Jeena Humko Raas Na Aaya
Lata Mangeshkar · Other Songs - Lata Mangeshkar
kyaa saawan kyaa bhaado, apane sab din rote beete hai
hum se to jag ruthh gayaa hai, yek tumhaaraa kyaa shikawaa
ab kyo aahe bharate hain hum ab kyo aasoo peete hai
pyaar kee baazee aasaan samaze, hum ne badee naadaanee kee
dil kee duhaayee denewaale, ye baazee kab jeete hai
daur-ye-junoon mein kyaa kyaa suzee, kyaa kyaa hum ne kar daalaa
khud hee gareebaan faad liyaa hai, khud h gareebaan seete hai
