آج کیہ پکایے
آج کیہ پکایے
چوہدری: اَج کیہِ پکائیے دس تیرا کیہِ خیال اے
رحماں: میں کیہِ خیال دساں میری کیہِ مجال اے
چوہدری: رحمیاں چل اَج فیر چسکے ای لا لئیے
لبَھ جان چنگیاں تے بھنڈیاں پکا لئیے
رحماں: واہ واتُساں بُجھیاں نیں دلا دیاں چوریاں
میرا وی ایہہ دل سی پکائیے اج توریاں
لُونواں والی بھِنڈی ہووے پوٹا |
