बांके बिहारी तेरे नाल वे मैं ता ला लईया अखिया,
श्याम सुन्दर दे नाल वे मैं ता ला लईया अखिया,
आ श्यामा तैनू तिलक लगावा
चन्दन रोली नाल वे मैं ता ला लईया अखिया
बांके बिहारी....
आ श्यामा तैनू कजरा लगावा
कजरा तेरा कमाल वे मैं ता ला लईया अखिया
बांके बिहारी.....
आ श्यामा तैनू मुकुट पहनावा
लट घुंगराले तेरे बाल वे मैं ता ला लईया अखिया
बांके बिहारी.....
आ श्यामा तैनू माखन खवामा
माखन ते मिश्री नाल वे मैं ता ला लईया अखिया
बांके बिहारी.....
