Dilkasho, dilnasheen, main hoon ik kali
Khushbuyon rangon ki, baahon mein padeh
Mehka sa ang hai, behka sa rang hai
Kyun main hoon manchali, kisko yahan hai pataa
Yeh kaisa roop hai, ho chaaon ya dhoop hai
Hai nazuk si kali tu kaun hai yeh bataa
Tu mehki mehki, tu jawan jawan
Rango bari hogi daastan
Yunhi khili tu, jinse mili tu
Kaise kaise bawre the hume bataa de
Kaise sunaun main yeh dastaan
Koi jaise yeh kehta hai yahaan
Beeta hua kal, beetay hue pal
Dheere dheere dil se tu unhe bhula de
Kal yeh kali na rahe bhi toh gum kya
Raah mein phool aur kaliyan hain kum kya
Jaaon jahan, dekho jahan
Chehron ki kaliyan hi kaliyan hai khilti wahan dekhna
Ho mehka sa ang hai, behka sa rang hai
Kyun ri aye manchali, tu kaun hai yeh bataa
Yeh kaisa roop hai, ho chaaon ya dhoop hai
Hai nazuk si kali tu kaun hai yeh bataa
Tu mehki mehki, tu jawan jawan
Rango bari hogi daastan
Yunhi khili tu, jinse mili tu
Kaise kaise bawre the hume bataa de
Kaise sunaun main yeh dastaan
Koi jaise yeh kehta hai yahaan
Beeta hua kal, beetay hue pal
Dheere dheere dil se tu unhe bhula de
