Sheesha Ho Ya Dil Ho

Lata Mangeshkar · Sadabahar - Lata Mangeshkar Dard Bhare Geet- Vol.2 [2010]

Ho~, aa~, aa

Sheesha ho ya dil ho -2

Aakhir (toot jaata hai) -4

Lab tak aate aate haathon se

Sagar (choot jaata hai) -3

Sheesha ho ya dil ho

Aakhir toot jaata hai



Ho~

Kaafi bas armaan nahin

Kuch milna aasaan nahin

Duniya ki majboori hai

Phir taqdeer zaroori hai

Yeh jo dushman hai aise

Donon raazi ho kaise

Ek ko manao to duja (rooth jaata hai) -3

Sheesha ho ya dil ho

Aakhir toot jaata hai



(Baithe the kinare pe

Maujon ke ishare pe) -2

Ham khelein toofanon se

Is dil ke armaanon se

Hamko yeh maloom na tha

Koi saath nahin deta -2

Maajhi chod jaata hai

Saahil (choot jaata hai) -3

Sheesha ho ya dil ho -2

Aakhir (toot jaata hai) -4

Sheesha ho ya dil ho



Duniya ek tamasha hai

Aasha aur nirasha hai

Thode phool hai kaante hai

Jo taqdeer ne baante hain

Apna apna hissa hai

Apna apna kissa hai

Koi lut jaata hai

Koi (loot jaata hai) -3

Sheesha ho ya dil ho

Aakhir (toot jaata hai) -4

Lab tak aate aate haathon se

Sagar (choot jaata hai) -3

Sheesha ho ya dil ho
