Aap Kahein Aur
Lata Mangeshkar · Other Songs - Lata Mangeshkar
manzil pe pahuNcheinge kaise, aapkaa jab tak saath nahin
aap kahein aur ham na aayein, aise to haalaat nahin
chaahane vaaloN ke aaj duniyaa mein chaahane vaale aa gaye
ulfat ki may aaNkhoN se lo aaj pee lene vaale aa gaye
aap piyen aur aap na jhoomein
manzil pe pahuNcheinge kaise aapkaa jab tak saath nahin
kasaa huaa hai teer husn kaa, zaraa sambhalke rahiyegaa
nazar nazar ko maaregi, to qaatil hamein na kahiyegaa
chaal chali hai sochke hamne is khel mein apni maat nahin
paas aake ye aapke hamein hone lagaa ehsaas hai
dam hai to bas aapke dam se aap hi se saaNs hai
bayaan karein jo haal-e-dil ko aise koi jazbaat nahin
aap kahein aur ham na aayein, aise to haalaat nahin
manzil pe pahuNcheinge kaise, aapkaa jab tak saath nahin
aap kahein aur ham na aayein, aise to haalaat nahin
