Dil Apanaa Aaur Pareet Paraayee
Lata Mangeshkar · Other Songs - Lata Mangeshkar
kis ne hain ye, reet banaaee
aandhee mein yek deep jalaayaa
aaur paanee mein, aag lagaaee
hai dard ayesaa ke sahanaa hain mushkil
duniyaawaalon se kahanaa hain mushkil
gheer ke aayaa hain tufaan ayesaa
bach ke saahil pe rahanaa hain mushkil
dil ko sanbhaalaa naa daaman bachaayaa
failee jab aag tab hosh aayaa
gam ke maare pukaare kise hum
hum se bichhadaa humaaraa hee saayaa
