Mere Dil Ki Ghadi
Lata Mangeshkar · Other Songs - Lata Mangeshkar
o baje raat ke baarah, haay teri yaad ne maara
khaamosh zamaana soye
ik mera hi dil roye (x2)
aur dil par teer chalaaye (x2)
ek jhilamil karata taaraa, haay teri yaad ne maara ...
na bane baat kuch kah ke
aur jale jiya chup rah ke (x2)
bas chupake chupake tadape (x2)
majaboor koi bechaaraa, haay teri yaad ne maara ...
akhiyon se nindiya bhaagi
palakon mein rimajhim laagi (x2)
ab aan milo o sajana (x2)
dil tadap tadap kar haaraa, haay teri yaad ne maara ...
