O Bhole Baalama
Lata Mangeshkar · Other Songs - Lata Mangeshkar
aa a a aa a a
ghunghar baaje chhun chhun, dungar baaje dum dum
kahati hai bahaar mere phoolon ko dekh,
baaghon men daaliyon pe jhoolon ko dekh,
ude ude baadalon ko gale lagaa ke
jhoome ye aasamaan, ghoome ye aasamaan,
aa a a aa a a
ghunghar baaje chhun chhun
ambuwaa ki daal pe koyal ka shor,
sapanon ki chhaaon me naache manmor
bholi bhaali teri chhabi nainon men la ke,
dole ye dil jawaan, bole ye dil jawaan,
aa a a aa a a
ghunghar baaje chhun chhun
aise men akhiyaan bhi bolane lagi,
hans-hans ke raaz dil ke kholane lagi
aate jaate chhedati hai chanchal hawa,
bairi tere binaa, soonaa hai ye samaan,
aa a a aa a a
ghunghar baaje chhun chhun
