Lyrics transliterated:

Aye Meri Topi Palat Ke Aa; Naa Apne Funtoosh Ko Sata

Aye Meri Dilbar Idhar Nazar Kar Na Ja Bichhad Kar; Na Ja Na Ja

Aye Meri Topi Palat Ke Aa; Naa Apne Funtoosh Ko Sata

Aye Meri Dilbar Idhar Nazar Kar Na Ja Bichhad Kar; Na Ja Na Ja

Aye Meri Topi Palat Ke Aa

Aye Meri Humjoli; Tu Bhi Gair Ki Ho Li

Tu Bhi De Gayi Dhakka, Ha Ha!

Auron Ke Sang Ghoome; Ithalaye Aur Jhoome

Dekhun Main Bhauchakka

Meri Topi; Meri Topi; Meri Topi; Meri Topi

Aye Meri Dilbar Idhar Nazar Kar Na Ja Bichhad Kar; Na Ja Na Ja

Aye Meri Topi Palat Ke Aa; Naa Apne Funtoosh Ko Sata

Aye Meri Dilbar Idhar Nazar Kar Na Ja Bichhad Kar; Na Ja Na Ja

Aye Meri Topi Palat Ke Aa

Dekhe Jise Akeli; Us Se Kare Athkheli

Raah Me Raas Rachaye; Mota Pet Bajaye

Ganje Sar Ko Chupaye; Chhede Aur Chhup Jaaye

Meri Topi; Meri Topi; Meri Topi; Meri Topi

Aye Meri Dilbar Idhar Nazar Kar Na Ja Bichhad Kar; Na Ja Na Ja

Aye Meri Topi Palat Ke Aa, Aa; Naa Apne Funtoosh Ko Sata

Aye Meri Dilbar Idhar Nazar Kar Na Ja Bichhad Kar; Na Ja Na Ja

Aye Meri Topi Palat Ke
