Baabuji Main Chin Se Aai Chini Jaisa Dil Laai
Singaapur Ka Joban Mera Shaanghaai Ki Angadaai
Baabuji Main Chin Se Aai Chini Jaisa Dil Laai

O Baabuji Main Aur Aap Kitna Achchha Hua Milaap
Tujh Ko Dekh Tabiyat Bhadaki Alaadin Ki Main Hoon Ladaki
O Baabuji Main Aur Aap Kitna Achchha Hua Milaap
Tujh Ko Dekh Tabiyat Bhadaki Alaadin Ki Main Hun Ladaki
Phook Dun Mantar Chhu Chu Chu; Sindabaad “The Sailor” Tu
Phook Dun Mantar Chhu Chu Chu; Sindabaad “The Sailor” Tu
