Raat Ki Mahafil Suni Suni
Lata Mangeshkar · Other Songs - Lata Mangeshkar
aankhein puranam dil naakaam
sahame sahame aramaanon ka
hona hi tha ye anjaam
bhul gaye the apani hasti
tujhako vafa ke josh mein ham
sab kuchh khokar bebas hokar
ab aaye hain hosh mein ham
kaise rah gaye dil ke armaan
tuta saaqi tuta jaam
hona hi tha ye anjaam
sar ko jahaan takaraaye jaake
aisi koyi divaar nahin
haaye ri qismat ham duniya mein
pyaar ke bhi haqadaar nahin
dil hota jo apane bas mein
lete na ham pyaar ka naam
hona hi tha ye anjaam
raat ki mahafill suni suni
Raat Ki Mahafil Suni Suni
