Shehnaiyo ki sada
Keh rahi hai
Khushi ki mubarak
Ghadi aa gayi hai
Saji surkh jode mein
Chand si dulhan
Zameen pe falak se
Pari aa gayi hai
Dulhe ka sehra suhana lagta hai
Dulhe ka sehra suhana lagta hai
Dulhan ka toh
Dil deewana lagta hai
Dulhe ka sehra suhana lagta hai
Dulhan ka toh
Dil deewana lagta hai
Pal bhar me kaise badalte hai rishte
Pal bhar me kaise badalte hai rishte
Ab to har apna begana lagta hai
Dulhe ka sehra suhana lagta hai
Dulhan ka toh
Dil deewana lagta hai
Sath pheron se bandha
Janmo ka ye bandhan
Pyar se joda hai rabb ne
Preet ka daman (x2)
Hai nayi rasme, nayi qasame
Nayi uljhan
Hont hai khamosh
Lekin keh rahi dhakan
Dhadkan, dhadkan
Dhadkan, dhadkan
Dhadkan meri dhadkan
Dhadkan teri dhadkan
Dhadkan dhadkan,
Dhadkan dhadkan,
Dhadkan dhadkan,dhadkan dhadkan
Meri dhadkan, meri dhadkan
Mushkil ashqon ko chupana lagta hai
Mushkil ashqon ko chupana lagta hai
Dhulhan ka to dil diwana lagta hai
Pal bhar me kaise badalte hain rishte
Pal bhar me kaise badalte hain rishte
Ab to har apna begana lagta hai
Dulhe ka sehra suhana lagta hai
Dulhan ka toh
Dil deewana lagta hai (x2)
Mai teri bahon ke
Jhoole me pali babul
Ja rahi hoon chod ke
Teri gali babul
Main teri, bahon ke jhule, me pali babul
Main teri bahon ke jhule me pali babul
Main teri bahon ke jhule me pali babul
Jaa rahi hoon chod ke teri gali babul
Khoobsurat ye zamane yaad aayegi
Chah ke bhi hum tumhein
Na bhool payengi, mushkil
Mushkil daman ko chudana lagta hai
Dulhan ka to dil deewana lagta ha (x2)
Pal bhar me kaise badalte hain rishte
Ab to har apna begana lagta hai
Dulhe ka sehra suhana lagta hai
Dulhan ka to dil deewana lagta hai (x6)
Dulhan ka to dil deewana lagta hai
Dhadkan, dhadkan..dhadkan, dhadkan
