Paani re paani tera rang kaisa
Jisamein mila do lage us jaisa
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
Is duniya mein ...
Tere ek hi ghoont se milata jannat ka aaraam
Paani re
Bhookhe ki bhookh aur pyaas jaisa
Paani re paani
Paani paani re paani o o
O o o ho ho ho

Ganga se jab mile to banata gangaajal tu paavan
Baadal se tu mile to rimajhim-rimajhim barase saavan
Saavan aaya saavan aaya
Saavan aaya saavan aaya rimajhim barase paani
Aag si odhakar aag pahanakar pighali jaaye javaani
Kaheen pe dekho chhat tapakati jeena hua haraam
Paani re paani
Duniya banaane vaale rab jaisa
Paani re paani
Paani paani re paani

Vaise to har rang mein tera jalava rang jamaaye
Jab tu phire ummeedon par tera rang samajh na aaye
Kali khile to jhat a jaaye patajhad ka paigaam
Paani re paani
Sau saal jeene ki ummeedon jaisa
Paani
Paani re paani
Paani re paani
Paani paani re paani
