Aisi rang de ke rang nahi chhute
dhobiya dhoye chahe yeh sari umaria
Lal na rangaun mein hari na rangaun
apane hi ranga men rangade chunariya.
Bina rangaye mein to ghar nahi jaungi
beet hi jaye chahe yeh sari umariya.
Jal se patala kaun hai
kaun bhumi se bhari
kaun agan se tej hai
kaun kajal se kala.
Jal se patala janam hai
aur paap bhumi se bhari
krodh agan se teja hai
aur kalank kajal se kala.
Mira ke prabhu giridhar nagar
prabhu charanan mein
hari charanan mein
shyam charanan mei n lagi najaria.Tips for Safe Holy
