Ye Mulaqat Ek Bahana Hain
Lata Mangeshkar · Other Songs - Lata Mangeshkar
pyaar kaa silasilaa puraanaa hai
dhadakanen dhadakanon mein kho jaaye
dil ko dil ke kareeb laanaa hai
mai hoo apane sanam kee baahon me
mere pairon tale jamaanaa hai
khwaab to kaanch se bhee naajook hai
tootane se inhe bachaanaa hai
man meraa pyaar kaa shiwaalaa hai
aap ko dewataa banaanaa hai
