Maye Ni Maye
Lata Mangeshkar · Other Songs - Lata Mangeshkar
Jogan ho gayi teri dulari, man jogi sang laaga
Maye ni maye mundher pe teri, bol raha hain kaaga
Jogan ho gayi teri dulari, man jogi sang laaga
Chan mahiya chan mahiya mere dol sapaiya
Chand ki tarah camak rahi thi us jogi ki kaya,
Mere dyare aakar usne pyar ka alag jagaaya,
Apne tan par bhasma ramaage
Sari rain woh jaaga
Jogan ho gayi teri dulari, man jogi sang laaga
Sun hiriye nach hiriye, Nagke rang jama,
Sun hiriye nach hiriye, Nagke dhum macha
Mannat maangi thi tune, ek roz main jaayo bihaayi,
Us jogi ke sang meri tu karde ab kudmayi,
In haathon mein laga de mehendi,
Baandh shagun ka dhagaa,
Jogan ho gayi teri dulari, man jogi sang laaga
