Mu : paani re paani tera rang kaisa
La : jisamein mila do lage us jaisa
Mu : paani re paani o paani paani re paani o
Is duniya mein jeene vaale aise bhi hain jeete
Rookhee-suukhi khaate hain aur thanda paani peete
La : is duniya mein ...
Ko : tere ek hi ghoont se milata jannat ka aaraam
La : paani re
Mu : bhookhe ki bhookh aur pyaas jaisa
Ko : paani re paani ...
La : o paani paani re paani o o
Ko : o o o ho ho ho
Mu : ganga se jab mile to banata gangaajal tu paavan
Baadal se tu mile to rimajhim-rimajhim barase saavan
Ko : saavan aaya saavan aaya
La : saavan aaya saavan aaya rimajhim barase paani
( aag si odhakar aag pahanakar ) -2 pighali jaaye javaani
Mu : kaheen pe dekho chhat tapakati jeena hua haraam
Ko : paani re paani ...
La : duniya banaane vaale rab jaisa
Ko : paani re paani ...
La : o paani paani re paani o o
Mu : vaise to har rang mein tera jalava rang jamaaye
Jab tu phire ummeedon par tera rang samajh na aaye
La : kali khile to jhat a jaaye patajhad ka paigaam
Ko : paani re paani ...
Mu : sau saal jeene ki ummeedon jaisa
Ko : o paani o
Paani re paani ...
Mu : paani re paani
La : o paani paani re paani o
