Sawan Ke Jhoole Pade
Lata Mangeshkar · Other Songs - Lata Mangeshkar
tum chale aao, tum chale aao
aanchal naa chhode meraa, paagal huyee hain pawan
ab kyaa karu main jatan dhadake jiyaa jaise panchhee ude
dil ne pukaaraa tumhe, yaadon ke parades se
aatee hain jo desh sen, hum us dagar pe hain kab se khade
jab hum mile the piyaa, tum kitane naadaan the
hum kitane anajaan the, baalee umareeyaan mein nainaa laden
