Lyrics

Sham rang me rang do
Mohe sham rang rang de
(Utare kabhi na gori
Rang aisa tan pe mal du) – (2)
Aaja
(Aaja re mayuri chham chham
Rang bhang ka hai mausam
Aaj nashe me chur dur har gum
Mast hoke masti me jhume hum) – (2)

(Baja re jara dhol jor se
Kya bole jara bol jor se) – (4)
Aa shyam rang me rang du
Utre kabhi na gori
Rang aisa tan pe mal du
Utre kabhi na gori
Rang aisa tan pe mal du aaja
Aaja re mayuri chham chham
Rang bhang ka hai mausam
Aaj nashe me chur dur har gum
Mast hoke masti me jhume hum
(Baja re jara dhol jor se
Kya bole jara bol jor se) – (4)

Rang le rang le
Chhayi gulalo ki ghataye
Puchhe diwano ki sadaye
Dil jhum jhum gaye
(Umange bhari kaliyo se
Jiwan apna mahkaye) – (2)
Aaja aaja re mayuri chham chham
Rang bhang ka hai mausam
Aaj nashe me chur dur har gum
Mast hoke masti me jhume hum
(Baja re jara dhol jor se
Kya bole jara bol jor se) – (4)

(Man me rang ghulne de
Ang ang ye khilne de
Dil dil se milne de gauri) – (2)
Dil ki ye duri kyu
Karle zid puri yu
Rang ke tu dal de choli
Chali sanan sanan – 2
Chali chali re pawan chhanan
Chali tanan tanan kare sanan sanan
Chali re pawan chhan chhan
(Baja re jara dhol jor se
Kya bole jara bol jor se) – (12)
