Lyrics:

aa ab laut chale

aa ab laut chale

nain bichaye baahe pasare

tujhko pukare desh tera

aa ab laut chale

aa ab laut chale

nain bichaye baahe pasare

tujhko pukare desh tera

aa ja re aa aa aa

sahaj hai sidhi raah pe sahaj chalna

dekh ke uljhan bach ke nikalna

koi ye chahe maane na maane

bahut hai mushkil gir ke sambhlana

aa ab laut chale

aa ab laut chale

aankh hamari manzil par hai

dil me khushi ki mast lahar hai

lakh lubhaye mahal paraye

apna ghar phir apna ghar hai

aa ab laut chale

aa ab laut chale
