Lyrics
Jay jana chad jan suti nu tay ik pal ve na lami pendi
Neendar naal main pyar na krdi meri jan ay dukh na sendi
O Janday Nu main jan na dendi jado turda Lar phar lendi
Piya rey, piya rey, piya rey, piya rey
Piya rey, piya rey, piya rey, piya rey
Tharey bina lagey nahee mara jiya rey hoooo
Tharey bina lagey nahee mara jiya rey
Naina ney tharee kaisa jadoo kiya rey
Naina ney tharee kaisa jadoo kiya rey
Tharey bina lagey nahee mara jiya rey hooo
Tharey bina lagey nahee mara jiya rey hooo
Tharey bina lagey nahee mara jiya rey
…
Tharey bina mohey chaien na awey
Dhuk, dhuk, dhuk, mara jee ghabrawey
Tharey bina mohey chaien na awey
Dhuk, dhuk, dhuk, mara jee ghabrawey
Boley basureya sunley sawariya
Boley basuriya sunley sawariya
Tharey bina mohey kuch nahee bhawey
Piya rey, piya rey, piya rey, piya rey
Tharey bina lagey nahee mara jiya rey hooo
Tharey bina lagey nahee mara jiya rey
Naina ney tharee kaisa jadoo kiya rey
Naina ney tharee kaisa jadoo kiya rey
Tharey bina lagey nahee mara jiya rey hoooo
Tharey bina lagey nahee mara jiya rey
