Rasik Balamaa
Lata Mangeshkar · Other Songs - Lata Mangeshkar
tose dil kyo lagaayaa, jaise rog lagaayaa
jab yaad aaye tihaaree, soorat wo pyaaree pyaaree
nehaa lagaa ke haaree, tadapoo main gam kee maaree
dhoondhe hain paagal nainaa, paaye naa yek pal chainaa
dasatee hain ujalee rainaa, kaa se kahoo main bah naa
