Aya watno paigaam sandesa mere naam
Vichhde yaar puchhde mera haal,
Aya watno paigam sandesa mere naam
Dildar puchhde mera haal -.
Aaya vatno paigham sandesa mere naam
Appan vichde yaar hun ho gaye jawaan
Odaan likhe maine geet bathere
Par ki lilkhan chitthi de jawab ch main tere,
Mainu samajh ni aye
Jaaye koi jaake hun labb ke le'aye.
Das saal jede maine pardes ch bitaye
Bhang de nashe ch yaar tera sharabi hoke gaddiyan chalaaye
Tainu samajh ni aaye
Aithe paise de nashe ch apne paraye,
Kine dil dukhaye
Kine roop main badle
Kine gul khilaaye
Kine sitam main saye kine zehar khaaye.
Shad de yaad ch meri athru tu bahauna
Chithi teri takkan
Jiwe teri tasveeran.
Utton yaad aan gallan teri mithi
Haje khol ke parhi ni chithi.
Chithi aayi sajna de naa' di
Te utton sajna di yaad sataandi -,
Hai kite maine vaade, iraade,
Wafa mohabbtan de
Pardes hun aake tenu akhaan bhula de,
Pardesiyan naal dil nai lagana
Pardesiyan ne ik din jaana.
Aya watno paigaam
Sandesa mere naam
Vichre yaar puchde mera haal,
Aaya watno paigaam
Sandesa mere naam
Dildar puchde mera haal.
Chithi teri khol ke parhaan
Ya khole bina saarh laan
Main bandh laan samaan
Vaapas aaja jang haar laan.
Ho tere sawalan da kiwe dawa jawab
Haan main aithe aake badal geya ho gaya kharab,
Roz peena main sharab
Roz bhang be-hisaab
Roz kudiyan da saath
Karan baat saari raat.
Naale hor kite paap main bathere
Kine dil tote main tenu bheja jawaab ch tere
Ethe desiyan di zindagi ajeeb
Apan yaaran ton door
Vairiyan de qareeb
Rehna painda hoshiiyar
Aithe har koi gallan-gallan te goliyan chalaan nu taiyar.
Yaad aaye jadon des
Peewan bhang main tez
Main bolan ghat punjabi
Baneya phiran angrez
Main kive kara araam
Main chithi kive likhan
Tere naam,
main chithi kive likha terenaam... Chithi aayi sajna de naa' di
Te utton sajna di yaad sataandi -,
Hai kite maine vaade, iraade,
Wafa mohabbtan de
Pardes hun aake tenu akhaan bhula de,
Pardesiya nal dil nai lagaana
Pardesiya ne ik din jana.
Aya vatno paigaam
Sandesa mere naam
Vichre yaar puchde mera haal,
Aaya vatno paigaam
Sandhesa mere naam
Dildar puchde mera haal.
Daso mera haal!
