Sanson Ki Mala Pe Lyrics

Sanson ki mala pe
Saa nson ki mala pe
Saa nson ki mala pe
Sanson ki mala pe
Simrun main pee ka naam
Sanson ki mala pe
Simrun main pee ka naam

Apne man ki main jaanuun,
Aur pee ke man ki raam.
Sanson ki mala pe –
Simrun main pee ka naam.
Yehi meri bandagi hai yehi meri pooja
Sanson ki mala pe,
Simrun main pee ka naam (II)

Ek ka sajan mandir main
Ek ka preetam masjid main
Sanson ki mala pe, Sanson ki mala pe
Simrun main pee ka naam,
Papeehay oh papeehay tu yeh
Kiyoon aanso bahaata hai.
Sanson ki mala pe,
Simrun main pee ka naam

Prem ke rung mein aisee doobi,
bun gaya aik hee roop (II)
Prem ki mala japte japte,
Aap bani mei shyaam
