Ho Raja Babu
Lata Mangeshkar · Other Songs - Lata Mangeshkar
mere paas jo aaye rakhe apani jaan hatheli pe
ho raja babu - 2 dil ko sambhal rakhana
mere sang chhuri hain - 2 khayal rakhana
(ho raja babu dil ko sambhal rakhana
mere sang chhuri hain khayal rakhana) - 2
jaa tere haathon mein mera aanchal nahi aayeha
mere pichhe pichhe bhagega toh dhokha khayega
chalti hawa ko pakadana hai mushkil
yaad hamesha - 2 yeh misaal rakhana
mere sang chhuri hain khayal rakhana
ho raja babu dil ko sambhal rakhana
mere sang chhuri hain khayal rakhana
aag se jo khela karte hain woh deewane hote hain
mujhko chhedke hasne wale dil ko thaam ke rote hain
poonchega tu kaise apane aansu
jeb mein hamesha - 2 rumaal rakhana
mere sang chhuri hain khayal rakhana
ho raja babu dil ko sambhal rakhana
mere sang chhuri hain khayal rakhana
tune kya socha hain tujhase darr ke main jhuk jaaungi
main bijali hu kya main tere roke se rukk jaaungi
main tere bass mein na aaungi rasiya
dil ke yeh armaan - 2 nikaal rakhana
mere sang chhuri hain khayal rakhana
ho raja babu dil ko sambhal rakhana
mere sang chhuri -2 hain khayal rakhana
ho raja babu
