bura hai na gana bura
bura hai na gana bura
itna to jaan kya chiz ye kala hai
itna to maan karte ki jid diya hai
bura hai na gana bura na bajana
ye fan purana
bura hai na gana bura

mathura nagari ki kunj galin me
dekhi humne dhoom re
hoye dekhi humne dhoom re
arey murli ki vo taan rasili
manva jaye re jhoom re
manva jaye re jhoom re
dil ko har ek nach jhanjhore
kathak ke yu baje tode
bura hai na gana bura

o dur dakkhan me jakar dekhi
duniya sur aur taal ki
duniya sur aur taal ki
chan channa chan baje manjire
gunje thape naal ki
gunje thape naal ki
dil pe jara bhi rahe na kabu
bharatnatyam dekh ke babu
bura hai na gana bura
bura hai na gana bura

sair sapate karte yaaro
aaye jab punjab me
haye aaye jab punjab me
nach vo dekha rang rangila
jo na dekha khawab me
jo na dekha khawab me
budha baccha lula langda
jisko dekho nache bhangda
o munde mard kamaiya karde
o munde mard kamaiya karde
ke lachi tere bane na bane
bura hai na gana bura
