Aaj Dil Pe Koi Jor Chalta Nahin
Lata Mangeshkar · Other Songs - Lata Mangeshkar
muskuraane lage the, magar ro pade
roj hee kee tarah aaj bhee dard ko
hum chhupaane lage the, magar ro pade
aaur ab kyaa kahe, kyaa huaa hain humein
tum to ho bekhabar, hum bhee anjaan hain
bas yahee jaan lo, to bahot ho gayaa
hum bhee rakhate hain dil hum bhee insaan hain
muskuraate huye hum bahaanaa koee fir banaane lage the, magar ro pade
hai sitaare kahaa, itane aakaash par
har kisee ko agar yek sitaaraa mile
kashtiyon ke liye ye bhanwar bhee to hai
kyaa jaruree hain, sab ko kinaaraa mile
bas yahee soch ke, hum bade chain se
doob jaane lage the, magar ro pade
umarbhar kaash hum yoon hee rote rahe
aaj kyon ke, humei ye huyee hain khabar
muskuraahat kee to koee kimat naheen
aansooon se huyee hain humaaree kadar
baadalon kee tarah hum to barase binaa
laut jaane lage the, magar ro pade
