Lyrics transliterated:

Ja Re Ja; Ja Re Ja Oo Harjayi; Dekhi Teri Dildaari

Dil Dekar Main Kar Baithi; Dil Ke Dushman Se Yaari

Tujhko Aankhon Mein Bhar Ke; Tujhko Aankho Mein Bhar Ke

Mar Gayi Main Tujh Pe Mar Ke; Patthar Ki Pooja Kar Ke Haari Main Haari

Ja Re Ja; Ja Re Ja Oo Harjayi; Dekhi Teri Dildaari

Dil Dekar Main Kar Baithi; Dil Ke Dushman Se Yaari

Tere Pichhe Aankhein Niche Chal Di Main Deewani Haay; Chhodke Duniya Saari Ho Oo

Logon Ne Kitna Samjhaya Maine Ek Na Maani Meri Mat Gayi Thi Maari

Yun Na Koi Mare; Yun Na Koi Mare; Rabba Kher Kare Hoo

Hansi Hansi Mein; Phans Gayi Main To Bechari

Ja Re Ja; Ja Re Ja Oo Harjayi; Dekhi Teri Dildaari

Dil Dekar Main Kar Baithi; Dil Ke Dushman Se Yaari

Bin Soche Bin Jaane Maine;Oh Re Oh Begaane Tujhe Saump Diya Jeewan Koo

Jaise Khushbu Nazar Na Aaye Rang Chhua Na Jaaye Waise Jaan Saki Na Tere Mann Ko

Phir Bhi Chaha Tujhe; Phir Bhi Chaha Tujhe

Tu Na Samjha Mujhe Hoo; Ban Ke Paheli Reh Gayi Preet Hamari

Ja Re Ja; Ja Re Ja Oo Harjayi; Dekhi Teri Dildaari

Dil Dekar Main Kar Baithi; Dil Ke Dushman Se Yaari

Tujhko Aankhon Mein Bhar Ke; Tujhko Aankhon Mein Bhar Ke

Mar Gayi Main Tujh Pe Mar Ke; Patthar Ki Pooja Kar Ke Haari Main Haari

Ja Re Ja; Ja Re Ja Oo Harjayi; Dekhi Teri Dildaari

Dil Dekar Main Kar Baithi; Dil Ke Dushman Se Yaari
