Kacchi doriyon, doriyon, doriyon se
Mainu tu baandh le
Pakki yaariyon, yaariyon, yaariyon mein
Honde na faasley
Eh naraazgi kaagzi saari teri
Mere sohneya sunn le meri

Avneil were in the middle along with Manan.

Neil kept his one hand around Avni waist while other one her shoulder. Avni kept her arms around. Avni was only looking at him only but Neil wasn't even looking at her. She knew he is angry with her.

Dil diyan gallan
Karaange naal naal beh ke
Akh naale akh nu milaa ke
Dil diyan gallan haaye
Karaange roz roz beh ke
Sacchiyan mohabbataan nibha ke

Manik kept his arms around Nandini waist and looked at her if she uncomfortable but not seeing he smiled. Nandini kept her head down.
While dancing Manik asked which shocked her.

Manik : Nandini I don't why you were crying but sharing with someone only give you relief. I give the much time you want but please tell what's bothering you.

Nandini looks at him but quickly looked down. Manik signed and continued dancing with her.

Tenu lakhan ton chhupa ke rakhaan
Akkhaan te sajaa ke tu ae meri wafaa
Rakh apna bana ke
Main tere layi aan
Tere layi aan yaaran
Naa paavin kade dooriyan

Avni looks at Neil and saw him being lost. Both were dancing but not full heart. Avni was sad seeing him like this while Neil was thinking why Avni is still angry with him.

Main jeena haan tera...
Main jeena haan tera
Tu jeena hai mera
Dass lena ki nakhra dikha ke

Both couple were dancing and being lost in each other while their family blessed them and prayed for their happiness.

Dil diyan gallan
Karaange naal naal beh ke
Akh naale akh nu mila ke
Dil diyan gallan.

As the song finished but both couple were still lost in Each other. Kushi coughed and brought them back to reality. Nandini and Avni immediately looked around then separated from Their Partner. Neil and Manik didn't even bother about this but looked at kushi and went to her. Both brother side hugged her.

Kushi nods no. Others laughs at them.
