Lyrics transliterated:

Itna Maza, Kyun Aa Raha Hai; Tune Hawa Mein Bhaang Milaya

Itna Maza, Kyun Aa Raha Hai; Tune Hawa Mein, Bhaang Milaya

Dugna Nasha, Kyun Ho Raha Hai; Aankhon Se Meetha, Tune Khilaya

Ho Teri Malmal Ki Kurti Gulabi Ho Gayi; Manchali Chaal Kaise,Nawaabi Ho Gayi,

Balam Pichkari Jo Tune Mujhe Maari; Toh Seedhi Saadi Chhori,Sharaabi Ho Gayi

Haa Jiens Pahen Ke,Jo Tune Maara Thumka; Toh Lattoo Padosan Ki Bhabhi Ho Gayi.

Balam Pichkari, Jo Tune Mujhe Maari Toh; Seedhi Saadi Chhori Sharabi Ho Gayi

Haa Jiens Pahen Ke,Jo Tune Maara Thumka; Toh Lattoo Padosan Ki, Bhabhi Ho Gayi.

Teri Kalai Hai,Haathon Mein Aayi Hai; Maine Maroda Toh, Lagti Malai Hai

Mehnga Padega Yeh, Chaska Malaai; Upvaas Karne Mein, Teri Bhalaai Hai

Ho Bindiya Teri Mehtaabi Ho Gayi; Dilke Armanon Mein Be-Hisabi Ho Gayi To

Balam Pichkari, Jo Tune Mujhe Maari; Toh Seedhi Saadi Chhori,Sharaabi Ho Gayi

Haa Jiens Pahen Ke Jo Tune Maara Thumka; Toh Lattoo Padosan Ki Bhabhi Ho Gayi

Kyun ‘No-Vacancy’ Ki; Hothon Peh Gaali Hai

Jabki Tere Dil Ka, Kamra Toh Khaali Hai,

Kamra Toh Khaali Hai

Mujhko Pata Hai Re, Kya Chahata Hai Tu; Boli Bhajan Teri, Neeyat Qawwali Hai

Zulmi Yeh Haazir-Jawaabi Ho Gayi; Tu Toh Har Taale Ki

Balam Pichkari Jo Tune Mujhe Maari; Toh Seedhi Saadi Chhori Sharaabi Ho Gayi

Haa, Jiens Pehan Ke Jo Tune Maara Thumka; Toh Lattoo Padosan Ki Bhabhi Ho Gayi

Haan, Bole Re Zamana, Kharabi Ho Gayi

Haan, Bole Re Zamana,Kharabi Ho Gayi.
