हम्म हम्म हम्म हम्म

ओ ओ ओ ओ ओ
सर पे मटकी
अँखियाँ भटकी
धीरे धीरे चलो गोरी
हो न जाये दिल की चोरी
धीरे धीरे चलो गोरी
हो न जाये दिल की चोरी
पड़ी सगरी गली है
तेरी पनघट की

हा हा पनघट की
सर पे मटकी
अँखियाँ भटकी

ओ ओ ओ
कैसे जाऊ
कैसे जाऊ पनघट पे
वह खड़ा है
ढीढ सावरिया ओ ओ
आ आ कैसे जाऊ पनघट पे
वह खड़ा है
ढीढ सावरिया
तक तक मारे
मोहे कंकरिया
फोड़े मोरि डगरिया

हा हा फोडे मोरि डगरिया

बड़ी डैम बुरी
है उस नटखट की

है उस नटखट की

बड़ी डैम बुरी

सर पे मटकी
अँखियाँ भटकी

ओ ओ ओ
पीछे पड के
पीछे पड के हाथ पकड़ के
रोके मोरि डगरिया

आ आ आ

पीछे पड के हाथ पकड़ के

रोके मोरि डगरिया

जुल्मी की करतुते देखो

खिचे मोरी चुनरिया

हाय खिचे मोरी चुनरिया

तेरी पीछे बहारे
मेरे घूँघट की

हो मेरे घूँघट की

तेरी पीछे बहार
मेरे घूँघट की





सर पे मटकी
अँखियाँ भटकी
