bol ri kathaputali dori kaun sang baandhi
sach batala tu naache kis ke lie
baavali kathaputali dori piya sang baandhi
main naachun apane piyaa ke lie
bol ri kathaputali......
nae naam nit nae roop dhar main aai, main chali gai
lekin maine dhoom macha di jis nagari, jis gali gai
chhod ke jag, taaron men jaa pahunchi, vahaan bhi yahi pukaar
bol ri kathaputali......
mithi yaaden sundar sapane kho baithe ye log jinhen
man ka yah meet bana kar mere dil ne diya tumhen
kathaputali ka khel ye duniya saanvariya us paar
bol ri kathaputali......
jahaan jidhar saajan le jaae, sang chalun main chhaaya si
vo hain mere jaadugar main jaadugar ki maaya si
jaan-bujh kar chhed ke mujh se poochhe ye sansaar
bol ri kathaputali......
piya na hote, main na hoti, jivan raag sunaata kaun
pyaar thirakta kis ki dhun par, dil ka saaz bajaata kaun
door-door jis chaman se guzare, gaati jaae bahaar
bol ri kathaputali......
