Lyrics of Song[edit | edit source]
Ye kudiyaan nashe di pudiyaan
Ye munde gali de gunde
Ye kudiyaan nashe di pudiyaan
Ye munde gali de gunde
Nashe di pudiyaan
Gali de gunde..
O.. o..
Mehndi laga ke rakhna
Doli saja ke rakhna
Mehndi laga ke rakhna
Doli saja ke rakhna
Lene tujhe o gori
Aayenge tere sajna
Mehndi laga ke rakhna
Doli saja ke rakhna
Oh.. ho.. oh.. ho..
O.. aa..
Sehra saja ke rakhna
Chehra chhupa ke rakhna
Sehra saja ke rakhna
Chehra chhupa ke rakhna
Yeh dil ki baat apne
Dil mein dabake rakhna
Sehra saja ke rakhna
Chehra chhupa ke rakhna
Mehndi laga ke rakhna
Doli saja ke rakhna
Hoye.. hoye.. hoye..
Hoye.. hoye.. hoye..
Bhurrr..
Ud udke teri zulfein
Karti hain kya ishaare
Dil thaam ke khade hain
Aashiq sabhi kanware
Chhup jaayein saari kudiyaan
Ghar mein sharam ke maare
Gaanv mein aa gaye hain
Paagal shehar ke saare
Nazrein jhuka ke rakhna
Daaman bacha ke rakhna
Nazrein jhuka ke rakhna
Daaman bacha ke rakhna
Lene tujhe o gori
Aayenge tere sajna
Mehndi laga ke rakhna
Doli saja ke rakhna
Sehra saja ke rakhna
Chehra chhupa ke rakhna
Oh.. ho.. oh.. ho.. aa..
Main ek jawaan ladka
Tu ek haseen ladki
Ye dil machal gaya toh
Mera kusoor kya hai
Rakhna tha dil pe kaabu
Ye husn toh hai jaadu
Jaadu ye chal gaya to
Mera kusoor kya hai
Rasta hamara takna
Darwaaza khula rakhna
Rasta hamara takna
Darwaaza khula rakhna
Lene tujhe o gori
Aayenge tere sajna
Kuchh aur ab na kehna
Kuchh aur ab na karna
Kuchh aur ab na kehna
Kuchh aur ab na karna
Yeh dil ki baat apne
Dil mein dabake rakhna
Mehndi laga ke rakhna
Doli saja ke rakhna
Sehra saja ke rakhna
Chehra chhupa ke rakhna
Shava hoye.. hoye.. hoye.. (Repeat 7 times)
Shava..
