Ghananana ghanghanat goree ke kangana aaj
Chhananana chhanchhanat payal sang baje
Sar par chunar odhe niklegee aaj radhe, lehra lehrake gopiyo sang
Kanha bhee pichhe pichhe, tang koyee kheenche kheenche
Murlee se barsaye nasur tarang
Dharatee aur woh gagan jhumenge sang sang, sabpe chadhega aaj prem rang
Rangin gulal hoga, socho kya hal hoga
Nachenge prem rogee dum duma dum dum
Dham dham datilal datilal dhidkit dhidkit dhilal
