Eik ajnabi haseena se youn mulakat ho gayee
Phir kya hua ye na poochho, kuch aisi bat ho gayee

Voh achanak a gayee, youn nazar ke samnay
Jaisay nikal aya ghatta say chaand
Chehray pe zulfein bikhri houeen theen [x2]
Din mein raat ho gayee, ho gayee

Eik ajnabi haseena se youn mulakat ho gayee
Phir kya hua ye na poochho, kuch aisi bat ho gayee

Kehta ghazal teri adaon par
Mein ne ye kaha toh mujh se khafa vo [x2]
Jaan-e-hayat ho gayee, ho gayee

Eik ajnabi haseena se youn mulakat ho gayee
Phir kya hua ye na poochho, kuch aisi bat ho gayee

Khoobsoorat bat ye char pal ka sath ye
Saree umar mujh ko rahay ga yaad
Mein akela tha magar ban gayee vo hum safar [x2]
Voh meray saath ho gayee, ho gayee

Eik ajnabi haseena se youn mulakat ho gayee
Phir kya hua ye na poochho, kuch aisi bat ho gayee

Jo tunay mujhay tham na liyaa
Ho sau rabb di, sau rabb di, sau rabb di

Ghar valay ab hum ko khud leynay aein gay
Kuch bhi ho leykin maza agaya mere jaan
Ho sau rabb di, sau rabb di, sau rabb di

Jeevay Banara

[Audio reference: Musarrat Nazir PTV version]

(If you’re from the bride’s side, replace all instances of “jeevay banara” with “jeevay banaree”.)

Jeevay banara umran sariyan
Jeevay banara umran sariyan

Teyree mehndi ton mein variyan
Mein teyree mehndi ton mein vaariyaan, vey mehndi valay
Ton balharian jeevay banara
Umran sariyan jeevay banara

Ton balharian jeevay banara
Umran sariyan jeevay banara

(If you’re from the bride’s side, replace “sehray” in the verse above with “khungat”.)

(The rest of the song follows the same pattern except that the highlighted word above gets replaced by an object that is particularly relevant to the person getting married.)

Jutti Meri Jandi e Paharhiye de Naal

[Audio reference: Sunanda Sharma YouTube version]

Jutti meri jandi e pahariye de naal
Te paula mera janda e maaye de naal.

Jutti meri hoy hoy
Jutti meri hoy hoy

Pehli pehli var maenu sass lein agaee
Sass lein agaee te tikka poa gaee.

Hua tha…han meri aakhon ke sang
Yeh tere kajal ka rang
Hua tha…han meri aakhon ke sang
Gori tum woh din yad karo
Gori tum woh din yad karo

Mein kuch kehna saka
Shanon se jub anchal gira
Gori tum woh din yad karo
Gori tum woh din yad karo

Kya…tumhey yad nahin
Tum bhi tho milay they waheen
Gori tum woh din yad karo
Gori tum woh din yad karo
