मेहंदी तेरे नाम की
मेरे हाथो मे लगे तो रंग लाल
मेहंदी तेरे नाम की
पिया माँगे रे, पिया माँगे रे माँगे रे
मेरी माँग लाली तोसे श्याम की
गोरी नदिया का गोरा बदन झूमे
गोरी नदिया का गोरा बदन झूमे
तुझे देखे तो ठंडी पवन झूमे
चूड़ी छनके जैसे कोई गीत मिलन का गाये
छन छन करती पायल तुझको अपने पास बुलाए
माँगे माँगे
पिया माँगे रे माँगे रे
मेरी माँग लाली तोसे श्याम की
मेरे हाथो मे लगे तो रंग लाल
मेहंदी तेरे नाम की
आ आ आ आ
आ आ आ आ
जाने कबसे मैं देखु यही सपना
रहु बनके दुल्हनिया तेरे अंगना
जाने कबसे मैं देखु यही सपना
रहु बनके दुल्हनिया तेरे अंगना
मेरे तन की डाली तेरी बाहों मे खिल जाए
झूम उठी माथे की बिंदिया तू जो अंग लगाए
माँगे माँगे
पिया माँगे रे माँगे रे
मेरी माँग लाली तोसे श्याम की
मेरे हाथो मे लगे तो रंग लाल
मेहंदी तेरे नाम की
मेहंदी तेरे नाम की
मेहंदी तेरे नाम की
