Akadam Bakadam Dekho Yeh Tikadam
Jadu Ki Takat Bolo Kis Mein Dum
Hawa Se Tej Na Bijli Se Kam
Chukar Dekhe Aasman Hum
Darte Ho Kyun Sab Mein Ho Na Idhar
Chote Hath Par Takat Hai Jabar
Darte Ho Kyun Sab Mein Ho Na Idhar
Chote Hath Par Takat Hai Jabar
Raksh Bhi Kya Lenge Takkar
Gir Jayenge Khake Chakker
Akadam Bakadam Dekho Yeh Tikadam
Jadu Ki Takat Bolo Kis Mein Dum
Hawa Se Tej Na Bijli Se Kam
Chukar Dekhe Aasman Hum
Chalo Kare In Taro Ki Shair
Dono Ke Sar Pe Mere Hain Do Pair
Chalo Kare In Taro Ki Shair
Na Rahegi Dushano Ki Khair
Upar Niche Aage Peeche
Hai Koi Lega Mujse Bair
Akadam Bakadam Dekho Yeh Tikadam
Jadu Ki Takat Bolo Kis Mein Dum
Hawa Se Tej Na Bijli Se Kam
Chukar Dekhe Aasman Hum
