Rahe Naa Rahe Hum
Lata Mangeshkar · Other Songs - Lata Mangeshkar
ban ke kalee, ban ke sabaa, baaga-ye-wafaan mein
mausam koee ho is chaman mein rang ban ke rahenge hum khiraamaa
chaahat kee khushaboo yoo hee julfon se udegee, khijaa ho yaa bahaaren
yoo hee zoomate aaur khilate rahenge, ban ke kalee..
khoye hum ayese, kyaa hain milanaa,
kyaa bichhadanaa naheen hain yaad hum ko
koonche mein dil ke jab se aaye sirf dil kee jameen hain yaad hum ko
isee sarajameen pe hum to rahenge, ban ke kalee..
jab hum naa honge, jab humaaree khaank pe tum rukoge chalate chalate
ashkon se bheegee chaandanee mein yek sadaa see suno ge chalate chalate
wahee pe kahee hum tum se milenge, ban ke kalee..
