kaahe tarasaae jiyaraa
yauvan R^itu sajan jaake naa aae
kaahe jiyaraa tarasaae
kaahe tarasaae ...

nit nit jaage naa
soyaa shR^i.ngaar,
jhaa.njhar jhan jhanan, nit naa bulaae
kaahe jiyaraa tarasaae
kaahe tarasaae ...

nit nit barase naa
ras kii phuhaar
sapanaa van gagan, nit naa luTaae
kaahe jiyaraa tarasaae
kaahe tarasaae ...

The movie has a longer orchestral prelude and an additional stanza:

nit nit aaye naa
tan pe nikhaar
saavan mana sumana nit naa khilaaye
kaahe jiyaraa tarasaae
kaahe tarasaae ...
