dil mahi sang huye jidhar gaya
hud mauja hi mauja, tera sahare, hud mauja hi mauja

mauja hi mauja, sham savere, hud mauja hi mauja
pyar se tere, hud mauja hi mauja, udthe bhadi hud, mauja hi mauja
(oh mahi mera sone varga, oh mahi tenu cham cham rakna
oh mahi mera dil menu dei de dil menu dei de, rajke takna)- 2
kol bhithake, oh mahi tere, sej sajake
oh mahi, tere sang mere gal huye, har ek pal huye
dil be hal dehko bikhar gaya
jag jag sara jag sara nikhar gaya hud pyar ka hawadevich bikhar gaya-4
dil tera hoi jaye apran jul jaye, mar udhle dekho zikhar gaya
hud mauja hi mauja, pyar pake, hud mauja hi mauja
