Dil Pukaare Aa Re
Lata Mangeshkar · Other Songs - Lata Mangeshkar
abhee naa jaa mere saathee
baraso beete dil pe kaaboo paate
hum to haare, tum hee kuchh samazaate
samazaatee main tum laakho aramaan
kho jaate hai, lab tak aate aate
poochho naa kitanee, baate padee hai, dil mein humaare
paa ke tum ko hain kaisee matawaalee
aakhe meree been kaajal ke kaalee
jeewan apanaa main bhee rangee kar loo
mil jaaye jo in hothhon kee laalee
jo bhee hain apanaa, laayee hoo sab kuchh, paas tumhaare
mahakaa mahakaa aanchal halake halake
rah jaatee ho kyo palakon se mal ke
jaise sooraj banakar aaye ho tum
chal doge fir din ke dhalate dhalate
aaj kaho to mod doo badh ke, wakt ke dhaare
