Raat Aur Din Diya Jale
Lata Mangeshkar · Other Songs - Lata Mangeshkar
jaane kahaa hai, o saathee, too jo mile jeewan ujiyaaraa hai
pag pag man meraa thhokar khaaye, chaand sooraj bhee raah naa dikhaaye
ayesaa ujaalaa koee man mein samaaye, jis se piyaa kaa darshan mil jaaye
gaharaa ye bhed koee muz ko bataaye, kisane kiyaa hain muzapar anyaay
jis kaa ho dip wo sukh naheen paaye, jyot diye kee duje ghar ko sajaaye
khud naheen jaanoo dhoondhe kis ko najar,
kaun dishaa hain mere man kee dagar
kitanaa ajab ye dil kaa safar, nadiyaan mein aaye jaaye jaise lahar
