ek dafa ek jangal tha
ek dafa ek jangal tha, us jangal me ek gidad tha
bada lofar bada lichad aawara
jangal paar ek basti thi us basti me vah jaata tha rozana
ek dafa ek jangal tha, us jangal me ek gidad tha
bada lofar bada lichad aawara
ek dafa us basti ke kutto ne usko dekh liya
is mod se usko daudaaya, us mod pe ja ke gher liya
jab kuchh na sujha gidad ko divaar se upar kuda
us paar kisi ka aangan tha, aangan me nil ki haandi thi
vah nili thi, us nil me yun gira gidad
sab ho gaya kichad hi kichad kichad
jitne the jangal me vah sab gidad ka paani bharne lage
sab samajhe koyi avtaar hai vo, sab uski seva karne lage
saavan ke mahine me ik din kuchh gidad mil ke gaane lage
nile gidad ko josh aaya, biradari par itrane laga
aur jhum ke jab aalaap kiya
pehchaane gaye aur pakde gaye
har ek ne khub pitaayi ki aur sabne khub dhulaayi ki
de danaadan le danaadan, de danaadan le danaadan
