ni aundi
Kundi vi tan kehdi aa jandi (x2)

Ik vaari haan keh de mutiyare
Ik vaari haan keh de

Har zakham dil ka mere
Dil se duaa de
Khushiyan tujhe, gham saare mujhko Khuda de

Tujhko bhula na paaya
Meri bebasi hai
Tu.. meri zindagi hai
Tu.. meri har khushi hai
Tu hi pyaar, tu hi chahat
Tu hi aashiqui hai

Meri zindagi hai
Meri har khushi hai
Meri rooh ne kabki tujhko
Haan keh di hai (haan keh di..)

(Ik vaari.. haan..)

Laa main betha tere naal
Dil diyan saari gal
Chal mere naal chal
Saari umraan..

Dil dehe buha kholan
Sachi suchi gal bolan
Thoda jeha hun main rolan
Inni khushiyan oye..
Inni khushiyan…)

(Nidra mein kisne yaad kiyo re
Nidra mein kisne yaad kiyo re
Jagaaye saari raina re
Piya jagaave, jiya jagaave,
diya jigaave re

who recalled me in the sleep..
who thought of me in the sleep..
keeps me awake all night..
the beloved keeps me up. the heart keeps me up....
even the lamp keeps me up...

Aave re hitchki
Aave re hitchki
Aave re hitchki
Hitch.. Aave re hitchki
Aave re hitchki
Aave re hitchki

i got a hiccup...

O.. Sandesha aayo na
Chithiya bhijaayi
Saavan mein sookhe naina re

there was no message..
and no letter sent [be my beloved]..
my eyes have dried [ after crying too much]
in the month or rain..

Talaiya sookhi
Kikhad sookha
Bheetar sookha re

the pond is dry..
the keekar shrub is dry..
and in side it.s dry too..



Dhoop mundere chadh gayo dhola
Jal gayo saari chhaanv re
Aangan paar karoon main kaise
Talve jale mere paanv ke

o beloved ,the sun has xome over the wall
and all the shades is burnd..
how do i cross the courtyard...
the soles of my fee burn.....

Talaiya sookhi
Kikhad sookha
Bheetar sookha re

Aave re hitchki (x3)

O meri janiya re
Shaam dhale jo
Chand chadhe toh
Phir na rulaiyo re
O meri janiya re

Meri jaan ki saugandh hai
Yaad na aaiyo re

o my life...
when evening comes..
and moon rises..
dont make me cry...
o my life...
i make you sweay on my life...
don't come to my momris..

O piya jagaave, jiya jagaave
Diya jagaave re

Talaiya sookhi
Kikhad sookha
Bheetar sookha re

Janiya o janiya
Mann tarse
Ghan barse
Mann tarse ghan barse

Mann tarse (tarse)
Ghan barse (barse)
Barse mann ghan barse re

o my life ..o. my life
heat craves..
clouds rain..
the hreat craves as clouds make it rain..

O mann tarse
Ghan barse
Badri sune na re

the heart craves..
clous make it pour...
the over cast heart pours...

Talaiya sookhi
Kikhad sookha
Bheetar sookha re

Aave re hitchki
Aave re hitchki
Aave re hitchki…
Hitchki aave re
Hitch hitchki aave re
Hitchki aave re
Aave re, aave re
Aave re hitchki
Aave re hitchki
Jagaye saari raina re

Talaiya.. kikhad..

Bheetar sookha re
