Lyrics
Uttar dakshin purab pashchim anjani raho me ghumu
Din jhume raten jhume do dil bhi jhume mai bhi jhumu
Tum jo kaho kehte raho yeh hai diwangi
Ulti sidhi daye baye aage pichhe too kyo ghume
Arre din jhume naa jhume rate diwani bas too hee jhume
Yun nachti yun jhumati kyo hai too ghumati
Uttar dakshin purab pashchim anjani raho me ghumu
Din jhume raten jhume do dil bhi jhume mai bhi jhumu
Ha bhai ha..
Pardesi ham aur paraya nagar diwani too chali hai kidhar
Abb meri bat manle da chhod du mai ghar
Yeh roshani me nahaya nagar rukti, nahee hai kahee bhi najar
Inn rasto ko chhodke jayega kaun ghar
Jara thehro, jara thehro, thehro naa
Mujhe chhodo, mujhe chhodo, chhodo naa
Too meri jan aise kahan behki behki chali
Uttar dakshin purab pashchim anjani raho me ghumu
Ha din jhume raten jhume do dil bhi jhume mai bhi jhumu
Ha bhai ha
Kam naa huyi jo teri mastiya badnami hogi teri yaha
Arre kuchh toh samajh se kam le tere hosh hain kaha
Dooniya banati rahe dastan badnami kaa darr mujhe hain kaha
Abb toh yeh dil jaha kahe jaungi mai wahan
Jara thehro, jara thehro, thehro naa
Mujhe chhodo, mujhe chhodo, chhodo naa
Itna samajh aaye nasamajh yeh hai aawargi
Uttar dakshin purab pashchim anjani raho me ghumu
Din jhume raten jhume do dil bhi jhume mai bhi jhumu
Tum jo kaho kehte raho yeh hai diwangi
Ulti sidhi daye baye aage pichhe too kyo ghume
Arre din jhume naa jhume rate diwani bas too hee jhume
Yun nachti yun jhumati kyo hai too ghumati
Uttar dakshin purab pashchim anjani raho me ghumu
Din jhume raten jhume do dil bhi jhume mai bhi jhumu
Ha bhai ha......
