Song Lyrics

Phul ko aakha ma, phulai sansaara

Kaada ko aakha ma, kaadai sansara ( 2 times )

Jhulkincha hai chaya, bastu ansaara

Kaada ko aakha ma, Kaadai sansara

Phul ko aakha ma, phulai sansara

Kaada ko aakha ma, kaadai sansara

.

Chitta suddha hos mero, boli Buddha hos

Mero paitala le, kirai namaaros (2 times )

Ramro aakha ma khulcha, ramrai sansara

Kaada ko aakha ma, kaadai sansara

Phul ko aakha ma, phulai sansara

Kaada ko aakha ma, kaadai sansara

.

Taha taha jun dekhu, kalo raatai ma

Jiwan sangit sunu ma, sukha patai ma

Sanglo man ma khulcha hai, sanglai sansara

Kaada ko aakha ma, kaadai sansara

.

Phul ko aakha ma, phulai sansara

Kaada ko aakha ma, kaadai sansara (2times)

Jhulkincha hai chaya, bastu ansaara

Kaada ko aakha ma, kaadai sansara

Phul ko aakha ma, phulai sansara

Kaada ko aakha ma, kaadai sansara

Kaada ko aakha ma, kaadai sansara

Kaada ko aakha ma, kaadai sansara
