Dekhiye Aji Jaaneman

hamase yun mat kheliye kyun bhalaa jaan-e-jaan
tut ke rah jaayegi pyaar mein meri jaan dekhiye aji jaan-e-man
tut ke rah jaaenge ham bhi to meri jaan
aa maanati hun main thi meri khataa jo tumhen naa samajhi
jo huyaa sanam so huyaa sanam bhul jaayo na ji
ab to sivaa tumhaare nahin kuchh bhi yaad jaanam
aa ek dusare mein kho jaaye aaj hamadam
yun milen do badan phir na kholen zubaan dekhiye aji jaan-e-man
aaj baahon ke is bhanvar mein ham aise dub jaaye
apane aap ko dhundhate rahen aur na dhundh paayen
meri tarah se tum bhi sab kuchh lutaa do jaanam
ab jo hai paas mere sab hai tumhaaraa hamadam
are yun lagaa aaj dharati pe gir padaa aasamaan
dekhiye aji jaan-e-man
Dekhiye Aji Jaaneman
