Asaqon Mein Doob Doob Ke
Lata Mangeshkar · Other Songs - Lata Mangeshkar
ik jhalak deke chhupa chaand andhera chhaaya
ashaqon mein doob doob ke aai hansi to kya
mar mar ke do ghadi ko mili zindagi to kya
ashaqon
bulabul ne jab kafas mein thikaana bana liya
angadaai leke shaak se poochhi kali to kya
angadaai leke shaak se poochhi kali to kya
mar mar ke
ro ro ke bujh gaye meri aankhon ke jab chiraag
ro ro ke bujh gaye meri aankhon ke jab chiraag
phir zindagi mein shamm-e-muhabbat jali to kya
mar mar ke
jab zindagi mein koi tamannaa hi na rahi
tab jaake dil ko ishq ki manzil mili to kya
mar mar ke
ashaqon men doob doob ke
Asaqon Mein Doob Doob Ke
