Tere Sadke Balam

Lata Mangeshkar · Lata Sings For Naushad-Mere Jeeva Vol-35 [2011]

tere sadke balam na kar koi gam

ye sama ye jahaan phir kahaan

ho, tere sadke balam na kar koi gam



din hain suhaane, phir kaun jaane aaye na aaye bahaar

tu gam ko peele, dam bhar ko jeele, duniya ka kya aaitbaar

ho jee, piyaa, duniya ka kya aitbaar

tere sadake balam...



kaanton mein daaman uljhe na saajan phoolon mein hanske guzaar

thodi hansi hai, thodi khushi hai, dukh zindagi mein hazaar

ho jee, piyaa, dukh zindagi mein hazaar

tere sadke balam...



naiya milan ki maujen pavan ki, kehti hain mujhko pukaar

gaata chala chal, hansta chala chal, jeevan ki nadiya ke paar

ho jee, piyaa, jeevan ki nadiya ke paar

tere sadke balam na kar koi gam

ye sama ye jahaan phir kahaan

Tere Sadke Balam
