Fir Teree Kahaanee Yaad Aayee
Lata Mangeshkar · Other Songs - Lata Mangeshkar
fir aaj humaaree aankhon ko, yek khwaab puraanaa yaad aayaa
jalate hain chiraagon kee soorat har shaam teree hum yaadon mein
jab subah ko shabanam rotee hai, kho jaaten hain hum fariyaadon mein
jab dil ne koee aawaaj sunee, teraa hee taraanaa yaad aayaa
shaayad kabhee milanaa ho jaaye, baithhe hain isee aramaan mein hum
toone to kinaaraa paa hee liyaa, ulaze hain magar tufaann mein hum
aye jaana-ye-wafaa fir aaj hume, pichhalaa wo jamaanaa yaad aayaa
Fir Teree Kahaanee Yaad Aayee
