Lyrics
o raaja re
o raaja re
o raaja
mujhe apni bana le re
bana le re ae
o raaja re
o raaja re
o raaja
mujhe apni bana le re
bana le re ae
o raaja re
tere mahal ke aage khadi hoon
kutiya ki eent hoon
gali mein padi hoon
mujhko gali se uthha ke more raaja
raaja re ae
more raaja
mujhko gali se uthha ke more raaja
apne mahal mein basa le
basa le re
o raaja re
o raaja re
o raaja
mujhe apni bana le re
bana le re ae
o raaja re
dekho ji dekho
bahaar aa gayi hai
dekho ji dekho
bahaar aa gayi hai
dekho ji dekho
zulfon se(?) kaali ghata
chhaa gayi hai
dekho chhaa gayi hai
o raaja
zulfon ki chhaaon mein aakar
raaja re ae
mere raaja
o raaja
zulfon ki chhaaaon mein aakar
dil ki tu aag bujha le
bujha le re
o raaja re
o raaja re
o raaja
mujhe apni bana le re
bana le re ae
o raaja re
