Mar jaaoon ya jee loon zaraa

Khushiyaan choom loon

Yaa ro loon zaraa

Mar jaaoon ya jee loon zaraa

Answer:

Maddham maddham teri ye geeli hasi

Saathiya... Saathiya

Sun ke hum ne saari pee li hasi

Hasti rahe tu hasti rahe, haya ki laali khilti rahe

Zulf ke neeche gardan pe subah-o-shaam milti rahe

Hasti rahe tu hasti rahe, haya ki laali khilti rahe

Teri ik hansi ke badle, meri ye zameen le le, mera aasmaan le le

Saathiya... Saathiya

Maddham maddham teri ye geeli hasi

Saathiya... Saathiya

Sun ke hum ne saari pee li hasi
