Lyrics –

Phaagun beeto jaaye
(The season of Phaag will get over, friend)

Phaagun beeto jaaye
(The season of Phaag will get over)

Phaagun beeto jaaye tanak gori
(The season of Phaag will get over, lady)

Rasiya te batarai lijo
(Go and tell this to Krishna)

Phaagun beeto jaaye
(The season of Phaag will get over)

Ye joban hai dina char ko
(This youth is a matter of two – four days)

Do nainan te nain larai lijo
(Come and play with your eyes)

Phaagun beeto jaaye tanak gori
(The season of Phaag will get over, lady)

Rasiya te batarai lijo
(Go and tell this to Krishna)

Phaagun beeto jaaye
(The season of Phaag will get over)

Saas nanad ko dar mat kariyo
(Don’t try to scare your mother in law and sister in law)

Ghunghat mein te batarai lijo
(Say everything behind your veil)

Phaagun beeto jaaye tanak gori
(The season of Phaag will get over, lady)

Rasiya te batarai lijo
(Go and tell this to Krishna)

Phaagun beeto jaaye
(The season of Phaag will get over)

Rasiya ras ko bharo hi dole
(He is dancing with joy everywhere)

Nak chhatiyan te chhatiya lagaye lijo

Phaagun beeto jaaye tanak gori
(The season of Phaag will get over, lady)

Rasiya te batarai lijo
(Go and tell this to Krishna)

Phaagun beeto jaaye
(The season of Phaag will get over)
