Jhil-Mil Sitaaron Ke Tale
Lata Mangeshkar · Other Songs - Lata Mangeshkar
rangin bahaaron ke tale aa mera daaman thaam le
main tere dill ki baat huun
thahari hui barasaat huun
kadamon pe jisake chaandani
main vo suhaani raat huun
ye husn ka paigaam le aa mera daaman thaam le
pyaasi nigaahon ki qasam
khaamosh aahon ki qasam
main huun saraapa intazaar
in kvaabgaahon ki qasam
dil ki nazar se kaam le, aa mera daaman thaam le
